Return to the enchanting world of magical books and beloved literary characters in Booked at Midnight, the second book in Emily W. Andersen's Midnights On the Square series. Filled with whimsical charm, romance, and unforgettable classic literature, this cozy fantasy is a dream come true for every book lover.

Aurelia finally has everything she ever wished for—a published novel, a thriving bookshop, and a loving relationship with her editor-turned-boyfriend, Oliver. But she also has one extraordinary secret.

Every night at midnight, the characters from classic novels step out of the pages and gather inside her magical bookshop.

When Oliver moves in, keeping those midnight literary meetings hidden becomes increasingly difficult. At the same time, Aurelia feels compelled to help Harriet from Charles Dickens' Little Dorrit rewrite the heartbreaking story she was given. But changing the fate of a beloved literary heroine proves far more complicated than expected.

As Aurelia and Harriet each fight to claim the futures they deserve, they discover that finding your own voice may be the greatest story ever written.

Overflowing with cozy bookshop vibes, literary magic, heartwarming friendships, and enchanting romance, Booked at Midnight is the perfect escape for readers who believe books can truly change lives.
