About this deal

I suddenly realized that my library books are due Wednesday and I have this one and _News of the World_ still to read. Eek, drinking coffee now to stay up late and get a good ways through another of Jenny Colgan's good novels before farming duty calls in the morning. :-} Stress like this I can handle, no worries. I thi One of the strongest aspects of these books is the manner in which Jenny Colgan brings the town of Polbearne to life with its cobbled streets and fishing fleet. It is the sort of destination anyone would yearn to visit for their vacation. You smell of gingerbread… It’s awesome. It makes me horny and hungry all at the same time. They’re going to ban me from supermarkets. I’m going to turn into Fru T. Bunn, the pervy baker.

Christmas at Little Beach Street Bakery: The best feel good Christmas at Little Beach Street Bakery: The best feel good

Tienes que buscar lo que te haga feliz. Es la única manera de vivir. Tienes que hacer lo que más te gusta. Cuando descubras qué te gusta hacer, hazlo con todas tus ganas…” Apesar de ter um ou outro ponto menos bem conseguido, esta comédia romântica mantém o registo do livro anterior, que me deu imenso prazer ler!I loved all of the scenes where she actually baked the bread and thought about bread - it was fun to learn about all the different types and what you need to do to make them. But, it's just the mix of humor and seriousness that made me love reading the book. That and the wonderful setting of Mount Polbearne. Honestly, a part of me wonders why on earth haven't I read any of Jenny Colgan's books before?

Little Beach Street Bakery Series by Jenny Colgan - Goodreads

They had a design business - with her on the business and Chris on the design - but, despite everything, it fell through. Polly had worked her fingers to the bone. She had never stopped pitching, closing, discounting; doing anything to get sales for her talented other half."With no great relief, Polly and Chris are forced to give up...everything. But...she assumed that they would still have each other. ...she'd looked at him, really looked at him, and he'd said grimly, "It's over."Now, with no business, no flat and no boyfriend... Polly is forced to reevaluate everything she thought she knew. The name ‘Little Beach Street Bakery’ refers to a series of novels written by Jenny Colgan. The books tell the heartwarming story of a woman who moves to a new town to get away from her troubles. La pequeña panadería de la isla”, es una novela con una trama rápida sobre las relaciones y la forma que tenemos para comenzar de nuevo, a pesar de las adversidades. Su protagonista, Polly, una chica de treinta y pocos, no está pasando por uno de sus mejores momentos personales y termina viviendo en un piso encima de una abandonada tienda de un pequeño pueblo, donde su vida dará un completo giro. Tiene una gran evolución: al comienzo es una mujer con problemas, retraída y bastante tímida, pero acaba siendo fuerte, decidida y positiva; y logra maravillar a los habitantes de Mount Polbearne con sus deliciosas creaciones transformando su afición en su oficio. Hoover is one of the freshest voices in new-adult fiction, and her latest resonates with true emotion, unforgettable characters and just the right amount of sexual tension. Colgan has a wide fan base who find her light novels as warm and delicious as the sweets in her books. Her latest, though, is half-baked.Polly and her husband run a graphic design business together that goes belly-up. Their marriage doesn't survive the stresses of declaring bankruptcy and Polly moves to a dilapidated flat in a small seaside town in Cornwall, as it is all she can afford (slightly hard to believe, knowing how much seafront property goes for in this country, but I'll let it slide). As with most of these novels, we start with a bright, but somehow-stilted heroine, who is undergoing quite the personal upset. Then, she realizes that she has to find herself and what makes her happy. Enter the small, charming, seaside town and a conglomeration of quirky, fantastical characters. En definitiva, la autora nos regala una lectura amena con personajes pintorescos y entrañables, no tiene grandes pretensiones más que entretener y hacer pasar un buen momento al lector, mezclando romance, humor y algún que otro drama. I love the setting, I love the characters, but I was expecting a Christmas book. Christmas was not the focal point of the story. I have read two other books by Jenny Colgan with Christmas in the title, and Christmas played a prominent role in the story. If you’re looking for a Christmas story, which I was, this one was a disappointment. I suggest reading other books by her.
