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 McCredies little Old Town bookshop in Edinburgh. Its summer but an American production company has decided that McCredies is the perfect location to film a very cheesy Christmas movie. After all who can resist the charmingly narrow historic street with its Victorian grey stone buildings and warmly lit shop windows? Carmen Hogan the bookshops manager is amused and a bit horrified by the goings-on but 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 McCredies into a souvenir shop selling kilts made in China and plastic Nessies. Still reeling slightly from a breakup Carmens not particularly looking forward to the holidays. But just as snow begins to fall and the lights of Christmas blink on all sorts of lovely new possibilities present themselves...for McCredies bookstore and for Carmen herself.
