In the Northern Hemisphere, Christmas coincides with the coldest, darkest part of the year. So it’s no wonder that many of us love nothing better to curl up with a good book and stay warm. Which is probably how holiday reads – stories set around Christmas, Hanukkah, the winter solstice, yule, and a myriad of other winter festivals – are so endlessly popular.
Which is also why I’ve started yet another compilation of holiday reads, these ones all brand new for 2022.
