Great light read. It is basically a Hallmark movie in words, which I don't mind in the slightest, minus some of the cheesiness & Santa. It was the exact kind of book you need after reading something heavy. The author did a good job of writing characters you both loved & sometimes got annoyed with. There were portions of the story I wish had been more developed, but the length wouldn't have necessarily added anything to the book. Highly recommend if you are looking for something light-hearted & warm.

The Printed Letter Bookshop is a tribute to friendship, motherhood, marriage and the power of good books.
If you wished How to Find Love in a Bookshop didn’t include an extra-marital affair and if you enjoyed The Lost for Words Bookshop except for the casual sex and crude language, you’ll love The Printed Letter Bookshop. If you loved Parnassus on Wheels or 84, Charing Cross Road, then you must read The Printed Letter Bookshop. And of course, if you enjoy Katherine Reay’s fascination with rare books in The Bronte Plot, way with romance in Dear Mr. Knightley, and insight into friendship in The Austen Escape and Lizzy and Jane, you’ll want to add The Printed Letter Bookshop to your bookshelf post-haste.

Another great read from Katherine Reay!
After her aunt dies, hotshot lawyer Madeline Cullen is shocked to learn that she's inherited the bookshop her aunt owned for decades.
Her first plan is to sell, but one thing leads to another and she finds herself wondering if perhaps the path she always assumed her life would take isn't the right path for her after all. Maybe it's time to reevaluate some things.
This book follows three main characters - Madeline, and the two bookshop employees, Janet and Claire.
Each of the three women have very different but equally fascinating stories, making this a very fun book to read. I enjoyed it.

Katherine Reay never disappoints! I long for more Christian fiction that isn’t preachy or Amish. Katherine brings real life working out of salvation into the story. I am going to miss each character! Write 1,000 more books, Katherine!
