Review: Christmas - The Christmas Bookshop is a delightful, feel-good novel that celebrates books, love, and new beginnings. It’s an ideal choice for readers looking for a cozy Christmas story with emotional depth and plenty of festive spirit.
Review: A Story of Creating Bonds, Extending Kindess and Love - Carmen followed her heart and read books wherever her interests took her, about space, history, romance, anything she felt like, alighting from one to the next like a butterfly.’ In her family, Carmen is viewed as the one who is floundering career-wise, although she is loved by her parents, she is viewed in a different light than her older, and more successful sister, Sofia. The successful lawyer, the one who also has three children and another on the way, as well as a successful husband. Carmen, on the other hand, has no love life, a rather dreary job which she loses early on as this story begins. Now jobless, she moves back home with her parents, temporarily, until her mother suggests, perhaps, she could move in with her sister Sofia, and help out with the house and kids as well as a client of Sofia’s, a man who owns a failing bookshop, Mr. McCredie. McCredie’s bookshop is in a bit of a financial pickle, he has a very limited amount of time before he loses the bookshop, which happens to also be where he lives in the rooms beyond where the public see - that is if anyone were actually coming in to shop for books. Even if they did, they’d have a very difficult time trying to find anything. If he can’t find a way to attract enough buyers before Christmas, he will lose everything. If he can raise enough money, he will at least be able to sell it, although it seems impossible. When Carmen arrives at Sofia’s house, it is the first time she’s seen it. To her it almost seems like a house out of a fairy tale. While Sofia welcomes her in, there is a sense of her viewing her more as another “helper” than a beloved sister. It’s only once she’s there that she is aware that Sofia also expects her to be the back-up nanny to Skyler, since Skyler is also a university student, and has her yoga and meditation to keep up with, as well. Although the children don’t seem to be particularly fond of their Aunt Carmen at first, she does manage to win them over, a little at a time. The youngest is the first to warm up to her, and she notes that Pippa, her older sister seems to be a lot like Sofia as she seems to enjoy tormenting her little sister. This story, for the most part, is set between the bookshop where she goes to help Mr. McCredie save his bookshop from financial ruin. It is a much bigger task than she’d expected, but the more time she spends there the more invested she becomes. It helps that she loves to read, and so she has a good eye for both the books, and the importance of having some way to draw people into the store. When she comes across McCredie’s old train set, the whole scene of how the bookshop will look begins to take form in her mind. She also adds a story-telling time for children, which helps, as the parents tend to love the bookshop’s transformation. Her love for both the work she is doing there grows. At the same time, she is working to help McCredie interact more with the patrons, and soon thereafter, another surprise helps. A famous, beloved author will be coming there to do both sign books and do a reading. A sweet story that shares the beauty that surrounds the area, a beauty that comes from both the patrons, the descriptions of the local buildings, the oncoming days of wintry snow, and more. There is also a bit of a romance, a love story, but at its heart, this story is about creating bonds, and how extending kindness and love might, perhaps, lead to becoming a better and more loving person.

### ⭐⭐⭐ Enjoyable Christmas Read
*by R***O on October 22, 2025*

This is a well written typical Christmas story that is very enjoyable. I was pleasantly surprised that the story held more meaning than the typical holiday romance. I would recommend it to anyone who could use a reminder that love of many kinds continues in this confusing, often troubling, world. Read it for relaxing comfort with a cup of hot chocolate on a cold and snowy day.
