Book Recs for the Small Town Love Interest in a Holiday Movie

Hey there,  Small Town Love Interest in a Holiday Movie , mind if I call you Small Town for short?  I know life isn't easy for you. Good flannel shirts aren't cheap, stubble takes maintenance, and you are no doubt extremely busy with your successful coffee shop/bakery and the single-fathering/reading to sick children/rescuing kittens you do on the side. Plus all that wood-chopping and cookie-making really eats into your Netflix time. You didn't ask for a feisty blonde/redhead to come from the city and bring back memories of your teenage heartbreak and/or put you out of business.  You probably wanted to watch TV this Christmas, not pretend to be engaged to a stranger for reasons that, let's face it, even you aren't clear about.   When are you going to get some time to yourself, Small Town ? After the big happy ending? Whilst navigating a new relationship you've committed to far too early? Will you both be the same person once the Christmas Tree comes down and t...

FantasticLand is... Kinda Fantastic

It's not often I start a book that I know absolutely nothing about. I hadn't heard any buzz, it didn't appear on any book lists and I hadn't seen a single copy in a bookshop. The only thing it had going for it was that it appeared in the Audible Plus catalogue under 'horror' at the exact moment I was looking for a free horror audiobook. Mike Bockoven's FantasticLand is the story of a theme park roughly the same size as Disney World . Like Disney, it's a family institution with distinct themed 'lands' ( Pirate Cove, Fairy Prairie, Circus World , etc). The story begins with a record-breaking hurricane that takes out several states. Things begin well, with FantasticLand almost over-prepared . The park is quickly evacuated, leaving only three-hundred volunteers to stay in the bunkers and secure the park in the aftermath - for a significant pay bonus.  After poor management and a blackout leads to the first (seemingly) accidental fatalities, the now s...

Bear Town: the Swedish Broadchurch

Bear Town (by Fredrik Backman) shouldn't appeal to me.  In fact, if I'd actually read the plot description before using my Audible credit on it, I wouldn't have bothered. But I was looking for a wintry, Scandi book for my December reading challenge and this was a title I'd seen several times, so I took a punt.  It's slow. It's got a huge cast. It's about ice-hockey.  I effing LOVED it.  Bear Town, a small town in Northern Sweden, is dying. 'If you reach Bear Town, you've gone too far' pretty much sums the place up. The factory jobs are dissapearing, shops are closing, and house prices are nosediving.  But their junior (seventeen-year-old) ice-hockey team has a real chance. They are about to play a game that could turn them into the best team in the country. Kevin, their star player, has a future so bright that a professional ice-hockey career is almost certain. If they win this game, they'll become an ice-hockey destination. Money will po...
