Friday Finds | 03-07-2025 | Welcome
Happy Friday, friends!
March is rolling in with all the charm of a well-loved book, and this week’s Friday Finds is packed with fantastic reads, tempting recipes, and a little creative fun. Whether you’re in the mood for a gripping crime thriller, a swoon-worthy romance, or a spellbinding fantasy, there’s something here for everyone. Plus, with St. Patrick’s Day just around the corner, I couldn’t resist sharing some Irish-inspired recipes to get you in the festive spirit—Boxty Potato Pancakes, anyone?
Now, let’s dive into this week’s finds!
Peace & Love,
Gina

I’ve always thought I would love to have a bookshop that also sold coffee, tea, and cookies.

The Rabbit Listened by Cori Doerrfeld
A moving and universal picture book about empathy and kindness, sure to soothe heartaches big and small—now a New York Times bestseller and a perfect gift for any special occasion
When something sad happens, Taylor doesn’t know where to turn. All the animals are sure they have the answer. The chicken wants to talk it out, but Taylor doesn’t feel like chatting. The bear thinks Taylor should get angry, but that’s not quite right either. One by one, the animals try to tell Taylor how to act, and one by one they fail to offer comfort. Then the rabbit arrives. All the rabbit does is listen . . . which is just what Taylor needs.
With its spare, poignant text and irresistibly sweet illustration, The Rabbit Listened is about how to comfort and heal the people in your life, by taking the time to carefully, lovingly, gently listen.

Undercover cop Rob Langton has one aim – to bring the family down.
And his time is running out…
But Rob soon realises the Carters aren’t just dangerous criminals. If he can’t stop them, the consequences will be explosive.

When I was a little girl, I wanted to one day own a hotel by the ocean/beach so I could always go to the beach. That didn’t happen and I don’t think I’d like that anyway now.
If I had unlimited money now, I’d probably just build up my book business with stuffies of my book characters. Then maybe people would finally pay attention to The Underground Toy Society.

I used to want a bookstore too, until someone pointed out that it was more about long working hours and less about reading books.
