Christmas Shopping Ideas
It's such a treat to welcome back Ana Sampson for a dive into ideas for your Jolabokaflod. As happens every time I speak to Ana we set out to think about a few books - the brief today was 5 - and end up side tracked and delighted to talk about more.
Ana's own poetry collection Gods and Monsters is definitely up there for me as a book to buy (or request...)
You can buy your Christmas Books wherever you most enjoy shopping but here's a link to my favourite independent bookshop's storefront on the fabulous bookshop.org platform
