Just finished 31 Bond Street by Ellen Horan which I quite enjoyed. I’m now reading Lost for Words by Stephanie Butland, a contemporary story, a book about books and it’s set in York.

I've just started a non-fiction book - "Nigel-My Family and Other Dogs" by Monty Don, who's a well known gardener in the UK, but is now best known for his golden retriever, Nigel, who gets more fan mail and presents than he does.

Re: What are you reading December 2017?
I’ve nearly finished A Time to Change by Callie Langridge, a time travel tale. The story takes place during the week before Christmas taking in Christmas Day and it’s set in 2013 and 1913. I’m enjoying it very much.
