A brilliant book
I want to thank the publishers and netgalley for this book for a honest review.

Such a lovely, easy read. Perfect for this time of year and it sounds like the ideal job for me too! Luscious imagery and escapism too.

As a fan of camper vans, good wine,food, traveling and of course books, i fell in love with this book. We meet Aria and her travelling companions and go on their journey both physically and emotionally. This book will have you laughing and crying in equal measures. I heartily recommend grabbing yourself a glass of wine and curling up with this delightful book.

As a lover of reading and bookshops and caravanning, when I saw this book, I knew that it was the perfect book for me - and it certainly was. Aria’s Travelling Book Shop is an absolutely amazing read. Although this is a sequel to Rosie's Travelling Tea Shop, you can read this as a standalone novel (although I also highly recommend Rosie's Travelling Tea Shop!)

Aria’s Travelling Book Shop is full of adventure, travels, fun, friendships and love but it also tackles grief and loss, how to live with grief and how to manage and move forward with your own life, remembering the loved one you have lost who will always be with in your heart and thoughts.

I would love to visit Aria’s Travelling Book Shop - it sounds so comfy inside that you could sit for hours and just read and chat to Aria. Aria has the perfect job and lifestyle, one of which many of us bookworms would dream of having! I loved the travelling element throughout the book and the depth given to the places travelled and the festivals they attended. The friendships and relationships are wonderfully written, I felt like I wanted to join them all on their travels.

The ending was perfect - Aria will never forget her husband but she is moving forward, grabbing every opportunity that life brings her, and honouring his memory.

For the perfect read about books, travel, friendships, romance and love choose Aria’s Travelling Book Shop by Rebecca Raisin - I give it five stars!

I loved this wonderfully heartwarming novel by Rebecca Raisin, as a fan of her previous books I was not disappointed by this uplifting, laugh out loud romantic comedy full of friendships, love and adventure and of course lots of fun and laughter along the way. Since Aria Summers husband died leaving her a widow she has sworn off love unless it’s in her romance books she loves to read. Aria is happy with her life on the road in her beloved camper-van-cum-book-shop, along with best friend Rosie and absolutely no romance. However when Aria has an accident after a few too many wines whilst singing karaoke and falls off the stage in to handsome Jonathan‘s arms Aria start to wonder if romance is in her future after all. With her mind still on her beloved husband though Aria tries to forget Jonathan and so decides to set off for the summer to France. No spoilers but Aria finds that her summer trip to remember might also change her life forever.
I loved Aria as the main character and really felt for her confusion between her past love of her life who sadly died and in risking her heart and falling in love again with Jonathan. I was cheering her on to get her happy ever after. This is a wonderfully written novel with some fabulous characters including the amazing camper van/book shop which I could just picture myself living in and running. This is a second chance love story with a difference and I was fully immersed in the storyline and the characters and read it well into the night as I could not put the book down. I definitely recommend this funny, romantic, heartwarming adventure story by Rebecca Raisin.

If you are looking for a light easy read, this book is for you. The story is from the point of view of Aria and each chapter has the name of the location at the top. The characters are likeable and although I wasn’t blown away by the story, I did want to find out what was going to happen. The pace of the story was good and I enjoyed the descriptions of the places. I would recommend this book. Thank you #netgalley

Wow such a funny silly enjoyable book. Laugh out loud book. I love books so this is what attracted me to the book but the antics she gets up to are so funny

Aria's Travelling Book Shop is a sweet love story which captures the wondering, bohemian, romantic spirit of Aria and how beautifully she gives life and love a second chance.

What a lovely book. A story of friends, unconventional lifestyles, European travel and love. A perfect escape for a summer evening, you can almost feel warm days in Europe coming off the page, beautiful descriptions.

Thanks Netgalley, the Publisher and in this case the author. What a lovely read and for me personally would be the perfect job. Loved it.

A lovely book full of warmth that makes you feel good. Well written and I enjoyed the characters too. This is my first book by this author, and I would happily read more by her.

Thank you NetGalley for my complimentary copy in return for my honest review.

Very cute. I think I liked Rosie's story a little better, but I loved seeing the story continue. I will definitely reach for this author again when I want something light, easy, and fun!

Loved this! Such a fun, uplifting story which rolls along at such a great pace! Aria has gone through such a tough time and it is so nice to see how she comes through it and out the other side. Her lifestyle seems great and I really want to have a rummage around all the books in that van.....! What a great way to live - not one that I could see myself doing but I love the romance of it and in France of all places!

I would thoroughly recommend this book if you are looking for a light hearted, fun story - a great read.

