In this bonus Christmas episode, we discuss Kiss Her Once For Me by Alison Cochrun. Published in November 2022, this queer Christmas romance is full of family, snow and second chances. So pour yourself a mug of hot chocolate (or mulled wine), bite into a cookie and cosy up with us as we share our thoughts on fake dating, Christmas traditions, family dynamics and diversity in books.

In this week's bonus episode we talk about another translated Japanese novel, The Travelling Cat Chronicles by Hiro Arikawa (translated by Philip Gabriel). Join us for our discussion of pets, friendship and extremely moving scenes.
