WWW Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Sam @Taking On A World Of Words, where you have to answer these questions:
What are you currently reading?
What did you recently finish reading?
What do you think you’ll read next?
I haven’t technically started it yet, but will today.
I really enjoyed all of them.
I’ll definitely read A Clean sweep, but also want to tackle another Christmas read from my list and it’s probably going to be Christmas at Conwenna Cove.
Title: A Very Vintage Christmas
Series: An Unforgettable Christmas #1
Author: Tilly Tennant
Release Date: September 28th 2017
Pages: 285
Genre: Women’s Fiction, Chick Lit, Romance, Christmas
Rating: 
The fairy lights are up and shoppers are flooding the snowy seaside promenade. It’s going to be a busy month at Forget-Me-Not Vintage, a magical shop with a warm heart where every item has a story to be told.
With bright red hair and an infectious smile, Dodie is a hopeless romantic and absolutely one of a kind, just like the pieces in her shop.
When Dodie finds a love letter in the pocket of an old woollen coat, she makes it her mission to deliver it to its rightful owner. Following the address, she manages to persuade the handsome but reluctant new tenant, Edward, to help her with her search.
As the story of the letter unfolds, Dodie is there, as always, to pick up the pieces and make things right. But who will be there for her when her own love story needs a helping hand?
Is it too much to dream of a happy ending like the ones in the black and white movies she adores?
Dodie owns a vintage store and when she finds a letter in the pocket of an old coat, she decides to find the owner of the letter. The address on the envelope leads her to a man called Edward. Ed wants to help Dodie and together they’ll try work out the solution to find the owner of the letter. Spending a lot of time together makes them get to know each other more and the feelings are slowly growing, even though Dodie has a boyfriend and Ed’s past is still lingering in the present. Dodie has to figure out to whom her heart belongs and also solve the letter mystery.
I very much enjoyed reading about Dodie’s life, it was a beautifully written Christmas story with a little bit of the mystery in it. I loved how the plot slowly built up the background for the second book and I’m definitely looking forward to reading that one as well. I think the vintage store setting was unique and perfectly fitted with Dodie’s personality and interests. A beautiful story that has a beautiful cover.
