Looking For Christmas Novel

[Ediz]

Hi friends,

 

I'm looking for a novel about christmas. I have never read a book about christmas in English Literature so far. I don't want children's books, I had read popular of them when I was child. Can anyone recommend a christmas novel for me to read? Thanks so much!

 

P.S:

A Christmas Carol is a great one!

 

If you are looking for something funny, you could try The Stupidest Angel by Christopher Moore.

OMG!! Lol! I'm going to change it now.

 

Thanks both of you so much! "A Christmas Carol" is pleasing to the ear. I'm looking forward to read it. Thanks again!!

Hey don't worry about it my friend, I was only kidding. Welcome to the forum by the way, I'm sure you'll love it here.

Definitely Christmas Carol That's a great book!

If you want a very English book and something comic, a bit like P G Wodehouse, I would recommend Jane Gordon-Cumming's A PROPER FAMILY CHRISTMAS. (She's Katie Fforde's sister.) It has a lovely Christmassy cover too.

I agree Linda - my review for that one is here.

That looks like my kind of book

Of course, I know you were only kidding. But there are thousands of avatars at internet. (: I wanted to change it, it is not important for me.

 

Thank you for your warm welcome. I already love there. Thanks again Ben!

 

And Stephanie, Linda, Michelle. Thanks so much for your help.

Lanterns Across The Snow by Susan Hill is a great little read for Christmas.

[Stephanie2008]

The Gift by Cecelia Ahern is set at Christmas. That's on my TBR list or the next couple of weeks

"A Child's Christmas in Wales" by Dylan Thomas is part of my Christmas tradition every year.

Welcome to the Forum!

 

I totally agree with Stephanie and Ben......it's a fantastic book

[SueK]

Have you read any of these? Are they scary?

 

Hi, no I haven't read any of them but I'm planning to buy one or two for Christmas reading. I have read Anne Perry's WW1 books and I think they are beautifully written. She is a very prolific writer.
