'Funny and romantic - a perfect winter warmer!' The SunTis the season to be jolly!But on Rochester Mews, two unlikely lovebirds are struggling to find their festive cheer.Star baker Mattie has hated Christmas ever since she had her heart broken on Christmas Eve. The only thing she hates more is the insufferable Tom, who has rubbed her up the wrong way since she started running the tearoom next door to his bookshop. So when Mattie and Tom are left in charge in the frantic festive days before Christmas, it might be cold outside but things are sure to heat up.Can a bookshop full of romantic novels, a life-sized reindeer and a mistletoe kissing booth persuade two scrooges to fall in love with Christmas... and each other?

No snow yet here in CT, so pictured are book covers with snow or snowflakes.

Amiable I‘m not going to lie —I‘m not upset about the lack of snow so far. I‘m not mentally prepared to drive in it yet. 😬 12mo
Eggs Clever and pretty ❄️⛄️❄️ 12mo
kspenmoll @Amiable I actually agree. Winter is not my thing. 12mo

This would be the last book I read which took place in a #bookshop, even better some of it was also set in a tea room. A really enjoyable book which is an ideal read incorporating the Christmas theme.

Good. Full of festive cheer and romance. Nice ending to a wonderful series. Liked how the last page not just wrapped up this story but the stories of the characters that were the main characters in the other books in nice neat paragraphs.

This was a very enjoyable read centred around a book shop and a cafe approaching Christmas time . Enjoyed spending time with these two characters who at times had an interesting relationship before coming together. Mind you her ex-partner was a right piece of work. 😡

21st book finished for #WinterReadathon

Starting a new audiobook, from another unknown author, loving the cover.

This is book 4 in the Lonely Hearts Bookshop Series.

Birdsong28 Nearly finished this. It's so good. Found out that it was originally called Under the Mistletoe at the Lonely Hearts Bookshop which in my opinion would have been better as the title doesn't match with the rest of the series 2y
Andrew65 @Birdsong28 Good to hear. Agreed, would be a better title. 2y

Mattie would never understand what the deal was with the Happy Ever After staff and all their many, many, many books. ‘Really, Posy, couldn‘t you just go digital? Have you any idea how many books you could put on an e-reader?‘
Posy made a furious huffing noise.
‘Best not to go there,‘ Tom advised

I‘m assuming that this (Under the Mistletoe at the Lonely Hearts Bookshop) is the same as ‘A Winter Kiss on Rochester Mews‘.
The first chapter reminds me of all the ...‘joys‘ ... of pregnancy; swollen ankles, heartburn, ... 🤗
Our heroine, Mattie from the tea shop, is not a book lover 🤔

Pigs in blankets sausage rolls inspired by the tagged book! Sausagemeat and stuffing wrapped in bacon with tomato purée wrapped in puff pastry finished with a grating of cheese sprinkled on top ?

Crazeedi Omg they look delicious 5y
Crazeedi Share the recipe? 5y
Cosyreader @Crazeedi I used ready-made sausagemeat, stuffing and pastry so not much of a recipe! Roll out the pastry, mash the sausagemeat and stuffing together and make one long sausage. Place this on the pastry, wrap some slices of bacon around it (up to you how much), squeeze tomato purée down side and fold the pastry over. Brush with egg, sprinkle some cheese and bake for about 20 mins at 180 deg until golden. Sorry I don‘t do precision! 5y
Crazeedi @Cosyreader I dont do precision either! Thank you! I know how hard it is sometimes to give people recipes! I'm going to try this 5y

Am I the only one who thinks that if you start a series with one cover/ theme it should be carried through? The circled book is the 4th in a wonderful series about a romance themed bookshop and it's staff I am looking forward to reading the 4th book but the cover is slightly annoying me cos it's different. 😂😂

jpmcwisemorgan I don‘t like when they change covers either. 6y
wanderinglynn I despise when they change cover formats. 😖 6y
LiteraryinPA That would annoy me too! 6y

Birdsong28 Look at these cover changes @LibrarianRyan 📚📖 5y
LibrarianRyan @Birdsong28 Yeah it can be a pet peeve of mine as well. This is a cover change but not a crazy one. A crazy adult cover change happened for the Queen Betsy books from Mary Janice Davidson. Crazy change. But the story also changed as well, and went from light hearted fun, to this sucks. #coverchanges. 5y
Birdsong28 @LibrarianRyan It's not just the cover that changes with this also the title if you look as 3 of them say at the lonely hearts bookshop then the last one says a winter kiss at Rochester mews. 5y
LibrarianRyan @Birdsong28 I didn't catch that. Yeah that would annoy me. I might not pick it up thinking it was a different series. 5y
