Jencey's Corner

One of my favorite places to escape is a bookstore.  So to go to the Corner Bookshop would be even  be better.  Jenny Colgan is a writer that I have wanted to read for a long time.  Readers can also check out many of Jenny's back list.  Here is an excerpt from   The Bookshop on the Corner . "The problem with good things that happen is that very often they disguise themselves as awful things. It would be lovely, wouldn’t it, whenever you’re going through something difficult, if someone could just tap you on the shoulder and say, “Don’t worry, it’s completely worth it. It seems like absolutely horrible crap now, but I promise it will all come good in the end,” and you could say, “Thank you, Fairy Godmother.” You might also say, “Will I also lose that seven pounds?” and they would say, “But of course, my child!”             That would be useful, but it isn’t how it is, which is why we sometimes plow on too long with things that aren’t making us happy, or give up too quickly

Paula Hawkins published her debut novel THE GIRL ON THE TRAIN last year.  It was considered one of the best books of 2015.  It received high praise from such publications as Publisher’s Weekly and others.  You all know me well by know so following the grapevine of news about new books is what I am all about.  I heard many good things about this book.  The movie will be released in the United States as a movie October 7th of this year.
