Welcome back to Got Books, the podcast where we talk to booksellers from all around the world. And welcome to this short Christmas series, meant as a mini-Advent Calendar to get you in the holiday spirit. From Dec 3rd to Dec 17th, we'll be publishing an episode every Monday and Friday - that's 5 Christmas episodes for you, in which we're bringing back some of the booksellers that we know and love from past episodes, so they can tell us how they're preparing their bookshops for Christmas, what books to get for the special people in our lives, and what they like or..don't like at all about the holiday season.

Today's conversation brings you back two booksellers who I'm sure you remember from a not so distant episode - Julia König and David Bloomfield are two of the charming and very knowledgeable booksellers that will welcome you to Golden Hare. This beautiful independent bookshop in Edinburgh's Stockbridge covers all genres from cookery to travel, kid's picture books to science fiction. And around Christmas time it's the perfect place to go to, as they they also have a fireplace, a Christmas tree and handwritten book recommendations from their staff. Julia and David were my guests on the second episode of Season 2 and are back today for a much more Christmasy conversation.
