The perfect gift for the holiday season and beyond! Gather ‘round the fire to hear a Christmas legend that has never been told before...until now. Each year a mysterious figure sweeps into town, leaving behind strange gifts in the night. No, not Santa Claus, but his sister… The Christmas Witch. Her story begins many, many years ago when her brother was torn away from her as a child. Raised alone by a witch of the woods, Kristtörn's powers of magic grew, as did her temper. Determined to find her long lost twin, she set out on a perilous journey across oceans to find him. But what she found instead was a deep-seated fear of her powers and a confrontation that would leave the fate of Christmas hanging in the balance. From award-winning producer and actress Aubrey Plaza and her creative partner Dan Murphy comes a holiday story unlike any told before. With all the richness of classic folklore, they’ve woven a tale of bravery, love and magic. Whatever you thought you knew about Christmas…think again.

Book excerpt: This bestselling Christmas picture book by renowned children's author Michael Morpurgo and illustrator Jim Field, is now available in paperback for the first time. Michael Morpurgo frames his powerful message about protecting the environment in this beautiful personal story about a grandpa's wish for his granddaughter to live in a better world. This vital and timely story is paired with Jim Field's emotive illustrations in this gorgeous Christmas picture book, perfect for the whole family to share. Dearest little Mia, This Christmas, instead of a Christmas card - you'll have plenty of those - and instead of a present - you'll have plenty of those too, I am sending you a letter ... Every Christmas Mia and her family read a letter which her Grandpa wrote to her. His letter is a warm, impassioned and heartfelt wish for a better world for Mia to live in. He remembers fondly the times they spent in his garden finding frogs and worms and planting seeds. But Grandpa worries that all the things they love so much are in danger ... His letter is a hopeful plea to Mia (and to all of us) to continue to care for and protect our precious world. Michael Morpurgo is a master storyteller who has written over one hundred books and won countless awards. In 1976 Michael and his wife Clare started the charity Farms For City Children, which aims to relieve the poverty of experience of young children from inner city and urban areas. In 1999 they were awarded the MBE for their work in creating these farms and in 2006 Michael received an OBE. His novel War Horse has been adapted into a hugely successful and critically acclaimed West End play as well as a film adaptation directed by Steven Spielberg. Michael is a tireless champion for children's books and was formerly the Children's Laureate. Jim Field is an award-winning illustrator, character designer and animation director. He is perhaps best known for drawings frogs on logs in the bestselling picture book series Oi Frog! He has illustrated children's books with Kes Grey, Michelle Robinson, Rachel Bright, Jeanne Willis, Steve Cole and comedian David Baddiel. His first picture book Cats Ahoy won the Roald Dahl Funny Prize and he has been nominated for several other awards including the Kate Greenaway Award and the Sainsbury's Children's Book Award. In 2016, The Bookseller listed Jim as the 6th top selling illustrator. Jim grew up in Farborough and now lives in Paris with his wife and daughter.

