Nina Redmond is a librarian with a gift for finding the perfect book for her readers. But can she write her own happy-ever-after? In this valentine to readers, librarians, and book-lovers the world over, the New York Times-bestselling author of Little Beach Street Bakery returns with a funny, moving new novel for fans of Nina George’s The Little Paris Bookshop. Nina is a literary matchmaker. … Bookshop.
Nina is a literary matchmaker. Pairing a reader with that perfect book is her passion… and also her job. Or at least it was. Until yesterday, she was a librarian in the hectic city. But now the job she loved is no more.
Determined to make a new life for herself, Nina moves to a sleepy village many miles away. There she buys a van and transforms it into a bookmobile — a mobile bookshop that she drives from neighborhood to neighborhood, changing one life after another with the power of storytelling.
From helping her grumpy landlord deliver a lamb, to sharing picnics with a charming train conductor who serenades her with poetry, Nina discovers there’s plenty of adventure, magic, and soul in a place that’s beginning to feel like home… a place where she just might be able to write her own happy ending.

Wonderful story!
Sometimes life’s twists and turns result in new opportunities that change your life around in ways that you never imagine.
Enjoyed the vivid descriptions of scotland
While the mobile bookshop premise set in an out-of-the-way coastal town would draw in many bibliophiles, as it drew me in, the author’s sordid plunge into steamy, unexplained, noncommittal, uncommunicative sex was off-putting. The heroine’s inexplicable preference for jumping into yet another seemingly romantic relationship in the same novel that at least offered a unique tag did not rescue this reader from the feeling that I had wasted valuable free time on the kind of genre romance that I never willingly read.
A sweet story, as a young woman discovers the strength & courage inside herself, & uses it to make a fresh start, a new beginning. And it’s about BOOKS! All kinds of books, books everywhere, books for everyone.
Loved it. In the style of Mave Binchey or Rosamund Pilcher!
Inspiring
all around great read
Wonderful
Liked the plot being based on a bookshop & the unusual setting (i.e. remote Scottish village in modern times)
I loved the author’s style of writing and her descriptive words and phrases I will be sure to check out other books by her.
One of the best books I read this year. It was really a different story and I loved every minute of it.
