The Winsome series by Katherine Reay consists of two novels: The Printed Letter Bookshop (2019) and Of Literature and Lattes (2020). Both are set in the fictional town of Winsome, Illinois, centered around a bookshop and the people connected to it. The first book follows three women whose lives intersect at the bookshop, while the second shifts focus to new characters in the same community.

The series falls into contemporary women’s fiction with a literary bent, fitting with Reay’s broader interest in stories about books and reading. The small-town setting grounds both novels in everyday relationships and personal growth. Readers who enjoyed Reay’s earlier standalone novels will find the Winsome books share the same warm, character-focused tone.
