My rating: 3.5 stars Heard the audiobook after reading the physical book for a few pages. Preferred the audiobook. I liked the book, ok. Especially loved the references to different books sprinkled throughout the book. It does get a little boring in some parts but overall it's a casual chill read. Y...

This is less of an ode to books and more of a romantic comedy that gets a bit too fluffy and predictable. A lot of things are oversimplified or just too good to be true. I liked the descriptions of the Scottish Highlands and its rural traditions, but portraying a bustling city as bad and an idyllic ...

this book is known as The Little Shop of Happy Ever After in the UK but for some reason the updates I've tried to make haven't been kept. Nina finds herself on the brink of redundancy. She loves being a librarian, being surrounded by books and finding the right book for the right person. But redun...

Stupid pedantic complaint: as it says on the back of the book, Nina opens a mobile bookshop. So the title is driving me a little nuts. It's not on the corner; it's a bookshop in a van. It would, in fact, be hard for it to be on the corner without blocking a street. Anyway, moving on, it's a pr...

A delight to read. Books! Tiny town! People in need of help! Trains! Books, did I mention books? There was only one thing wrong with it and I imagine this is just me: Nina loves recommending books to people more than anything else. She's good at it, maybe the best. Some of the books she recommends I...

I don't read a lot of contemporary romance, but every now and then, one grabs me and won't let go. This was one of those novels and it was an impulse buy that I am extremely glad I made. I was initially taken by the cover as it sat on the shelf in my local PX. I had time to kill and no book with ...

I loved everything about The Bookshop on the Corner.Except the name. It’s a bookmobile not a corner store, which gave me the wrong mental image. Same with the book cover. I want to see the van. It’s awesome. Come on, work with me here!So I should say, everything substantial was perfect. I knew when ...
