Bookshop on Main Borrowed Time: A Bookshop on Main Novel, Book 8, (Paperback)

<p>Some books you finish. Some books finish you.</p><p>Wren Cafferty flies home to Ashby with a numbered list, a rental car, and a return flight she has every intention of catching. Two weeks to close up her mother's house, that is the whole plan. She is a children's-book editor who has spent eleven years fixing the world with a red pen. Sam Hollis is the town librarian who loses his phone hourly, keeps a large orange cat named Hemingway on staff, and runs a Tuesday reading hour for six small children, a program that began, years ago, in the basement of her mother's house.</p><p>The house still smells of cinnamon. The porch light still comes on for no one. And somewhere on the shelves waits a childhood book with Edith's handwriting crowding the margins, a page she meant to come back to and never finished. Borrowed Time is a cozy small-town Christmas romance about a daughter who came to settle an estate and catch a flight, and did not plan on a man who keeps other people's bookmarks, a town that assumes she is staying, or the particular danger of sitting at a kitchen table after dark. Two weeks was supposed to be exactly enough time to leave. It turns out to be exactly enough time to be read.</p><p>Tropes: small-town Christmas, a homecoming, a returning daughter, a warm-hearted librarian, and a mother's last words in the margins. Closed-door, dual POV, with a guaranteed happy ending.</p><p><i>Book 8 in The Bookshop on Main series. Can be read as a standalone.</i></p>
