The Christmas Bookshop by Jenny Colgan
Laid off from her department store job, Carmen has perilously little cash and few options. The prospect of spending Christmas with her perfect sister Sofia, in Sofia’s perfect house with her perfect children and her perfectly ordered yuppie life does not appeal.
Frankly, Sofia doesn’t exactly want her prickly sister Carmen there either. But Sofia has yet another baby on the way, a mother desperate to see her daughters get along, and a client who needs help revitalizing his shabby old bookshop. So Carmen moves in and takes the job.

My wife is a sweet potato fanatic. Guess what we’re going to be eating next week . . .
“How to Catch an Elf” sounds like my kind of book.
The Christmas Bookshop looks good to me. Might give that one a try.
I’m going to make the Sweet Potatoe Pomegranate salad.
I love your Friday Finds. Thanks!
