Travel, personal growth, friendships new and old and a little bit of romance all tied up with a Christmas Bow.  I look forward to reading the next two.  🙂

Cute.  Light romance, rather predictable, rather convenient.  Not sure about how this book came about now, as it appears to have been published in the UK in 2015.  Phrasing in the book is rather odd, almost as though it's a translation.  Picture this - two women are strolling and shopping in an area where a Christmas market is set up, and the stop to "ogle" the manger scene.  Ogle?  One example of many odd descriptive phrases.

This would be a good book as a palate cleanser between heavier issues, or for someone seeking a light romance with a winter/Christmas in Paris theme.

Apparently part of two different series by this author.  That should have been made clearer.

Eh.  This didnt do it for me. I didn't like the couple. The main character drove me nuts. The way she is treated by the "friend " who swaps places with her is horrid. The relationship with her boyfriend is just awful. It had moments when describing Paris but overall, NO.

Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC of The Little Bookshop on the Seine. I did not finish it, simply because it is just not my kind of book. For those into romance novels and a lighter fare, this will be just their cup of tea!

The Little Bookshop in the Seine is a cute romance that is a must read. I love the characters and the storyline. Everyone wants to go to Paris.

I love all these books by Rebecca Raisin!  It's such a great series, and I always look forward to the next one!  I especially loved this story of the bookshop.  It was such a lovely thought to think of running a bookshop!

Who could turn down an offer like that? Bookshop owner Sarah Smith has the opportunity to exchange shops with her friend in Paris for six months and she isn’t going to turn the offer down. Sure, it will be tricky, leaving her boyfriend behind, but sometimes you just have to go for the gusto. The whole gig sounds like a dream come true, and in many ways, as Sarah will discover, it is. I loved this story, who wouldn’t want to trade their life in (at least temporarily) for something new and exotic?