Book excerpt: All I want for Christmas is YOU ! À cause de sa phobie de l'avion, Loah, qui a promis à sa meilleure amie de venir fêter Noël à New York avec elle, accepte de faire la route en compagnie d'Eliel. Sauf que passer cinquante heures enfermés dans une voiture n'est pas aussi simple qu'il y paraît. En particulier lorsque celui qui partage ce covoiturage est aussi séducteur qu'incroyablement secret. De Salem à New York, le voyage va se révéler aussi périlleux que déjanté et addictif pour la journaliste et le chasseur de trésors. Deux cœurs esseulés peuvent-ils parvenir à se rencontrer grâce à la magie de Noël ? *** – Vaughn ! interpellé-je le gardien de l’immeuble. C’est Loah. Cette saloperie s’est encore bloquée ! – Cette fois, j’en ai marre, râle le quinquagénaire dans un grésillement affreux pour mes tympans. Cinq minutes et je relance le monstre, petite. Ensuite, je passe un coup de fil au propriétaire. Il va m’entendre, cet abruti de… Une flopée d’insultes s’envole puis diminue à mesure que Vaughn semble s’éloigner. Seulement alors je me retourne sur l’inconnu. Ce dernier, la tête penchée sur le côté, me sourit. Encore. En moins arrogant certes, mais avec tout de même une pointe d’insolence. Bon, à sa décharge, j’imagine que faire littéralement bugger une fille en l'ayant tout juste frôlé du regard a de quoi gonfler l’ego. Cela étant dit, ce qui se trouve autour de ses yeux n’est pas mal non plus… Des mèches châtains coiffées en un désordre calculé effleurent son front tandis qu’un léger voile plus foncé couvre sa mâchoire qui se contracte soudain. J’analyse longuement cette dernière. Peut-être trop, d’ailleurs, si j’en crois sa bouche, courbée en un pli sensuel, qui se pince fort. À contrecœur, je m’en détache pour tomber sur son torse caché par un manteau d’un bleu sombre dont l’ourlet arrive à mi-cuisse. Opérant le chemin inverse, mon regard retrouve le sien qui me scrute sous un sourcil arqué. – À présent que nous sommes presque intimes, il serait peut-être temps de passer aux présentations, non ? raille-t-il d’une voix rauque, légèrement ébréchée, qui n’arrange en rien le désordre dans mes cellules nerveuses. – Intimes ? – Vous venez de me détailler encore plus attentivement que le fait ma mère après six mois sans me voir, ricane-t-il. – Désolée, m’excusé-je dans un rire. C’était assez malpoli de ma part, j’avoue. Le coin de ses commissures se relève, rehausse sa pommette gauche. Puis il s’adosse à la paroi métallique, fourre ses poings dans les poches de son jean en écartant les pans de son manteau et, d’un timbre coulant, il rétorque : – Aucun souci. J’ai connu pire qu’une jolie femme me dévorant des yeux. – Et j’ai connu mieux comme phrase de drague. – On vous drague souvent ? – Pardon ? – Vous prétendez connaître mieux. Du coup, je m’intéresse. Soit vous vous faites draguer souvent et, là, votre expérience est assez significative pour en juger. Soit ce n’est pas le cas et donc j’ai le droit de ne pas me fier à votre remarque. J’aimerais juste savoir où me situer… – À la frontière entre l’arrogance et l’inconvenance, voilà où vous vous situez. Un rictus satisfait fend son visage et provoque, par je ne sais quel stratagème, un sourire amusé sur le mien. – J’aime assez. Je devrais tenter la panne d’ascenseur plus souvent. Just for Christmas, d’Izia Soley, premiers chapitres du roman.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ratatouille meets Roald Dahl in the funny and fantastical story of a determined mouse on a mission to procure the world's tastiest cheese. From the author of A Boy Called Christmas–now a Netflix movie starring Kristen Wiig, Maggie Smith and Henry Lawfull! When Nikolas left the only home he had ever known, it was a mouse named Miika who kept him company, and it was Miika who accompanied him on his journey to the Far North, in search of his father. But before the events of A Boy Called Christmas, this little mouse was the hero of his own story. A Mouse Called Miika is an epic adventure story on a miniature scale. It's a tale of mice and men (and more mice). It is about one independent mouse who gets fed up with the other mice, and sets out on a quest of his own to prove that cheese exists, and learns to appreciate other creatures. It is also a tale of great love (of cheese) and great danger. And learning the lesson that, with cheese, as with life, what matters most is not how strongly you smell, but how strong you are on the inside. Funny, cheeky, wise, and packed full of Matt Haig's signature warmth. This is set to become a year-round children's favorite.

