Dear Book Lover,

As the weather gets colder, gathering indoors with good friends is an increasingly attractive proposition - and Christmas is just around the corner. It is time to get ready to celebrate! Making crafts for gifts and decorations is a brilliant way to spend time with family, and there is no better time of year to splurge in the kitchen. We have chosen some of the best crafting and cooking books, and have found some really delightful collectable cookbooks.

Also this month, we pay a virtual visit to Australia, share the results of our scariest character in literature poll and present an exclusive interview with 2006 Booker Prize winner, Kiran Desai.

Happy Reading!
