As Christmas approaches, I find myself searching bookshops for those cosy holiday reads that I want to curl up on the sofa with.

So on my lunch break I popped into Gower Street Waterstones and found a ready-made selection of ‘Festive Reads’.

The table was piled high with titles such as Christmas at Cold Comfort Farm and Mystery in White: A Christmas Crime Story. But what caught my eyes was Christmas at High Rising by Angela Thirkell – having read August Folly over summer I knew I couldn’t resist her witty charms.

But like all book lovers, I couldn’t just buy one Angela Thirkell title, so I came out with The Brandons too.

What titles are you curling up with this Christmas?
