My Festive Reads: Carole Colbert

 

Today I'm delighted to welcome Carole Colbert from Carole's Book Corner, who will be sharing some of the festive reads she's enjoyed recently.

I love a good Christmassy read, curling up by the fire while the cold winds are howling outside and the snow or rain is falling.  They really put me in the festive spirit during the cold winter months.  Here are some recent book reviews that are set around Christmas time ..... they're not all feel-good stories but most of them are.

What are some of your favourite festive reads?
