Christmas reads 2023?

[Xmasreader]

Any recommendations for Christmas reads please? I’ve just finished The Christmas Appeal by Janice Hallett. I enjoyed it but would like something longer.

You may have noticed there are already a few threads about The Dark is Rising. The Box of Delights and The Children of Greene Knowe are other children's Christmas books that live up to rereading as an adult.

Otherwise:
Christmas Days by Jeanette Winterson are short stories and recipes for the 12 days of Christmas.
Maigret at Christmas by Georges Simenon is a set of three short stories set at Christmas.

I'm planning on reading Doomsday Book by Connie Willis which starts at Christmas but I suspect will not be entirely Christmassy! Another not very Christmassy but set at Christmas book is A Good Man in Africa by William Boyd.

I spotted the other day that Veronica Henry has a new Christmas novel out so I'm planning on reading that

Karen swan- Christmas by candle light. I like all her books anyway but really enjoyed this

@JaninaDuszejko Doomsday is one of my favourites and the Christmas bits have really stuck with me. Enjoy!

Another one that looks good is a reissue this year of Mistletoe Malice by Kathleen Farrell (originally published in 1951) which will appeal if you like the sort of book that features on the 'Slightly dated' threads.

I am (re) reading Christmas Pudding by Nancy Mitford. Excellent upper class 1930s nonsense. Very easy to read and great fun and a real window into a lost world.
