Books To Get You In The Festive Mood!

It's beginning to feel a lot like Christmas and there's no better way to get into the festive mood (and escape the pre-Christmas madness) than to settle down with your favourite tipple and read a Christmas book!

Last year I shared the Christmas releases of an independent, award winning publisher, Choc Lit. Interested to see what they were publishing this year, I did a little research and am now pleased to list them below for you.

Bluebell's Christmas Magic by Marie Laval

Stefan resents Cassie’s interference and is definitely not looking for Christmas cheer. But Cassie prides herself on sparkling surfaces – so, can she bring some festive sparkle to Stefan’s life too?
