I received an eARC from Netgalley for an honest review

I could not put this book down! 
After the death of her husband Aria joins a group of like minded travellers and sells books from her van while travelling along with her best friend Rosie and Rosie's boyfriend Max. Aria made a promise to her husband that she would never love anyone else and so she has sworn off relationships and spends her time with her friends and with her nose in a book. Then she meets Jonathon who is now popping up when she least expects it and although drawn to Jonathon she wants to keep her promise to her husband and so keeps him at a distance. 
After the arrival of her husbands diary Aria starts to think a bit differently and with a few pushes from her friend Rosie Aria begins to look at her future differently
I read this book in one sitting. I cried as Aria worked through her grief and laughed out loud with the antics of Rosie. This is a beautiful story about love, grief, friendship and new opportunities. I look forward to reading more from this author

Aria's Travelling Book Shop is such a delight! I need a physical copy ASAP to annotate and highlight. It is so good. I love an unapologetically sweet, charming book. I was a little nervous at first because this is a new to me author but I really enjoyed it. Aria is a widow. She lost her husband TJ to cancer about three years ago and has been living the van life-LOVE THAT- I'm obsessed with van lifers on Youtube. She felt very much like a 2020 woman. Out of her van she has been selling books-travel and books, what else could one want? She runs into Jonathon, who awakens these feelings she thought died along with TJ and it's just so cute. TJ's mom sends her his diaries and it becomes a bit of a drain on her to read through his entries but of course there are messages she has to come and accept. Such a wonderful read, I absolutely loved the writing. I loved the character of Aria. She's a new favorite heroine for me for sure!

I started this book just over a week ago, which is a long time for mw to be reading the same book. I found the story very middle of the road for me. Nothing much happened and I found the main character Aria quite miserable and annoying.
Her husband died 3 years ago and she is struggling to come to terms with this. She feels extremely lonely, guilty and confused as she starts to have thoughts of a new man. Her friend Rosie seems a great character but I can't really write anymore about the story as for me there was not much happening. They travel across France in a group selling their items they make or obtain. Nice enough story but not enough depth for me unfortunately. I don't like to leave a negative review but I like to leave an honest review. Thank you to netgalley and the author and publishers for the opportunity to read this ARC for my honest review

Three years after losing her husband Aria is trying to decide whether she can move on.  As part of a group of van owners who travel to festivals and fetes, selling their goods, Aria travels in a van that doubles as a book shop. The book loving part of the story stood out, especially when she meets an author, Jonathan.  Otherwise, I found the book a bit slow at times.  Thanks to Netgalley for the ARC.

This is a super cute book. 4/5 stars! The plot was easy to read and had a very nice flow to it! Can’t wait to read another one!

This was my first introduction to Aria and Rosie.  I didn't read the previous book, Rosie's Traveling Tea Shop, but the author developed the story in a way that readers don't have to read the first book to enjoy this one. 
If you’re looking for a lighthearted, heartfelt, quick read then this is perfect and something I would recommend.

The main character, Aria, is dealing with grief and loss after her husbands death. She’s not quite sure how to continue on living and so she takes a long trip. Here she discovers herself again, learns what makes her happy, and even meets someone she might allow herself to love. 

Like I said, this was a very sweet, fun read and I really recommend it!

We were introduced to the heroine of this book, Aria, in last year’s delightful chick lit/romance/women’s fiction, Rosie’s Traveling Tea Shop. Aria was an experienced Van-Lifer who quickly took Rosie under her wing and got her up to speed on the traveling van lifestyle. In that book there were hints of how the loss of her beloved husband caused Aria to turn her back on love and conclude that she would remain without a partner for the rest of her life. In Aria’s Traveling Book Shop, I was hoping to see Aria move on from her grief and finally start living again. She eventually does, but first she has to sort through a lot of unresolved grief as well as guilt over moving on, even though her husband strongly encouraged her to do so before he died. This lends the book a rather melancholy tone although it is lightened somewhat by descriptions of yummy French food and the beautiful regions of Normandy, Bordeaux, and the French Riviera that Aria, and Rosie visit on their van circuit through France. 

The main story follows Aria and her tentative steps forward to find a new love, but there is also a big surprise in store for Rosie and Max. I think the biggest flaw with this book was that Aria’s story just seemed to drag with no real movement whereas the subplot featuring Rosie and Max was the more interesting and fast moving part of the book. I’m not sure if that’s because Rosie and Max were just inherently more interesting. I  loved that Aria was such a bookworm (and a romance lover), but it seemed like that and her grief were her only defining characteristics. As for her love interest, Jonathan, we hardly saw him at all and it didn’t seem like there was any real romance between them, just a few chance encounters. Overall, this was an enjoyable although not compelling read.

Die Ankündigung, dass Rebecca Raisin in die Welt der „Nomaden“ zurückkehrt und einen Roman über Aria schreibt, hat mich riesig gefreut und gleichzeitig hatte ich Angst, das Buch würde mich enttäuschen. „ Rosie’s traveling Tea Shop“ war so perfekt, in meiner Vorstellung konnte der nächste Teil der Reihe dieses Niveau niemals halten. Weit gefehlt: „Aria’s traveling Book Shop“ hat meine Erwartungen übertroffen. Zum Einen war es natürlich toll, in diese wunderbare Clique zurückzukehren, die Reise geht dieses Mal nach Südfrankreich- ein sinnliches Erlebnis. 
Zum Anderen ist Aria ein toller Charakter:
„My willpower is also fairly weak, and I’ll follow anyone anywhere if there’s fun to be had, money be damned.“
Sie liebt Bücher über alles, geniesst das Leben auf den Straßen, Festen, Festivals mit ihren Freunden und hat dabei ein dunkles Geheimnis. Der Tod ihres Mannes liegt wie düsterer Schatten über ihr. Sie hat der Liebe abgeschworen- zumindest im richtigen Leben, die Liebesromane sind ihre Heimat:
„Books are so safe compared to the real world.“
Aber natürlich sind Rebecca Raisins Heldinnen keine Opfer- sie stellen sich den Herausforderungen mutig und voller Energie. Es war ein Vergnügen, Aria auf ihrer Reise zu begleiten.
Ein großartiges Buch über die Magie von Liebesromanen, Autoren und natürlich den leidenschaftlichen Lesern.

