Christmas by the Book

When bookshop owner Clara Wren invites the famously cynical Dr Julian Hart to headline her village's Christmas Reading Festival, she doesn't expect him to declare war on happy endings. But in the snow-dusted streets of Ashcombe, even the most hard-hearted academic might discover that love, like fairy lights and secondhand novels, has a habit of tangling itself beautifully where you least expect it.
A story of books, biscuits, and believing in joy, Christmas By the Book is a festive tale about the courage to hope again… and the magic that happens when stories start to come true.