Thank you to the publishers and Net Galley for allowing me to review this story.

Being a bit of a veteran of romantic chick lit I thought I'd read through every setting imaginable for the will they / won't they story. But a novel set in a bookshop campervan was a new one on me!

Initially I was cynical that I'd enjoy the story, with nothing I could immediately relate to in the setting or the main characters. But I found that it was pure escapism, with a trip through France (and its culinary delights) thrown in for good measure.

Aria's Travelling Book Shop is a great read, with charming characters and engaging language. I challenge you to not start daydreaming about the 'Van Lifer' lifestyle!

A lovely book with a real feel good theme to it. It comes with emotion in bucket loads alongside great friendship and some good old fashioned will they won't they..

Aria is a very lovable character and a woman after my own heart with her love of reading and an attitude of no book left behind! She travels around in her camper van bookshop with her friend Rosie in one van supplying her with no end of delicious sounding food and Rosie's partner Max in another, being a good guy and supportive friend. I enjoyed the descriptions of their nomadic lifestyle journeying from place to place, exploring and meeting new people. This story definitely made me wish I could go on holiday to France, explore old towns and eat a lot of croissants!

Although Aria gives the impression of being happy-go-lucky and perfectly content with her single lifestyle, she doesn't tell many people that she lost her husband TJ to cancer a few years ago. The author approaches Aria's grief with great sensitivity and the story explores whether she could be ready to find love again with the lovely Jonathan, while trying to come to terms with the past.

I really enjoyed this book, it's the perfect story to read on holiday in the sunshine. I hadn't read the previous book relating to this one, 'Rosie's Travelling Tea Shop' but didn't feel left behind by the story, although I'm sure it would have been better to have read that one first to know Rosie and Max's story as well.

This is such a lovely, heartwarming read, I've given it 4 out of 5 stars.

This book makes a very good read and I enjoyed it so much. Loved the characters and they really came to life. I give this 5 stars , well done Rebecca for a great book.

Loved this book. Great characters, easy read, uplifting, funny, romantic and charming. A really nice story that is the perfect escapist read.

Thank you to Rebecca for letting me take part in this tour. I have read a few of Rebecca's books in the past so I was excited to jump into a new one.

This book follows Van lifer Aria. Aria is a self-confessed bookworm, so much so that she regularly falls asleep with a book stuck to her face. In the last 3 years, she has been through hell. The love of her life died and needed someone to blame his whole family have cut her off. Aria has been travelling ever since and is now on her way to France with some other van lifers. I immediately warmed to Aria. Her passion for books and her love of life is so endearing. I wanted to help her lose that part of her that was sad. I didn't want her to forget her husband but I wanted to bring the light back into her life.

I loved meeting all the other van lifers and travelling through France. Van life is not for everyone but these guys really make it sounds like fun. But don't be fooled, while these guys have a tonne of fun there are also some real deeper issues that are explored. Loss and grief and how losing someone affects your whole life. We also see how you can come out the other side of it stronger and wanting to live life to the fullest.

I love Rebecca's writing. I have been a fan of Rebecca for many years and seeing her grow over her books is a privilege. This one will fill up your whole heart. The characters are realistic, funny, and a bit bruised.

I really enjoyed Aria's story and I can't wait to catch up on my blacklist of Rebecca's books.

I received this book from Netgalley in exchange for an honest, independent review.

"Aria Summers knows what she wants. A life on the road with best friend Rosie and her beloved camper-van-cum-book-shop, and definitely, definitely, no romance. But when Aria finds herself falling – after one too many glasses of wine, from a karaoke stage – into the arms of Jonathan, a part of her comes back to life for the first time in years.

"Since her beloved husband died Aria has sworn off love, unless it’s the kind you can find in the pages of a book. One love of her life is quite enough. And so Aria tries to forget Jonathan and sets off for a summer to remember in France. But could this trip change Aria’s life forever…?"

I loved all of the characters in this book, especially my fellow bibliophile Aria; I warmed to her immediately. I'm jealous of the lifestyle Aria and her friends lead, travelling around in their campervans, and I now want a campervan-cum-bookshop to travel the world in! The lifestyle has clearly been well researched, and I enjoyed learning more about it.

As well as a story of love and romance, it also contains loss and grief but this is neatly interwined and feels realistic; sympathetic but not too heavy or overwhelming to the reader. Although obviously sad at times, the book also feels uplifting, positive and sunny.

When I requested this book from Netgalley, I did not know it was a sequel to another book. However, this did not matter; the book can easily be read as a standalone series.

A great uplifting summer read!
