Welcome to week two of our reading and eating Advent. We ran on a little this week so have had to split the entries over two ‘episodes’ part 2 is coming hot on the heels of this one!

The idea behind this Advent was to carve out a little stillness, a pocket of time every day this month to read and eat something festive and create our own ‘doorway into Christmas’ (as Jeanette Winterson says.

Just putting this collection together has helped both of us get into the festive spirit and we hope reading it does the same for you. And please, if you have any feedback, ideas for books we’ve missed or anything at all to share, comment below! We’d love to hear from you.
