“The Husbands” by Holly Gramazio Book in front of a staircase.

The Husbands by Holly Gramazio

Imagine coming home after a night on the town with friends, to find out that you’re married… though you have no recollection of the man in front of you, let alone memories of meeting him, or your wedding. This is the exact situation main character, Lauren, encounters in Holly Gramazio’s debut novel, The Husbands. Resembling a wonky version of The Bachelorette, Lauren is faced with hundreds of ‘husbands’ over the course of the book. Readers are taken on a whimsical path as they follow Lauren through the trials and tribulations of each partner, ultimately leading to remorse. What lengths will Lauren go to when she realizes she let the right one get away? Gramazio surely brings her profession of game developer to life in this wildly amusing tale.

Bookstore Showcase

Sit back and get comfy- I've done all the traveling so you dont have to. Join me on a virtual road trip across the country as I uncover and spotlight unique, hidden-gem bookstores.


Moravian Book Shop
Bethlehem, Pennsylvania

I chose a specific bookshop for my first Bookstore Showcase, the first recognized bookstore in the United States, Moravian Book Shop. Since opening in 1745, it has continually operated in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, holding the titles for both oldest bookstore in America as well as the world!

During my time living in the Lehigh Valley, I frequented Moravian Book Shop often and their selection never disappointed. I have always remained impressed with their displays, especially their staff picks. They keep their browsing tables fresh and current, not only with new releases, but older titles that deserve renewed recognition. For those of you seeking something extra, Moravian Book Shop is also known for its gift merchandise, selling Bethlehem Stars and Christmas ornaments year-round in the ‘Christmas City’.


This bookstore was visited in August, 2026 and showcased September, 2026.
