Merry Christmas! Final recommendation
Mrs Vaughan hopes you have found something good to read over the holidays and have enjoyed the Christmas inspired recommendations.
The final recommendation is “Twas the nightshift before Christmas” by
Adam Kay.
Christmas is coming, the goose is getting fat… but 1.4 million NHS staff are heading off to work. In this perfect present for anyone who has ever set foot in a hospital, Adam Kay delves back into his diaries for a hilarious and sometimes heartbreaking peek behind the blue curtain at Christmastime. It is a love letter to all those who spend their festive season on the front line.
Have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Happy reading!
Tuesday’s Christmas recommendation
Only one more sleep until we stop for the holidays!
Today’s recommendation is in equal parts hilarious, poignant, suspenseful and thrilling, “The Christmas Train” by David Baldacci and is available on NA Libraries Borrow Box.
Disillusioned journalist Tom Langdon must get from Washington to LA in time for Christmas. Forced to take the train across the country
because of a slight ‘misunderstanding’ at airport security, he begins a journey of self-discovery and rude awakenings, mysterious goings-on and thrilling adventures, screwball escapades and holiday magic.
He has no idea that the locomotives pulling him across America will actually take him into the rugged terrain of his own heart, where he will rediscover people’s essential goodness and someone very special he believed he had lost.
Christmas Murder anyone?
Monday’s recommendation from NA Libraries Borrow Box is a wee Christmas murder! Mrs Vaughan loves a good murder mystery and set at Christmas is even better!
“A Cornish Christmas Murder” by Fiona Leitch is a must-read mystery full of heart and humour – perfect for fans of Richard Osman and The Appeal.
It’s three days before Christmas, and detective-turned-chef Jodie
‘Nosey’ Parker is drafted in to cater a charity event run by a notorious millionaire at a 13th-century abbey on Bodmin Moor.
Things get more complicated when a snowstorm descends, stranding them all, and the next morning they find one of the guests has been gruesomely murdered in their bed. Secrets mull in every corner – can Jodie solve the crime before the killer strikes again?
