About The Christmas Bookshop

Carmen Hogan, newly unemployed and adrift, is sent by her family to Edinburgh to help her aunt run a failing, old-fashioned bookshop through the Christmas season in The Christmas Bookshop (2021) -- a story about books, family obligation, and an Edinburgh Christmas pulling Carmen out of her own stalled life. Midnight at the Christmas Bookshop (2023) returns to the same shop and setting for a second, connected festive story. As with several of Jenny Colgan's series, a small independent bookshop anchors a wider story about community and reinvention, here specifically tied to the Christmas season.

Frequently asked questions

How many Christmas Bookshop books are there?

Two: The Christmas Bookshop (2021) and Midnight at the Christmas Bookshop (2023).

Is The Christmas Bookshop connected to Jenny Colgan's Scottish Bookshop series?

No -- different bookshop, different characters and a different Scottish city (Edinburgh rather than the fictional Highland town of Kirrinfief); the two series are unrelated beyond both centring on bookshops.
