I’m really enjoying all these Christmas books! Yes, I know it’s a bit early, but it’s getting me into the festive spirit prematurely! Any book with the word ‘bookshop’ in the title is a must and ‘Tanglewood’ sounded such a cute name for a village that I immediately knew I’d like this.
Kazz has had enough of London, she’s lost her job, and her home and her Mum is moving away so she ups sticks and heads off to South Wales to join her friend for a few weeks, temporarily taking over the lease of a bookshop to sell off her Grandad’s beloved books. Tanglewood is very much a different pace of life than what she’s used to, but will she decide it’s the place she wants to call home?
The Tanglewood Bookshop is a cute and cosy read. I loved the setting in the small village, complete with a tea shop, a pub and, of course, the bookshop. Kazz and Saul, although very different, hit it off from the start and, with a bit of interference from Betty, the absolutely loveable village busybody, became very close, very quickly!
If you love a Christmassy book, with great characters (Donald is the best btw) and beautiful surroundings, then I would definitely recommend adding this to your Christmas list.
Thank you to NetGalley, Boldwood Books and Rachel’s Random Resources for the opportunity to read and review The Tanglewood Bookshop by Lilac Mills.
About the Book
A rural book shop. A chance to start over. But can she make her dream a reality? Kazz used to love the excitement of her London life, but lately her passion for expensive city living has begun to wane. So when she's given the opportunity to open a bookshop in picturesque Tanglewood, she jumps at the chance.
But village life is much quieter than she anticipated – is she actually suited for rural living? Resigned to a boring and uneventful Christmas, when she meets gorgeous Saul she is more than ready to have some fun and enjoy the festivities. If only Saul didn't have a reputation for being a player...
Will Kazz become the heroine in her own Christmas romance, or will he love her and leave her under the mistletoe?
About Lilac
Lilac lives on a Welsh hillside with her very patient husband and incredibly sweet dog, where she grows veggies (if the slugs don't get them), bakes (badly) and loves making things out of glitter and glue (a mess, usually).
She's been an avid reader ever since she got her hands on a copy of Noddy Goes to Toytown when she was five, and she once tried to read everything in her local library starting with A and working her way through the alphabet.
She loves long, hot summer days in the garden, and cold winter ones snuggled in front of the fire, but whatever the weather she's usually writing, or thinking about writing, with heartwarming romance and happy-ever-afters always on her mind.
