Here are the links to a couple of interesting literary advent calendars which you may like to follow this month.
Booktrust have asked various writers to each recommend a short story collection. The Short Story Advent Calendar began yesterday, with Joanna Trollope on Stefan Zweig; today, Miroslav Penkov talks about Nathan Englander.
Kim from Reading Matters is hosting an advent calendar of book bloggers’ recommendations. Simon of Stuck in a Book kicked things off yesterday, recommending Diana Athill’s Stet. My recommendation is featured today; I doubt that anyone who’s followed this blog in the last few months will be surprised at what I chose…
(By the way, if you’ve come here from Kim’s blog and are visiting for the first time: welcome! Have a look around, and I hope you find something of interest.)

Thanks for the link, David, and for taking part. I hope to read the Catton when it comes out in paperback next year.

Thanks, Kim! I think the paperback is out in April; I do hope you enjoy it.
