It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas……..well Christmas reading anyway. Though I have purchased the odd present or two! Enough already I hear you say.
I have had rather an up and down week, the NHS have not let my family down but the worry continues. Reading, swimming and crafts have been my crutch as has the odd chocolate bar.
So what is there to tell you about – what might you have missed?
Trisha Ashley – The Christmas Invitation – OUT NOW
It would not be Christmas without a Christmas read from Trisha Ashley, whether it be old or new – and for this year it is her latest novel and she invites us all to Christmas.
Tilly Tennant – The Garden on Sparrow Street – OUT NOW
This is an enchanting tale of loss, grief and moving forward and whilst Christmas is clearly featured the book is very much about the characters, their relationships and is not full on Christmas as some books can be at this time of year.
Katie Ginger – Snowflakes at Mistletoe Cottage OUT NOW
Esme loves everything about London, her boyfriend, her friends, her job on a top tv cooking programme and the fact she can experience so much about Christmas immediately from her front door.
This is a great festive read and one for all food fans as well. Mouthwatering descriptions of food and the fun of amaetuer recordings of making lots of funny moments.
And you have all of this to look forward to:
Holly Martin’s novels are a joy to read. So heartwarming and like receiving a great big hug all through the power of a few words on paper.
A Five Sparkly Christmas Star read!
The Gift of Happiness is published on 25 October – my full review will be on this blog around that date.
Daisy did not have a happy childhood and when the chance to escape came, she got a job in Buchanans a jewellery shop and her love for the romance of jewellery and her secret passion for making it as well blossomed.
This was a lovely story and the plot pulled you right in…….
A feel good festive read that will keep you warm on the coldest of nights.
The Little Shop on Silver Linings Street is published on 16 October – not long to go now!
This is the final book in the this trilogy set in Bluebell Castle. I have previously described the novels as Antiques Roadshow meets Downton Abbey, with added Chelsea Flower Show and now we are going to add in a Winter Wonderland.
Christmas brings its own magic and can Jess really see herself with Tristan if she could perhaps trust not just him but her own heart?
Starlight over Bluebell Castle is published on 4 November.
I think that is enough for the moment – there is more Christmas Reading lurking around my kindle and my bedside table but I think this is the first Christmas Selection Box you should reach for this year!
I am currently slightly Christmassed out – talking about it for work doesn’t help so I have reverted back to an Agatha Christie before I embark on anymore festive fiction.
*I have received these books in exchange for an honest review and I receive nothing in payment for recommendation more than once on this blog or on any other social media channel I use. I simply pass on the books that have given me joy.
