She hates it initially, until the instructor gets her to say that her dream is to own a little bookshop. Nina is painfully shy, and only reluctantly agrees to take a team building course in order to help the newly unemployed librarians find other jobs. She loves finding the right book for the right person, and the jobs available in the media center have nothing to do with books. Nina is appalled at the direction the library is taking. The “lovely little library” she’s worked at in Birmingham is being closed down and moved to a centralized “media center,” and Nina and her colleagues have been fired.

Twenty-nine year old Nina Redmond is a complete bookworm. While not without flaws, I enjoyed the book and can recommend it. In fact, the eventual romance – and it comes late – takes a bit of a back seat. In the case of The Bookshop on the Corner, not only does the heroine love to read, the book is almost a love story about reading and the joys books can bring to people’s lives.

I like romances with heroines who love to read.
