I know, I know. Surely October is far too early for Christmas movies, books and treats! Well, yes, it probably is, but a lot of the Christmas books are released in October, the advertising for the movies has started and our mind has definitely turned to when we are going to have family events and our travel plans.
So here are the Christmasy things that I did in October
1. Written in the Stars by Helen Rolfe (review)
2. Christmas at the Little Paris Hotel by Rebecca Raisin (review)
3. One Winter at the French Chalet by Mandy Baggot (review)
4. The Village Christmas Party by Sue Roberts (review)
5. A Recipe for Christmas by Jo Thomas (review coming soon)
6. Home for Christmas (season 1)
Home for Christmas was an interesting one. It is a Norwegian TV series that has been dubbed into English. It has the kind of premise that you might see in a made for TV movie but because it is a six-part series we get to see a lot more. The premise is that the main character, Johanne, is a nurse who is getting a lot of pressure from her family to bring home a partner for Christmas. We then get to see her trials and tribulations as she tries dating a number of people in the lead up to the big day. It was a lot of fun, so I will definitely be watching season 2, and season 3 when it comes out. Interestingly, this series has also been remade in both Italy and South Africa!
Here's the trailer
