Good morning everyone and happy Tuesday. Today on Two For Tuesday I’m featuring two books I’ve kindly been sent by my Instagram Secret Santa!
❤️The Household by Stacey Halls
🩵 Midnight At The Christmas Bookshop
Huge thanks to whoever you are for sending these to me. The Households is a book I’ve been wanting to read for ages and who can resist a Christmas book from Jenny Colgan 🥰 Huge thanks also to the lovely @twistedsistersreads for organising. I’m sending mine today and I’m excited to see if they like it.
I’m off today and it’s looking to be a festive day! I’m going with my mum to a garden centre this morning which always puts you in a festive mood. I’m looking for a few last minute sock presents for the kids which hopefully I’ll find there. We might also go for coffee while we’re there which is always nice or have lunch together which will be nice as we might actually have a full conversation without the kids interrupting 😂 I’m then going out for our bookclub Christmas meal tonight which I’m really looking forward to. They’re such a lovely group and the food sounds amazing so I’m excited to catch up!
What books are you hoping Santa will bring you?
The Household by Stacey Halls
NOT ALL WHO ARE FALLEN WANT TO BE SAVED
London, 1847. In a quiet house in the countryside outside London, the finishing touches are being made to welcome a group of young women. The house and its location are top secret, its residents unknown to one another, but the girls have one thing in common: they are fallen. Offering refuge for prostitutes, petty thieves and the destitute, Urania Cottage is a second chance at life – but how badly do they want it?
Meanwhile, a few miles away in a Piccadilly mansion, millionairess Angela Burdett-Coutts, one of the benefactors of Urania Cottage, makes a discovery that leaves her cold. Her stalker of ten years has been released from prison, and she knows it’s only a matter of time before their nightmarish game resumes once more.
As the women’s worlds collide in ways they could never have expected, they will discover that freedom always comes at a price . . .
The Household is the new novel from the award-winning, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Familiars, The Foundling and Mrs England. Set against Charles Dickens’ home for fallen women and inspired by real figures from history, it is Stacey Halls’ most ambitious and captivating novel yet.
Midnight At The Christmas Bookshop by Jenny Colgan
The festive and feel-good Christmas novel from Sunday Times top ten bestselling author, Jenny Colgan.
Carmen is at a loose end. Her gorgeous bookshop is the filming site of a Christmas movie, she’s been ousted from her sister’s house, and the love of her life has just flown thousands of miles away. It’s threatening to be a very unjolly Christmas indeed!
But when the elderly owner of the shop comes to Carmen with a Christmas wish that threatens to never come true, Carmen knows she must buckle down to get the funds to save not only his trip, but the shop itself.
With her deadline looming, and the help of their neighbours, her nieces and nephew, and a very distractingly cute male nanny, Carmen might just pull her greatest magic trick yet…
