WITH LOVE AT CHRISTMAS
MATTHEWS, CAROLE
Skylight Books – Hotlist Fall 2012
Can the imperfect family really have the perfect Christmas? Juliet Joyce adores Christmas. She loves the
presents, the tree, the turkey, the tinsel, everything. Already the festive spirit is upon her, which is just as well as
this Christmas things are starting to get out of hand. Her son Tom is out of work and bringing home a slew of
unsuitable partners; pregnant daughter Chloe and her little boy have moved back in; Juliet's father, Frank, is
getting over a heartbreak of his own and Rita, her eccentric mother, is behaving more erratically each day. And
has the chaos got too much for Juliet's husband Rick? With the big day fast approaching, Juliet hopes that she
can stop everything spiralling out of control, because the only thing she wants is her family all around her and
her home to be filled with love at Christmas.

THE WOMAN WHO DIED A LOT
FFORDE, JASPER
The Bookworld’s leading enforcement officer, Thursday Next, has been forced into a semiretirement following an
assassination attempt, returning home to Swindon and her family to recuperate. But Thursday’s children have
problems that demand she become a mother of invention: Friday’s career struggles in the Chronoguard, where
he is relegated to a might-have-been; Tuesday’s trouble perfecting the Anti-Smote shield, needed in time to
thwart an angry Deity’s promise to wipe Swindon off the face of the earth; and the issue of Thursday’s third child,
Jenny, who doesn’t exist except as a confusing and disturbing memory. With Goliath attempting to replace
Thursday at every opportunity with synthetic Thursdays, and a call from the Bookworld to hunt down
Pagerunners who have jumped into the Realworld, Thursday’s convalescence is going to be anything but restful
as the week ahead promises to be one of the Next family’s oddest.
