Midnight at the Christmas Bookshop

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 McCredie´s little Old Town bookshop in Edinburgh. It´s summer, but an American production company has decided that McCredie´s 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 bookshop´s 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 McCredie´s into a souvenir shop selling kilts made in China and plastic Nessies. Still reeling slightly from a breakup, Carmen´s 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 McCredie´s bookstore, and for Carmen herself.
