My book club read Gabrielle Zevin's book The Storied Life of A. J. Fikry. I had never heard the word storied before. Store, stores, stored, stories were all familiar to me but not storied. I guess storied means legendary. A. J. is a book seller. He comes across as grumpy and judgmental but events happen in his life that soften his edges. The novel had quite a few surprises and all the loose ends were tied up nicely in the end. After our book club has read some books about difficult topics lately, this book was a nice change of pace. Everyone in the meeting liked it.