When he meets Abner, a friendship builds as Abner tells him the story of The Greatest Christmas Tree, in which Liam discovers who he is and the meaning of his life's purpose. In this richly illustrated tale for all ages, a tiny balsam fir discovers hope as a beautiful star opens his heart, helps him find his identity, and guides him to realize peace.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NOW THE HALLMARK MOVIES & MYSTERIES ORIGINAL TIME FOR ME TO COME HOME FOR CHRISTMAS! The fireplace is lit, the snow is falling, and sleigh bells echo in the distance—it’s Christmas, and it’s time to come home in this charming holiday novel based on Dorothy Shackleford and Blake Shelton’s hit song. Thirty-five-year-old Heath Sawyer has finally made it to the big-time as a country music star. After a year full of the kind of success he could only dream of, it’s December 23, and he’s headlining a sold-out show at Madison Square Garden. It’s only as the lights on the stage go down and the Christmas lights outside come on that Heath realizes there’s just one place he wants to be for the holidays: back home in Okmulgee, Oklahoma. But journeying anywhere on Christmas Eve is never easy, and with flight delays, inclement weather, and the unexpected company of a feisty young woman who’s about to become his traveling companion, Heath will need a Christmas miracle to make his way home in time to open presents. Filled with touching anecdotes inspired by the real holiday memories of Blake Shelton and Dorothy Shackelford, Time for Me to Come Home is a sweet and funny story that celebrates the spirit of Christmas and the true meaning of finding your way back home. “It’s funny how going back can get you back to where you belong. It’s the difference between just a melody and my favorite Christmas song.”

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the heart of the picturesque village of Winterbourne, where snow-covered cottages nestled beside winding cobblestone streets and the air was filled with the scent of evergreen, an enchanting mystery was about to unfold. Winterbourne was a place that seemed frozen in time, a village where tradition and magic were intertwined, and where the spirit of Yuletide shone brighter than the winter stars. At the center of this enchanting village stood a grand and ancient manor, known as Winterbourne Manor, where secrets whispered through the halls and hidden treasures awaited discovery. But it was not just the manor that held secrets; the very air of Winterbourne seemed to hum with mysteries, as if the village itself was a guardian of ancient enigmas. One crisp December morning, as snowflakes danced from the heavens, a curious invitation arrived at the doorsteps of a select few. The message was simple yet enigmatic, an ornate parchment adorned with intricate snowflake patterns that seemed to glisten in the winter light. It bore the seal of Winterbourne Manor and the signature of its enigmatic owner, Lord Edward Winterbourne. The invitation read: You are cordially invited to embark on a quest that will unravel the mysteries of Yuletide and reveal the true magic of Christmas. Gather at Winterbourne Manor on the eve of Christmas Eve, and together, we shall discover the enchantments that lie hidden within the heart of Winterbourne. It was an invitation that could not be ignored, for those who received it felt an irresistible pull-an undeniable sense that they were being called to something extraordinary. Among the chosen few were Emma, a young woman with a deep connection to the natural world; Mr. Thompson, a historian with an insatiable curiosity; Max and Sophie, adventurous siblings who believed in the magic of the season; and Mrs. Anderson, a wise and warm-hearted soul with a connection to the Heart of Winterbourne's Knowledge. As they gathered at Winterbourne Manor on the eve of Christmas Eve, their journey into the heart of Yuletide began. Little did they know that this quest would lead them on an adventure filled with puzzles, traditions, and enchantments that would not only deepen their connection to the village but would also uncover the true spirit of Christmas-a spirit of love, unity, and the enduring magic of the season. Join us as we embark on this extraordinary journey through the pages of The Christmas Teaser: A Holiday Adventure, where the village of Winterbourne and its mysteries come to life, and where the magic of Yuletide waits to be discovered by those with open hearts and a spirit of adventure.

The problem is that the ring was given to her by her now ex-husband, who wants it back and is willing to pay her handsomely for it. In this state of material wealth, Erica has found herself utterly alone, her life empty, her only companions the piles of work sitting on her midtown office desk. It's Christmas Eve, and as she finally decides to call it a day, she walks through the building's lobby, begins a conversation with the doorman, and in one extravagant moment of her own, discovers the truth about the gift of giving.
