Have you heard of Anne Perry? She does period festive novellas, she does one every year think they are already upto number 15
A Christmas carol by Dickens that has to be included
My so called Christmas carol by Tamsyn Murray (a novella and part of a series but it’s a lovely read on it’s own, quite funny too.)
Hercule Poirot’s Christmas by Agatha Christie
On strike for Christmas by Sheila Roberts, read the book last year and watched the movie last night which was also brilliant, really funny
Jingle all the way (can’t remember the author I pinched it off my sis it’s based on the movie)
Skipping Christmas by John Grisham
Christmas at Tiffany’s if you want a light romantic read and there is a sequel Summer at Tiffany’s by Karen Swan (she also brings one out every year for Christmas they are modern and quite soppy this year’s I THINK is called Christmas lights)
Right now reading The Woolworths girls series by Elaine Everest and they are lovely pre, during and post war, the series carries on and there are a few Christmas books in her series if you like wartime / period Christmas reads
Right now reading a HUGE and I mean huge nearly 800 pages of over 60 festive crime / murder short stories compiled by Otto Penzler called The big book of Christmas mysteries
Katie Flynn is very Catherine Cookson / Josephine Cox in style and she also does a festive period novel every year
Trying to give you a variety of different kinds of Christmas books, haunting, comedy, romance I even have some dog and cat ones if you like those, children’s novels set around Christmas etc or I can just take a pic of my bookcase lol. Yep I am a Christmas nut and I said this could be the length of an essay. ?

Ria Koncsol Agatha Christie and Anne Perry are two of my favorite authors. I’ve been a fan since I was a teenager, a long time ago. (Coincidentally, that was about the time the wheel was invented. Lol.)

I do not read Anne Perry because of her past.

@Lynn wow oh my god I never knew this. No wonder she writes those kind of sinister novels with mystery and murder as its themes. I can’t believe it that’s really shocked me. Given me goosebumps. ?
