BOOK TO BE DISCUSSED IN DECEMBER 2025 IS:

"I Wish It Could Be Christmas Every Day" by Milly Johnson

"*** A FESTIVE TREAT FROM THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER ***

'An absolute joy. Like all of Milly's books it's packed with heart and humour and characters you fall in love with. I didn't want it to end' Jane Fallon, bestselling author of Queen Bee

It’s nearly Christmas and it’s snowing, hard. Deep in the Yorkshire Moors nestles a tiny hamlet, with a pub at its heart. As the snow falls, the inn will become an unexpected haven for six people forced to seek shelter there…
Mary has been trying to get her boss Jack to notice her for four years, but he can only see the efficient PA she is at work. Will being holed up with him finally give her the chance she has been waiting for?
Bridge and Luke were meeting for five minutes to set their divorce in motion. But will getting trapped with each other reignite too many fond memories – and love?
Charlie and Robin were on their way to a luxury hotel in Scotland for a very special Christmas. But will the inn give them everything they were hoping to find – and much more besides?
A story of knowing when to hold on and when to let go, of pushing limits and acceptance, of friendship, love, laughter, mince pies and the magic of Christmas.

Gorgeous, warm and full of heartfelt emotion, I Wish it Could be Christmas Every Day is the perfect read this winter!"

BOOK CLUB GUIDELINES:-

1. Book Group is a friendly informal gathering. Different viewpoints are welcome but please do treat others, and their opinions with respect.

2. Books to be discussed will be 21st century novels (published 2000 onwards) which are available for purchase in paperback and kindle form. In most cases, the book should not be too long (i.e. approx 400 pages or less).

3. There is no expectation that participants attend every monthly session of the Book Club. You can sign up for as few or as many of them as you like.
