the printed letter bookshop by katherine reay

While Madeline intends to sell the shop as quickly as possible, the Printed Letter's two employees have other ideas. But by the time Madeline inherits the shop nearly twenty years later, family troubles and her own bitter losses have hardened Madeline's heart toward her once-treasured aunt-and the now struggling bookshop left in her care. If you purchase this book through the links above I will earn a small fee at no additional cost to you.One of Madeline Cullen's happiest childhood memories is of working with her Aunt Maddie in the quaint and cozy Printed Letter Bookshop.

I received an advanced readers copy of this book as part of my participation in a blog tour with TLC Book Tours. There were a few references to lines of proverbs and God, but to me I didn’t think it was the overall theme of the book. Had I not been told, I wouldn’t have thought to characterize it as such. I haven’t read Christian Fiction before and wasn’t sure what to expect. It’s a lovely read for any book club, happy reading! My 2¢: it would certainly translate well into a Hallmark movie. I needed to know they would all be alright. The story had a slow build but once I was deeply wrapped in these three women’s stories I could not stop turning the pages. And, right under her nose is a fella named Chris ( who wouldn’t want their own Chris is all I am going to say). Both Claire and Janet are lonely in their own ways so Madeline fits right in. On top of the bookshop, she inherits its motley crew staff: Claire and Janet. Madeline doesn’t want it, but becoming a bookshop owner will lead her on a path of self-discovery whether she is looking for herself or not. Work pressure alone is stifling, but now let’s add in the fact that she is the sole inheritor of her recently deceased aunt’s estate which includes a home and bookshop that are underwater. Young gun lawyer, Madeline is aiming for a partnership at her firm.

Okay, too much dessert talk and I feel like I need to bake something. Its simple ingredients are still packed with that addictive sugar…y ou see what I’m doing here 😉 This book is just as good as that smooth red velvet cake or decadent molten lava cake: it doesn’t need the fancy frills to keep you yearning for the next bite. Hello restaurants! You taking note here?! XO, Saturday Nite Sweet Tooth If this book was a dessert it would be Strawberry Shortcake – the one with the homemade biscuit and whipped cream – my favorite dessert that is underrated and needs to be served at more restaurants for me to enjoy. Make your favorite beverage, pull up a chair, take a seat, and get comfy: this book will give you all the warm and fuzzy feel good feels. Category: Contemporary, Women’s Fiction, Christian Fiction
