Fiction. Literature. Romance. HTML:“A heartfelt and lovely Christmas tale for book lovers everywhere!”—Jenny Colgan, author of The Bookshop on the Shore
 
In small-town England, two booksellers facing tough times decide to spread some Christmas cheer through the magic of anonymous book deliveries in this uplifting holiday tale for book lovers everywhere.
Nora and her husband, Simon, have run the beautiful oak-beamed book shop in their small British village for thirty years. But times are tough and the shop is under threat of closure—this Christmas season will really decide their fate. When an elderly man visits the store and buys the one book they've never been able to sell, saying it's the perfect gift for his sick grandson, it gives Nora an idea. She and Simon will send out books to those feeling down this Christmas. Maybe they can't save their bookstore, but at least they'll have one final chance to lift people's spirits through the power of reading.
After gathering nominations online, Nora and Simon quietly deliver books to six residents of the village in need of some festive cheer, including a single dad of twins who is working hard to make ends meet, a teenage boy grieving for his big sister, a local Member of Parliament who is battling depression, and a teacher who's newly retired and living on her own. As the town prepares for a white Christmas, the books begin to give the recipients hope, one by one. But with the future of the bookshop still up in the air, Nora and Simon will need a Christmas miracle—or perhaps a little help from the people whose lives they've touched—to find a happy ending of their own....

4.25/5 A book that checks off all the requirements of a cozy Christmas read. A heartfelt, seasonal tale, Nora and Simon run an Indie bookstore in the Cotswalds, a store that might have to close due to the lack of customers in this modern, Amazon world. They decide to hold a contest and send out six books to lonely people in their town. Can giving away these books transform their village? Read and see. ( )

About a bookshop that was having financial troubles. The owners gave away anonymously books to several people. People’s lives were changed. Help came from strangers. I liked this book. ( )

Struggling bookshop owners decide to randomly give away six Christmas books to community members who are having a hard time. Each book goes to just the person who needs it most — but in the meantime, will the bookshop be saved, or is this their last Christmas?

A pleasant enough seasonal read, but I found it way too pat and tidy. If you’re looking for a Christmassy read all wrapped up and tied with a bow, here you go! ( )

Nora and Simon have run their small bookshop in a village in the Cotswolds their entire married lives. But as Christmas approaches they're facing the reality of falling sales that means the shop may have to close. While things look bleak, they still decide to run a giveaway in their community asking for nominations of people who are facing a difficult time during the holidays and who could use a free book. As the books find the people who need them, the community will be reminded of the value of reading and the importance of the bookstore.

It's a really sweet holiday novel. Are the problems pretty neatly resolved and the matching of books with problems a little pat? Yes. But it detracts nothing from this reader's enjoyment. If you're looking for a cozy and undemanding holiday read, you can't go wrong with this one. ( )
