A bookish cozy fantasy for fans of Travis Baldree and Lucy Jane Wood. There’s magic in a book …
Max always felt too ordinary for the magical village of Lampton. No place more so than her mum’s bookshop, where the recommendations are more than just a matter of taste – they’re magic.
When Max’s mum dies suddenly, she leaves her daughter Lamplight Books and makes one last that Max would spend a year working in the bookshop before she sells it.
Max has no desire to uproot her busy life in the city to return to a place that always made her feel inadequate, but she can’t ignore her mum’s last request. So she decides on a trial run of two weeks – if she can’t even last that long, then a year would be impossible…
Bookstores are magical places. The Tiny Magic Bookshop is more than magical it's healing in a way. Max's mother died when hit by a car. She leaves Max the bookstore with a final clause in her will. Live there at least a year before deciding to sell it or not. Max had always felt like she was a failure. She just wasn't enough. That she was a disappointment. The bookstore's magic is there for her necessary healing and others. This book is one I will always recommend for anyone but especially for people who think they are never enough. Wish I could give it more than five stars.
