3 Festive Reads For The Final Days Of Christmas // Bookmas Day 11
We’re getting close to the end, and with that I wanted to share just a few festive reads for the final days of Christmas.
For a Bookish Feel – The Christmas Bookshop by Jenny Colgan
If you love stories about second chances, snowy cities, and the magic of books, this one is a must.
When Carmen loses her job after her local department store closes, she feels completely adrift. With few options left, she reluctantly accepts her sister’s offer of a spare room in Edinburgh. It comes with a chance to help out at a small, struggling bookshop just weeks before Christmas.
What Carmen doesn’t realise is how much the shop needs saving… or how much this festive season might change her life. Set against a wintery Edinburgh backdrop, this is a cosy, comforting read full of warmth, books, and quiet hope.
For the Friends-to-Lovers Trope – Lovelight Farms by B.K. Borison
This is the ultimate festive romance if you love fake dating, small towns, and soft, slow-burn feelings.
Stella is desperate to save the Christmas tree farm she’s loved since childhood. So she enters a contest that could bring in much-needed money and attention. There’s just one small problem, she claimed the farm is run by her and her boyfriend… who doesn’t exist.
Cue her best friend Luka, who agrees to play the part. As they pretend to be in love for the sake of the farm, old feelings start to blur the lines between what’s fake and what’s very real. Sweet, festive, and full of heart, this is perfect for curling up with on a cold evening.
For a Story About Family – The Christmas Love Letters by Sue Moorcroft
This one leans more emotional, with a strong focus on family, history, and the ties that shape us.
Maddy lives a quiet life by the Norfolk coast with her daughter and great-aunt, years after her husband disappeared during a winter storm. Life has settled into a gentle routine, until a stranger arrives with a bundle of old love letters that uncover long-buried family secrets.
As Maddy begins to open her heart again, questions from the past resurface, forcing her to confront what she thought she’d left behind. Thoughtful, atmospheric, and quietly romantic, this is a beautiful reminder that Christmas has a way of bringing truths to light.
