Nina, a book-lover, a quiet girl and a librarian in the city who does not get up to much. Then when faced with losing her job due to technology over-taking library services she decides to move to the Scottish highlands and begin to live out her fantasy of having a mobile bookshop. I must say I rooted for Nina and her new lifestyle to work out.
Gosh this is such a hard book to rate because I absolutely loved the premise of the storyline but I also felt the storyline lost it’s way a couple of times, mostly the romantic parts in the middle of the book were a let down. Then again, I did read the ending I wanted.
I like that Colgan’s writing was light and fun. It was very easy to get through and I did end up reading 100 pages in one-sitting when I only thought I was going to read a chapter.
The setting in the Scottish highlands was so beautifully described and made me fall in love with Scotland, even though I have never been. A story about a book lover and the Scottish highlands, made for a sweet, delicate and light read. This book was perfect to read at night for hours on end by the fire place, curled up in a blanket with a cup of tea.

Don't judge a book by its cover. Fabulous cover--no depth.
After listening to this one I find myself wanting to say, "Utterly delightful!" which is quite funny b/c I would never say that in casual conversation. :)

This is a really charming book! It's book about books and why they are important, and there's some romance thrown in the mix too. It's a light, easy read, and although pretty predictable, it's still a cozy story worthy of curling up with.

Super cute. A perfect cozy read.
Discovered this author this year, read five of her books, I knew how the love story ended up because I read the second book first , as the first book I read by this author was The bookshop by the sea (chosen because of the title :)) but that didn't take much away. it is delightfully written. A book about books, one of my favorite things. Nina leaves the big city to start a mobile bookshop. Very enjoyable
