The Bookshop on the Corner by Jenny Colgan

The Bookshop on the Corner by Jenny Colgan 332 Pages

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.



While this book is not part of a series, it is a precursor to The Bookshop on the Shore and it is better to read them in order. This book is  light-hearted  and enjoyable and I will be reading more books by this author.
