For this weekend pick, I wanted to choose a new holiday tale that you can cozy up with that brings all the bookworm and love story energy--Love in a Winter Wonderland by Abiola Bello. This novel set in a Black-owned bookstore during the holiday season weaves together elements of family, determination, and a hate-to-love journey that will surely provide a getaway for your weekend. It is the perfect mash up of You’ve Got Mail meeting The Sun Is Also a Star.
Working at his family owned bookstore Wonderland in London, Trey is both charming and handsome though under the surface he struggles to balance the pressures he feels to maintain his job and his popularity at school. Cue Ariel Spencer who is both creative and quirky and seeking to fill an open position at Wonderland in order to earn the much needed money towards tuition for a dream art program. Together Trey and Ariel face the reality that Wonderland is in trouble with a gentrifying neighborhood that threatens to put the beloved bookstore out of business. With the Christmas Eve deadline looming, Trey and Ariel use their collective gifts to stop Wonderland from closing.
This novel is both heartwarming and romantic. Love in a Winter Wonderland is the perfect read to get you in the holiday spirit or simply enjoy a good bookstore romance!
Until next week, keep reading!
