Trisha (semi-hiatus) (booksreviewsandprocrastination) | 5341 comments Description

The Borrow-a-Bookshop Bookshop Café invites literature lovers to run their very own bookshop … for a fortnight.

Spend your days talking books with customers in your own charming bookshop and serving up delicious cream teas in the cosy café.

Bookworms, what are you waiting for? Your holiday is going to be LIT(erary).

Apply to: The Borrow-a-Bookshop Bookshop Café, Down-a-long, Clove Lore, Devon.

Jude Crawley should be on top of the world. She’s just graduated as a mature student, so can finally go public about her relationship with Philosophy professor, Mack.

Until she sees Mack kissing another girl, and her dreams crumble. And worse, their dream holiday – running a tiny bookshop in the harbour village of Clove Lore for two weeks – is non-refundable.

Throwing caution to the winds, Jude heads down to Devon, eager to immerse herself in literature and heal her broken heart.

But there’s one problem – six foot tall, brooding (but gorgeous) Elliot, who’s also reserved the bookshop holiday for two weeks…

As Jude and Elliot put their differences aside to run the bookshop, it seems that Jude might be falling in love with more than just words. Until she discovers what Elliot is running from – and why he’s hiding out in Clove Lore.

Can Jude find her own happy ending in a tiny, tumbledown bookshop? Or is she about to find out that her bookish holiday might have an unexpected twist in the tale…

The perfect cosy, romantic read for any bookworm! Fans of Jenny Colgan, Cressida McLaughlin and Philippa Ashley will love this feelgood romcom.

right??!? I could have done like 25 inn amonth, but not if i had to study


Trisha (semi-hiatus) (booksreviewsandprocrastination) | 5341 comments i can on average, read three books in a day, provided i have nothing else to do
this three includes sleep and mealtimes, and some tv as well


Trisha (semi-hiatus) (booksreviewsandprocrastination) | 5341 comments so if i really wanted to and ihad nothing stopping me, i could read 90 books a month
or 1080 books a year
there's something wrong with this calculation

Trisha (semi-hiatus) (booksreviewsandprocrastination) | 5341 comments i firmly dislike my mother

she expects me to read magazine's about gk on the plane trip

and not books


Trisha (semi-hiatus) (booksreviewsandprocrastination) | 5341 comments like yes, i already downloaded books on the phone when i was not supposed to, in her defense, BUTR STILL

she thinks i won't be able to download books before the flight

well, this is on you maa, because you've clearly underestimated me


Trisha (semi-hiatus) (booksreviewsandprocrastination) | 5341 comments i am so bored and not able to focus

Trisha (semi-hiatus) (booksreviewsandprocrastination) | 5341 comments it has been a bad day


Trisha (semi-hiatus) (booksreviewsandprocrastination) | 5341 comments can i just put it out there, classification is boring


Trisha (semi-hiatus) (booksreviewsandprocrastination) | 5341 comments human physiology is interesting


Trisha (semi-hiatus) (booksreviewsandprocrastination) | 5341 comments thankfully though, classification is only going to be like 9 marks


Trisha (semi-hiatus) (booksreviewsandprocrastination) | 5341 comments but 9 marks out of 70 is so much


Trisha (semi-hiatus) (booksreviewsandprocrastination) | 5341 comments i was reading biology, and in fungi classification, there was an example, named smut

Trisha (semi-hiatus) (booksreviewsandprocrastination) | 5341 comments why is there no one around today

B  | 16445 comments Do you know I just read 4 paras of irrelevant info-dumping on CHAPTER 2!

Chapter 2. Like come on.

Ugggggggghhhhhhhh


message 4647: by B (new)

B  | 16445 comments See this is what I read.


“Along the side of the river, near where a new bridge had been built, a weatherworn statue stood, casting her shadow down the slope toward the blue-green waters. As tradition dictated, the gentlemen on the boats rose to stand while the ladies dropped our heads in respect. There were books filled with the tales of Queen Albrade riding along the countryside and fending off the Isoltens while her husband, King Shane, was off in Mooreland for matters of state. Upon his return, the king had seven statues of his wife placed across Coroa, and every August, all the ladies at court did dances holding wooden swords to remember her victory.

Indeed, the queens throughout Coroan history were often remembered more vividly than the kings, and Queen Albrade wasn’t even the most revered. There was Queen Honovi, who walked the far line of the country, setting the boundaries and blessing with a kiss the trees and rocks she used as markers. To this day, people would look for the stones in particular—as they were placed by the queen herself—and kiss them, too, for luck. Queen Lahja was famous for taking care of Coroan children at the height of the Isolten Plague, so named because when people contracted it and died, their skin turned as blue as the Isolten flag. She walked bravely into the city herself to find the little ones who survived and placed them with new families.

Even Queen Ramira, Jameson’s mother, was known across the country for her kindness. She was, perhaps, the opposite of her husband, King Marcellus. Where he tended to strike first without question, she was known to seek peace. I’d heard at least three potential wars were stopped by her gentle reasoning. The young men of Coroa owed a debt of gratitude to her. As did their mothers.

The legacies of Coroan queens left a mark on the entire continent, which was probably part of Jameson’s draw. Not only was he handsome and rich, not only would he make you a queen . . . he would make you a legend.”


I mean come on. I will forever be annoyed that this was on ch 2.

If this is not the definition of info-dumping I don’t know what is.
