The Bookshop of Yesterdays
Wanting to race through the uneven pages
Instead, lingering over every word as if it were the last
Feeling like you’ve met these people somewhere before
Yet only having spoken between the creasing of the spine.
Wishing for more time to understand their purpose
But the cover has simply been closed, much too soon
Learning your own past and present, unexpectedly
While having disappeared into a world all their own.
Few books resonate so deeply that it feels like your own life is intertwined with the characters
You met while immersing yourself in another world, another time, another place.
Love, joy, place…family. Where do they all meet? That is where the future is found.

The Bookshop on the Corner
“The Bookshop on the Corner” by Jenny Colgan was a delight to read. The characters made you laugh, cry, and everything in between. The descriptive details allowed you to travel to the many destinations throughout the book. As a fictional novel, I was inspired to go after a dream of my own after learning the courage Nina had to take what seemed like a disaster and instead, make a new life of beautiful possibilities.
If you are looking for the perfect book to curl up under a blanket with a cup of tea on a rainy day, this is it! Let me know what you think!
