Book Flood.

"Hamnet" is brilliant.
I am doing doorstep book swaps with friends from my Book Group. We have been doing this since March and it's great to keep getting a new supply of books.

Yes chocolate was mentioned but I went early and none to be seen?

Brilliant idea kircubbin I will start a new tradition next year. I like the Icelandic idea as well fevertree my two favourite things.

I'm involved in an Icelandic tradition ( Jólabókaflóðið - I think that's what it's called ) through an acquaintance whereby a book and chocolate is exchanged on Christmas Eve,
the idea being to relax with a book and scoff chocolates. I am really looking forward to opening mine today.

Hamnet is on my list of books to read next year, I've heard it's very good.

Like a secret Santa but just with books? Fab idea!

I’m envious ofHamnet, I really want to read it.

I've got Hamnet. I hear it's good.

I love it! We used to do it at my old job. I’m curling up with Susan Cooper’s The Dark is Rising like I do every Christmas Eve, followed by watching the tv adaptation of Terry Pratchett’s Hogfather.
