#BookFaceFriday “The Christmas Bookshop” by Jenny Colgan
Merry #BookFaceFriday!
Whether you participate in the Icelandic tradition of Jólabókaflóð, or just love gifting books, we can’t recommend shopping at your local bookstores enough and this week’s #BookFace presented the perfect opportunity to highlight one! If you’re just looking for a cozy festive read, check out “The Christmas Bookshop: A Novel” by Jenny Colgan (HarperCollins, 2021) available as an ebook and audiobook in Nebraska OverDrive Libraries. It’s a part of the the curated collection, “Warm Up With Holiday Reading.” Find your perfect winter read in this collection of over 470 titles, available all December.
“Colgan’s new Edinburgh-set Christmas novel is full of references to books, descriptions of the twisty insides of a bookshop, and fun details about Scotland, Quakerism, and the centuries-old Great Yew Tree of Ormiston. Get ready to root for these charming characters as they bungle their way toward a merry Christmas.”
