The Twelve Dates of Christmas by Jenny Bayliss

In this week's episode of Books and Boards, Kayla and Rachel cover The Twelve Dates of Christmas by Jenny Bayliss. They get into the Christmas spirit and share why they couldn't get enough of this cozy book! In the next episode, they'll be continuing their Christmas in July celebrations with Murder at the Theatre Royale by Ada Moncrieff.

BOOK CLUB QUESTIONS:

1. Would you consider Kate’s view of dating at the beginning of the book as cynical or just more practical? Did you connect with that view at all, or are you more of a hopeless romantic?
2. If you were in Kate’s position, do you think you would be bold or brave enough to sign up for the 12 Dates of Christmas?
3. If you could choose any of Kate’s dates to go on, which one would it be?
4. Outside of the date that you would have chosen for yourself, which of the dates was most entertaining for you to read?
5. Were you surprised that Kate considered leaving Blexford? Do you think if Matt had not confessed his feelings for her, that she would have gone through with the move?
6. What were your final thoughts about the ending? Do you think someone said something to Matt about Kate leaving and that influenced his decision, or do you think he finally came to his senses on his own?
