The Bookshop on the Corner: A Novel (Scottish Village of Kirrenfief, 1)

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. 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.

Ann pick. A novel about a fired librarian who opens a bookmobile. She started reading it but paused because she felt guilty about not reading something practical. She hopes to come back to it.

Need a feel good read? Love books? This one’s for you! Nina is a librarian whose life goal is to match people with the book they need. And the library is going high tech. She ends up buying a van and makes a book shop on wheels. But so much more happens. And it’s lovely.

A cozy, happy book with lots of relationships. A little unrealistic at some points but real enough to make one smile
