Your most delightful holiday read: the sequel to the instant New York Times bestseller The Christmas Bookshop,from beloved Scottish author Jenny Colgan. Christmas comes early–far too early–to McCredie’s little Old Town bookshop in Edinburgh. It’s summerbut an American production company has decided that McCredie’s is the perfect location to film a very cheesy Christmas movie. After allwho can resist the charmingly narrow historic street with its Victorian grey stone buildings and warmly lit shop windows? Carmen Hoganthe bookshop’s manageris amused and a bit horrified by the goings-onbut the money the studio is paying is too good to pass up. She uses the little windfall from filming to create new displays and fend off a buyout offer from an obnoxious millionaire who wants to turn McCredie’s into a souvenir shop selling kilts made in China and plastic Nessies. Still reeling slightly from a breakupCarmen’s not particularly looking forward to the holidays. But just as snow begins to fall and the lights of Christmas blink onall sorts of lovely new possibilities present themselves…for McCredie’s bookstoreand for Carmen herself.
