Hello darlings! I recently watched for the first time ever the 2017 film “The Bookshop” directed by Isabel Coixet and starring Emily Mortimer. There were so so so many books that were either talked about or shown throughout the movie that I had to make a list of the books that were shown.
This list includes all the notable books that play a part in the film's narrative or are seen in the bookshop.
Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov
Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury
The Martian Chronicles by Ray Bradbury
The Death of the Heart by Elizabeth Bowen
The Journal of Sylvia Plath
A High Wind in Jamaica by Richard Hughes
Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad
The Once and Future King by T.H. White
The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck
Moby Dick by Herman Melville
Brave New World by Aldous Huxley
To the Lighthouse by Virginia Woolf
Goodbye to Berlin by Christopher Isherwood
The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger
Of Human Bondage by W. Somerset Maugham
The Old Man and the Sea by Ernest Hemingway
Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë
The movie shows an impressive number of amazing books. Authors of amazing classic literature. This would be an amazing tbr list for anyone that doesn’t know what to read this summer or would want to get more into classic literature.
Thank you for reading this post! This post was quite short. Some of these books have been in my tbr for the longest time and some have been newly added to my already never-ending tbr list. Comment down below if you’ve read any of these books or if any of them are in your tbr!

Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë is another one of my favourites! All of the others sound like great books. Is The Bookshop movie good? 🤗
