Let It Snow by Sue Moorcroft is published in paperback by Avon, priced £7.99 (ebook 99p) The darker moments are balanced by humorous takes on the season, with one of the best written by Thompson herself. Sometimes funny and often heart-wrenching, this is not another sickly-sweet festive tale that ends in happily ever after. For the most part, the book avoids cliches and offers true insight. Other contributors include Twiggy, Caitlin Moran, Stanley Tucci, Meryl Streep and Olivia Colman. The memories have been compiled by Emma Thompson, who stars in the film and co-wrote it alongside her husband Greg Wise. RELEASED in conjunction with the upcoming festive film, starring Emilia Clarke, of the same name, Last Christmas is a collection of essays that explores the meaning of the holiday season, with contributions from actors, comedians, people who have been homeless, refugees, charity workers and even a vicar. Last Christmas curated and introduced by Greg Wise and Emma Thompson is published in hardback by Quercus Books, priced £14.99 (ebook £4.99) Becky's Christmas plans, as well as her cupboards full of bags for life and 'bargain' dresses which are a size too small, won't disappoint Kinsella's loyal fans. The success of the Shopaholic books has always been that while Becky's spending habits may seem over the top, she is really just a more extreme version of many of us who enjoy shopping and spend a little more than we should. The surprise appearance of a charismatic ex and a squabble between long-time friends keep the plot flowing. Kinsella, in her ninth Shopaholic novel, pitches the tone just right for a really funny book as Becky hunts for this year's must-have Christmas llama bauble and the perfect present for husband Luke. Christmas Shopaholic by Sophie Kinsella is published in hardback by Bantam Press, priced £20 (ebook £9.99)īECKY Brandon nee Bloomwood is back and this time it is the chance to host her first Christmas which is giving her the excuse to spend money she doesn't have on things she doesn't need.
