The Little Bookshop of Love Stories - Jaimie Admans


Having previously read this author and enjoyed her writing style, I had to pick up this book. 

Winning a bookshop is every book lovers dream, however this one came with financial difficulties. And a man who is there everyday but not employed, yet knows more about the bookshop than the owner. 

At times I did find this story a little bit repetitive, especially in the first half. I found that a lot of things did repeat =, especially in the same chapter. After half way the story started to pick up and get moving. 

There are some great characters in this book and also some great imagery that you can picture, the little village and shopping square among them. There are a lot of references to the film Anastasia, if you haven't seen it then you might not know exactly what is being mentioned in some parts. 

An enjoyable read, I can see there being some sort of follow up. Lets see what happens next!

Let it Snow - Sue Moorcroft

Buy Here I have to be honest and say I am only 70% through this book, so I will review up to where I have read. When I started this book I was a bit unsure where it was going or what it was doing. However it was soon explained as the characters and the plot started to thicken.  I am really enjoying getting to know the characters and going through their life with them. Highs and low. Of course as always some are more liked than others, but I'll let you make your own judgement on that!  Sue really does describe the atmosphere and the locations so that you can see them and imagine you are there too. It's making me want to wrap up warm and go and play in the snow.  I am excited to read the rest of the book and hopefully my predictions are correct.... Or not!
