No place more so than her mum’s bookshop, where the recommendations are more than just a matter of taste – they’re magic. When Max’s mum dies suddenly, she leaves her daughter Lamplight Books and makes one last wish: that Max would spend a year working in the bookshop before she sells it. Max has no desire to uproot her busy life in the city to return to a place that always made her feel inadequate, but she can’t ignore her mum’s last request. So she decides on a trial run of two weeks – if she can’t even last that long, then a year would be impossible… For fans of:Outsider MCFound FamilySmall townClassic books\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePraise for The Tiny Magic Bookshop:'A cosy read, perfect for book lovers' Woman\u0026amp;Home\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e‘A tender story about grief and a wonderful love letter to bookstores and booksellers.

But when her brother arrives home with his fiancée, everything she thought she knew about her place in the bakery – and in her family – begins to crumble. Convinced she's being edged out of her own dream, Cam finds herself facing an impossible question: if she can't have the life she always wanted, what can she do? Setting up her own tattoo stall at the summer fayre feels like the answer – she’s always been proud of the beautiful art on her skin, after all – but leaving her mark on strangers terrifies her in a way that baking never has. The more Cam chases this new path, the more she suspects she's running in the wrong direction entirely. She must figure out who she really is: not who her parents need her to be, not who Lampton expects, but someone altogether more herself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReaders ADORE Lampton!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e‘For anyone who loves nothing more than to lose themselves between the pages of a wonderful story, this book will resonate’'This book feels like the coziest hug of all'‘This is the sort of book you can totally lose yourself in’'Wish I could give it more than five stars'‘This book was like a cozy hug.
