Our December book is a historical fiction pick: Last Christmas in Paris by Heather Gaynor and Heather Webb. I love books written in atypical formats and this one is composed of letters and telegrams. We will discuss at our annual Christmas gathering at Denise's house. Potluck, gift exchange, and book synopsis below!

Potluck: Denise will be making a big pot of chili as the main course! Please bring your choice of chili topping, side, or dessert to share. You can add what you'll be bringing in the comments so we can coordinate.

Gift Exchange: If you'd like to participate, please bring a book from your own bookshelf that you've enjoyed and would like to pass on (Not one we've already read for book club!). Wrap the book and write the genre on the outside. We will play a game to exchange the books and everyone will get to go home with a new-to-you read!

Last Christmas in Paris Synopsis, courtesy of Goodreads:

"August 1914. England is at war. As Evie Elliott watches her brother, Will, and his best friend, Thomas Harding, depart for the front, she believes—as everyone does—that it will be over by Christmas, when the trio plan to celebrate the holiday among the romantic cafes of Paris.

But as history tells us, it all happened so differently…

Evie and Thomas experience a very different war. Frustrated by life as a privileged young lady, Evie longs to play a greater part in the conflict—but how?—and as Thomas struggles with the unimaginable realities of war he also faces personal battles back home where War Office regulations on press reporting cause trouble at his father’s newspaper business. Through their letters, Evie and Thomas share their greatest hopes and fears—and grow ever fonder from afar. Can love flourish amid the horror of the First World War, or will fate intervene?

Christmas 1968. With failing health, Thomas returns to Paris—a cherished packet of letters in hand—determined to lay to rest the ghosts of his past. But one final letter is waiting for him…"
