THE BOOKSTORE DIARIES

MARCH 3, 2026

Posted January 21, 2026

Cozy Vibes Only: A Giveaway for Feel-Good Fiction Fans

Dear Reader,

I love bookstores! I mean, I love-love them. Whenever Mr. Mallery and I travel to a new town, the first thing I want to do is to find the local bookstore. Yes, yes, I bring books with me, but that’s not the point—the point is discovery. It’s just such a joy to browse the shelves, surrounded by books and book lovers. Which is why I’m so honored that Barnes & Noble is hosting an exclusive preorder giveaway to celebrate my upcoming brand-new book, The Bookstore Diaries. Preorder The Bookstore Diaries from Barnes & Noble by March 2, and you’ll be automatically entered for a chance to win a swoon-worthy prize package: a Pottery Barn Chenille Windowpane Throw, Baskits Simply the Best gift box, Tea gift set, Papier Reading Journal, and a $100 Barnes & Noble gift card! No purchase necessary. See official rules at the link below. The giveaway ends March 2, and the book comes out on March 3.

WHERE ELSE CAN YOU GET THE BOOKSTORE DIARIES? EVERYWHERE!

This summer, the town’s juiciest secrets are revealed in New York Times bestselling author Susan Mallery’s joyful and sparkling new novel.

Jax has a slight issue with control—as in, she needs it. Always. Too bad she only has power over the Painted Lady Bookstore, the Victorian mansion turned bookshop she inherited. No one else listens to a word she says. Her ex gets engaged for questionable reasons. Her beloved sister Ryleigh wants to move away to find a husband. And the handsome contractor Jax has chosen to convince Ryleigh to stay is only interested in Jax.

Still, she’s living the bookworm dream—until an unhappy accident erases the names off the bookshop lockboxes where the town keeps their diaries. Which means the only way to find a diary’s owner is…to read it.

As secrets spill and scandals surface, life at the Painted Lady Bookstore gets a lot more colorful and chaotic. But for a woman who’s always had to take charge, Jax will see that losing control—especially with the right wrong guy—can set you free.
