  • A warm story that speaks to the soul
Format: Kindle
The Lost Bookshop by Evie Woods is an absolute delight — a gentle, heartwarming read that swept me away from the very first page. If you’ve ever dreamed of stumbling across a magical bookshop tucked away from the world, this story will speak straight to your soul. Woods weaves a beautiful tale full of charm, mystery, and quiet hope. The characters are layered and lovable, the writing is lyrical without being heavy, and the atmosphere is just enchanting. There’s a sense of wonder throughout the book — like anything is possible if you just believe in the power of stories. What I especially loved is how the narrative feels both comforting and empowering. It’s a reminder that books can offer us second chances, that the past can whisper its truths to the present, and that sometimes the most unexpected places lead us exactly where we need to be. It’s the perfect read for a cold afternoon, a cozy weekend, when you have strong head cold, or any time you want to fall in love with the magic of books all over again. Highly recommended for anyone who adores fiction that feels like a warm hug! ... show more

  • A very solid and well-deserved 4 stars
Format: Kindle
I thoroughly enjoyed The Lost Bookshop by Evie Woods! A very solid and well-deserved 4 stars for this incredibly unique story. The book uses a split timeline following three different people: Opaline in the 1920s, who is trying to escape her overbearing family and build a life around her love for rare books, and Martha and Henry in the present day, who are both running from their own pasts and searching for a magical, vanishing bookstore in Dublin. The atmosphere is absolutely lovely, blending historical fiction with a gentle touch of magical realism. Opaline’s chapters completely stole the show for me, she is a fierce, unforgettable character, and I found myself racing through the pages just to see what happened to her next. The way the author slowly weaves the modern and historical mysteries together is incredibly satisfying. The only reason it isn’t a flat 5 stars is because the pacing slowed down slightly in the middle, and the present-day chapters didn't grip me quite as much as the 1920s storyline. 🖤 Tropes & Vibes: Dual Timelines (1920s x Present Day) Magical Realism & Hidden Mystery Found Family & Overcoming Trauma Multiple POVs Sweeping Irish Setting 🇮🇪 ... show more

October 1, 2024 I absolutely loved “The Lost Bookshop.” This book reminded me why I love to read in the first place. The story is enchanting and beautifully written, capturing the magic of books and the joy of reading. Summary: “The Lost Bookshop” follows the intertwined lives of three characters: Opaline, Martha, and Henry.

  • Enchanting
Format: Kindle
Enchanting, magical, beautifully written—"The Lost Bookshop" by Evie Woods is an absolute treasure. This book is a love letter to literature, to book lovers, and to the idea that stories have the power to heal, transform, and connect us in ways we never expect. It seamlessly blends historical fiction, contemporary drama, and a touch of magical realism, pulling the reader into a world where books aren’t just objects but lifelines. From the very first page, I was captivated by the way Woods wove together mystery, love, and resilience, making this a novel I’ll return to again and again. The story unfolds across two timelines, adding richness and depth to the narrative. In the 1920s, we meet Opaline, a woman ahead of her time, fighting for independence and freedom in a world that wants to confine her. Her journey is filled with betrayal, heartbreak, and an unwavering love for knowledge, becoming centered around the lost bookshop. In the present day, Martha, a woman trying to rebuild her life after escaping an abusive past, and Henry, a lonely academic, find themselves unraveling the mysteries hidden within the bookshop’s forgotten walls. The dual timeline structure makes for an engaging, layered read, slowly revealing how the past and present intertwine in ways both surprising and deeply moving. The characters are beautifully developed and incredibly relatable. Opaline is bold, passionate, and determined, a character you can’t help but root for as she fights against the limitations placed upon her. Martha’s journey of healing and rediscovering her strength is inspiring, while Henry’s transformation from a man stuck in his own mind to someone willing to embrace love and possibility is equally compelling. Each character, though living in different times, carries a quiet longing—for love, for purpose, for belonging. Their stories remind us that no matter when or where we live, we all search for the same things. One of the most powerful aspects of "The Lost Bookshop" is its exploration of women’s struggles for autonomy, both in history and today. Woods doesn’t shy away from the harsh realities women face when they dare to seek independence, whether it’s societal constraints in the 1920s or the lingering trauma of domestic violence in the present. But despite the darkness woven into the story, it never feels hopeless. At its heart, this book is about second chances, about finding light even in the darkest places, and about the incredible strength of women who refuse to be silenced. And then there’s the bookshop itself—more than just a setting, it feels alive, filled with stories and secrets waiting to be discovered. Woods describes it so vividly that I could almost smell the old pages, feel the weight of forgotten books in my hands. It’s the kind of bookshop every reader dreams of stumbling upon, a place where magic lingers in the air. Throughout the novel, there are countless references to books and authors, making it a delight for anyone who finds comfort in literature. If you’ve ever felt the magic of getting lost in a bookstore or library, this novel will speak to your soul. Beyond its literary magic, the novel explores love in its many forms—romantic love, the love of books, the love between friends, and the love that binds found families together. Love appears in the most unexpected places, reminding us that even when life feels shattered, connection and renewal are still within reach. The relationships in this book aren’t simple, but they’re real, showing that love, in any form, is transformative. I truly adored "The Lost Bookshop". By the time I reached the final pages, I found myself wishing I could read "A Place Called Lost", longing for more of this story, these characters, and the beauty of the bookshop itself. "The Lost Bookshop" is a novel filled with hope, heartbreak, and the kind of magic that stays with you long after you turn the final page. For anyone who believes in the power of stories, who understands the enchantment of books and the safe haven they provide, this is an absolute must-read. I already know I’ll be reading it again—and loving it just as much the second time. ... show more

  • A fantasy of characters addicted to literature.
Format: Paperback
The cover of this book drew me in, which I later realized was paramount to one of the characters. I felt the switching back and forth between characters to be disturbing, and struggled to hold my interest in the first half of the story. Just as I felt comfortable, it became rushed, quickly unveiling what should have evolved earlier. I questioned the addition of some obscure characters who lasted only briefly, and the daring escape seemed quite impossible. However, the literary references were charming, and the final chapters brought the story together. ... show more

  • Magical Realism at its finest
Format: Kindle
A wonderful, well written story full of vibrant characters. There are sections that feel a bit drawn out, but in the end the resolution feels fulfilling, but almost anticlimactic. I wanted the discovery to be bigger. Great quotes and one could only hope that Emily Bronte did write a second book.

  • A cozy lovely book
Format: Paperback
I will admit to getting this book because the cover got me real good. Then the synopsis hooked me and then I started reading! I loved this book! I loved the characters and I loved reading their stories. Even though I hated what was done to Opaline, but her story was a dark truth for a lot of women in the world. Which is probably why it sadden me so darn much! I loved Martha, I loved her because she reminded me of me, I tend to underestimate and underplay my talents and understanding. My school teachers always told me I needed to stop second guessing myself and let go of the fear. It’s because of my eighth grade teacher that I write now. Henry was an adorable foot in mouth man, I loved he’s quirkiness and I adored how he simply fell in love with Martha and saw in her what she didn’t. That’s the type of men we should have in our lives lol. Opaline, being the face of the dark side of women’s history yet still fighting and believing she get her happy ending. I loved her fierceness and her headstrong personality, I think if she had been written in 2025 she would be a great advocate for women♥️ I came because of the book cover, I stayed for the story and now I’m a huge fan of Evie Woods and will be reading the next few books of hers I have. 10/10 📚 I recommend! ... show more
