jaklyns_library 's review for:
The Bookshop on the Corner
by Jenny Colgan
I don't know why it took me so long to get to this one! It was been on my TBR list for years and I'e owned an eBook copy for a long time. I finally picked it up because I've been reading some heavier themed books and wanted a reprieve. It did not disappoint!
It is a fictional story of a woman named Nina whose job at a library is terminated when the Birmingham library is closed down. She realizes now is the time to make some changes in her life and decides to follow her life's dream of owning a bookshop. She buys a van and moves to Scotland where she drives her mobile bookshop around meeting a host of interesting characters.
There is major book love in this book, friendship, romance. It is atmospheric and makes me long to visit Scotland. It had me playing instrumental Gaelic music and sipping whiskey (which I never thought I liked). It is cozy and adorable and I loved it! I finished it in two very solid reading chunks on raining days curled up on the couch with a blanket and my dog.
I recommend this book to anyone who loves books about books and readers, who love a book that can transport you to a beautiful, idealistic setting (like the Highlands of Scotland), and who love a good, wholesome romance.
