Day 10: Festive. Well this is my library looking very festive. The lights are so bright I can sit in my little cosy spot and read without a main light on.

I‘m dipping into this one now; my first festive read of the season.

I bought it last Christmas and yet I‘m reading it THIS year. I always seem to do this... 🤔

Mehso-so

Three Christmas stories by Kate Atkinson. One is set during a Nativity play, the second is set at a birthday celebration at a restaurant right before Christmas and the third is a guy celebrating alone. The stories were ok, but nothing more than that. The ending of the second story surprised me.

60 points + participation

Loved the three short stories from Kate Atkinson in this #Festive book offering, especially the third, an homage to It‘s A Wonderful Life

Managed not to leave this on the car tonight! 3 short stories from Kate Atkinson:
- a mother struggling to enjoy a nativity;
- a wife makes a discovery just before Christmas;
- and a middle-aged man decides there is a reason to carry on, in an homage to It‘s A Wonderful Life.

StayCurious Actually, we're counting each story individually - sooooo +61! 5y
TheEllieMo @StayCurious really?! I‘d best start reading some of my other Christmas story collections! 5y

I am an idiot. I have an hour to spare and was planning on cracking on with this seasonal #HolidayBook, but after I‘d sat down with my cup of coffee, I realised my book is still in the car 🙄 Tomorrow, then...

So, I‘ve decided to give myself a little photo challenge this month. I‘ll post a Christmas/holiday related book each day leading up to Christmas as a sort of #BookAdventCalendar. Some will be old favourites and others will be ones I hope to get to this month

Play along with me if you like or just add a few books as you can!

Day 1: This is a newly released little book with all author proceeds going to charity. I love Kate Atkinson!

BookNAround Ooo. Let me plunge into my stacks and see what I can find to play along. 5y
JamieArc I don‘t tend to love Atkinson‘s books, but I‘m curious about her short stories - and this book is beautiful! Thanks for sharing! 5y
