The Christmas Book Club

I know what some of you are thinking. God no not the C word!!! It's only November!!

Yes it is November, 9th November to be exact. Leaving us just 46 sleeps away from Christmas Day!

Now that Halloween and Bonfire Night are officially out of the way, not that they ever stopped me, Christmas cheer and festivities can begin!

So I thought what better way to get us feeling festive than to start an online Christmas Book club!!

I have rummaged through amazon's top picks and selected some that stood out to me like Rudolphs shiny red nose!

They are:

Christmas at Lilac Cottage - Holly Martin

The Christmas Party - Carole Matthews

Make a Christmas Wish- Julia Williams

Dream a Little Christmas Dream - Giovanna Fletcher

All of these books can be found on Amazon, Giovanna Fletcher's is only available in Kindle format- don't worry if you don't have a kindle though because you can download the kindle app onto your phone, tablet or computer!

To get the snowball rolling is The Christmas Party by Carole Matthews! This is the book that ignited the Christmas book club idea when I saw it sitting amongst all the other second hand books at my local Tesco!!

Blurb:

Louise Young is a devoted single mother whose only

priority is providing for her daughter, Mia. Louise has a good

job in a huge international corporation and she's grateful for it.

The only problem is her boss who can't keep his hands to himself, but 

Louise can handle him. What she really doesn't have time for is romance - until

she meets the company's rising star, Josh Wallace.

Louise usually says no to evenings out, but she's decided to let her hair 

down tonight. It's the office Christmas party, she has a pretty dress to wear and she's 

looking forward to some champagne and fun. She's completely unaware that

others around her are too busy playing dangerous games to enjoy the party -

until she's pulled into those games herself.

Now, I will be honest, I have already started this book and it's completely different to what I thought it would be, but in a good way. There is more to the story that just a simple office fling and a hands on boss, the end of each chapter literally leaves you wanting more... and more!