A stunning read. I’m a true fan of reading and a advocate to the young. This book was mesmerising, a book that I loved from start to finish.
A book I really didn’t want to end. 

Looking forward to more.

This is my first introduction to Aria and Rosie.  I didn't read Rosie's Traveling Tea Shop, but Rebecca Raisin developed the story so that readers don't have to read Book 1 to enjoy this book. If you’re looking for a lighthearted, heartfelt, pure escapism read then this is perfect and something I would recommend. 

I love a book that takes me to a holiday and this time I got to travel to historic streets of Rouen, visit a chateau, and traipse around Nice and St.Tropez with Aria, Rosie, and her boyfriend, 

This is a story about love, loss, second opportunities, and friendships. Aria is a widow and still grieving the loss of her husband, which doesn't leave any room for new romances. On this van adventure, Aria learns to live again, to forgive and to move on with the help of her friends and someone unexpected, Jonathan. The characters are well crafted and the dialog is realistic. 

This is a lovely rom-com story and  right in time for summer holidays. I am going seek out Rosie's Traveling Tea Shop!

Thank you NetGalley for an e-ARC.

This was a good book. I loved the storyline and got absolutely lost in Arias travels in her cute little bookshop. It was heart wrenching to read the parts from TJ's diary that I felt like tearing up myself. I do wish the plot was a bit more focused on his diary though, there's was alot of sections of the book that went in a little too long. 
Overall a lovely book about grief, love and friendship.

A travelling bookshop on wheels what is not to love. 
Aria goes travelling to France after losing her husband TJ, with her friend Rosie and Max who also own a travelling tea shop.

I found this book a little hard to get into maybe because I haven't read the first in the series, Once I was in I don't think that mattered too much. 

It was a light enjoyable read and had humourous and emotional parts.

It was nice to escape to France during these hard times.

Fantastic read. Just a lovely book to read. It was very well written. Great plot. How wonderful would it have been to be traveling in your very own book shop? Especially to France. Idyllic. Great book for reading in lockdown when you don’t have the concentration to read anything to deep.

Really liked this book. I love books about bookstores and romance. It gave me the feels and enjoyed it very much

I really struggled with this one unfortunately. I found it impossible to relate to the characters and therefore didn’t find myself enjoying it very much

What can I say? This book is great! I love the cover, it drew me in. I love the name of the book! I mean anyone who loves reading books would love a travelling bookshop. The title made me want to read it alone. The story of the main character is so real. Learning to be at peace from losing a loved one and moving on. I would read this book again and I hope there will be more about aria to come

Aria is a recently widowed romance book lover, who has sworn off falling in love ever again. With her fellow “van lifers” she travels around in her bookshop can. Of course she meets a man who challenges her decision, and while she works through the grieving process her feelings begin to change for him.

I wanted to love this book. There are so many things about it I love - a good romance, travel, and books! Unfortunately for me it just fell flat. 

I enjoyed Aria and the supporting characters but felt like I didn’t know much about them beyond the surface. Particularly with the love interest, I was just not invested at all. It felt like I jumped into a relationship part way through or something. Why did she have interest in him? I felt like the only thing we got to know about him was that he’s an author. I did enjoy Aria and Rosie’s friendship. 

I was so thrilled this book had a travel theme to it but really wish that was developed more too. It was more just in passing and I felt it didn’t really matter where they were, it could be anywhere. 

I did enjoy how this book explores and explained the grieving process and while repetitive a bit, thought it was well told and interesting. I could have done the whole book being more in depth on that and ditch the “romance” I thought was lacking anyway.

I was excited to get a copy of this book because of the fun cover and curious title. What book lover can resist a book about a book shop, especially a traveling one?!
Three years ago, Aria lost her husband, TJ, to cancer. His last wish was to escape with her for the time he had left in a camper van and travel the lake district in England. After he's gone, Aria continues her nomadic lifestyle with a group self-dubbed "van lifers", selling books while traveling with her best friend Rosie in her tea shop van. Aria promised TJ she would never love anyone else,  but when she meets Jonathan,  a popular author,  she must decide whether to keep that promise or find happiness like TJ told her to.
This is a little like P.S. I Love You, only with books and a van. It's fun and adventurous,  but also sweet and a little sad. And I didn't realize there was another book based on Rosie and her tea shop van, so I'll be snatching that one up soon.
I received a complimentary copy of this book through Netgalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

Aria is completely happy with her life. She travels the countryside with her book van, Rosie, making friends, visiting interesting places – she has no need of a man in her life. Part of her still misses her late husband, so when she has too much wine one night and wakes up with Jonathan the next day, she’s sure it’s a one off. Still, as Aria and Rosie continue on their merry way, Aria can’t forget Jonathan. Is it time to open her heart to something other than just her books? I loved this story and liked Aria’s independence. She might have ended up wanting a man but she never needed one

Rebecca has been and done it again! Fabulous read, finished in 2 days and links up to her previous book but can also be read standalone. Thankyou once again for letting me read ♥️
