Nina is a librarian out of a job. When the library she works closes, she does something unexpected. She buys a van and moves to the highlands to be a travelling bookstore. Although she has more than one person telling her how bad the idea is, Nina doesn't give up and although she makes mistakes along the way, she gets the hang of it, and she travels to village to village recommending books. Moreover, the landlord of the place she's renting, Lennox, is newly single, and it doesn't take long for the two of them to butt heads, but there is a thin line between love and hate.

I found this to be a warm and cozy romance amidst the Scottish highlands.

This is fluffy and a bit fairy tale-ish. Her book van is called "The Little Shop of Happy Ever After." Everyone is hungry for books. She has a fabulous place to live and she doesn't have to pay a lot for it. She goes from being shy and not connecting with anyone really to connecting to every single person in the Scottish village. It's all just a bit too precious. It was an enjoyable reading experience, but it's all a bit much. And now for my silly quibbles . . . why is this book titled The Bookshop on the Corner? Why does the cover photo show a bookshop through a window? Why?
