The Lost Bookshop

 Author: Evie Woods

Hi Everyone

This is one to add to your list!

I thought, 'I should read more rather than scrolling my phone, watching Youtube, or Netflix and see if I could sleep a little better at night'. Well, how wrong was I?!?

The Lost Bookshop was my choice of reading material. All it did was made me sit up until all hours of the morning reading. Seriously? This isn't how it is meant to work. Getting off the blue light of our phones is intended to help sleep..... wrong.

Reading this novel, you spend one chapter in the past (historical figure), then one in the present. Often these kinds of novels annoy me. I constantly consider reading every second chapter, then returning to read the other time zone. I was pleasantly surprised by this novel. I was quite content to travel both story lines, parallel to each other. It was extremely well-connected. I got hooked on both situations as a whole. 

But it was the last quarter that had me up reading until 1am.  Yes, that is correct, 1am in the morning, when my end goal was to go to sleep earlier.  Really, this book is well worth picking up. So much so that I have purchased 'The Story Collector" by Evie Woods.  If this next book is as good, then I will be adding Evie Woods to my must-read authors' list.

Description

On A quiet street in Dublin, a lost bookshop is waiting to be found...

For too long, Opaline, Martha, and Henry have been the side characters in their own lives.

But when a vanishing bookshop casts it spell, these three unsuspecting strangers will discover that their own stories are every bit as extraordinary as the ones found in the pages of their beloved books. And by unlocking he secrets of the shelves, they find themselves transported to a world of wonder... where nothing is as it seems.

Happy reading
