It's almost Christmas! What an exciting time of year. Jennie and Pari are feeling festive and decided to share some festive cheer with the new episode of For the Love of Books podcast Bea's Books edition.

Find out about a few festive traditions that you might not have heard of before and of course get some great book recommendations with a very Christmas feel to them.

All the books are available from your local library either on the shelf or to reserve.

Don't forget you can leave us some feedback using #FLBpodcast or #BeasBooks or by emailing librarypodcast@northlan.gov.uk. On podcast platforms that allow ratings, we'd always appreciate a rating too.
