My second book purchase from the book department of El Corte Inglês shopping mall in Lisbon, Portugal. Paperback by Arrow Books, 464 pages.

Synopsis:

"With the bookshop where she works about to close, hopeless romantic Laura Horsley recklessly finds herself agreeing to help organize a literary festival deep in the heart of the English countryside. But her initial excitement is rapidly followed by a mounting sense of panic when she realizes just how much work is involved - especially when an innocent mistake leads the festival committee to believe that Laura is a personal friend of the author at the top of their wish-list. Laura might be secretly infatuated with the infamous Dermot Flynn, but traveling to Ireland to persuade the notorious recluse to come out of hiding is another matter.

Determined to rise to the challenge she sets off to meet her literary hero. But all too soon she's confronted with more than she bargained for - Dermot the man is maddening, temperamental and up to his ears in a nasty case of writer's block. But he's also infuriatingly attractive - and, apparently, out to add Laura to his list of conquests."

I read most of this book while returning to Finland from my central Europe holiday, warm and fluffy books like this make perfect airplane reading on the way home as they partly take away the sorrow of an ending holiday.

I had read Highland Fling by this same author before and ended up liking Love Letters just as much. I sympathized with the leading lady Laura a lot. Literary festivals, manor houses, wonderful Irish countryside, growing self confidence and a charming man made this a chick lit gem. Not pondering if it was believable or not, this was a very relaxing book.

Picked up the book at the local meetup tonight.

Not bad at all, the best in this genre I have read this year and perhaps the most entertaining of the Fforde books I have read. A tad too long I would say, a little bit of editing would have done a lot of good (which is slightly amusing as Fforde mentions a few times in the book the importance of a good editor...). Everything seemed to get sorted rather easily but then again, what's reality got to do with these books :-) I was entertained so it was perfect holiday reading.

Kirja lähti aamusella postin matkassa kohti uusia seikkailuja.

The book found its way to Kerava. I have never read any book by this author. It is time to start soon.
Thank you for the book, kind Bookcrossers!

Took this from the monthly bc-meetup. =)

I like when there's a bit more drama or things happening in my romantic novels, but this was a cute book nonetheless.

Going to take this with me tomorrow's meetup and if no-one take this home then it goes to the recycling shelf in the library nearby.
