  *aired the week of December 12, 2025

The Door-to-Door Bookstore by Carsten Sebastian Henn. Carl Kollhoff has worked at City Gate Bookshop for decades, and despite the changes in ownership, he has a delightfully consistent routine where he delivers books to the same customers at the same time everyday. He loves the consistency, until a nine-year-old in an alarmingly bright yellow coat shows up. She calls him the Book Walker, and says she has seen him walk by every day. Despite Carl's protests, she demands to know where he walks to every day. Once he finally relents, the small change in his routine creates a snowball effect showing how books can bring people closer together, and how important the bonds we have with those in our community are. If you liked A Man Called Ove by Frederick Backman or the Last Chance Library by Freyan Sampson, try this one out!
