Tea or Books? #9: buy or borrow and Christmas books: yes or no?
https://www.stuckinabook.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/Tea-or-Books-episode-9.mp3
Welcome to a festive edition of ‘Tea or Books?’ (and another one where I forgot to close my bedroom window when recording) – Rachel (Book Snob) and I discuss buying vs borrowing and whether or not we read specifically Christmas books. The second part was sort of suggested by Samantha or A Musical Feast (in that I intended to do a blog post about Christmas reading, and accidentally did this instead.) We would love to know more of your Christmas book recommendations – please do put them in the comment section.
Rachel and I are very grateful for your support for ‘Tea or Books?’ in 2015, and we’ll be back in 2016 with more – and, as always, would love your suggestions for topics to cover.
Below are the books we chat about (or at least mention) in this episode. Happy Christmas!
