Happy Holidays
by Seiko Karakama on December 2nd, 2024As the nights draw in and the temperature drops, there’s nothing better than getting cozy with a great book. These are our team’s favourites to help get you started on your holiday book pile.
What about you? What do you think should be on our seasonal shelf? Let us know at bookclub@harveymckinnon.com. We can’t wait to hear your favourites — and we’ll publish the complete list on the front page of our website.
In the meantime, grab your knitted blanket, your favourite winter bevvy and snack, and enjoy our picks.
And, as always, thank you for all you do to make our days — and the world — a better place.
