About this listen
“As deliciously heartwarming as a pumpkin spice latte on a cold winter’s night. I adored it!” - SHARI LOW
The BRAND-NEW, brilliantly funny novel from #1 bestseller Fiona Gibson, author of The Mum Who Ran Away from Everything, perfect for fans of Sophie Kinsella and Jill Mansell.
Shelley has had enough. She’s reached her limit with the festive preparation that has always fallen to her and, five days before Christmas, she’s booked a mini break… without her family. Up until Christmas Eve, Shelley and her bestfriends Pearl and Lena will be sipping prosecco in the Highlands, while her teenage kids wrap bacon around 100 chipolatas and her husband braves the supermarket for once.
It’s exactly what she needs… until they’re snowed in. Facing the prospect of Christmas 500 miles from home, each of the friends is forced to confront her real reasons for needing to escape: the fiance with the obnoxious family; the son’s new girlfriend who is taking over their home; the family who take their mother for granted all year round…
Will they make it home before Christmas day? And if they do, can they really go back to their old lives?
This Christmas, forget Elf on the Shelf and get ready for Mums on the Run in the hilarious and heartwarming new novel from Fiona Gibson.

Mirren’s beloved great-aunt Violet is seriously ill. Her one Christmas wish is to be reunited with a long-lost hand-illustrated book from her childhood, a challenge Mirren gladly accepts to give Violet some much-needed festive cheer. With no sign of the cherished volume online, Mirren falls into the fascinating world of rare books. From London to snowy Hay-on-Wye and Edinburgh’s cobbled streets, she chases leads from bookshop to bookshop—and bumps into mysterious, charming Theo, who, unbeknownst to her, is searching for the same book for reasons of his own…

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 728
Beverly Underwood and her arch enemy, Lula Dean, live in the tiny town of Troy, Georgia, where they were born and raised. Now Beverly is on the school board, and Lula has become a local celebrity by embarking on mission to rid the public libraries of all inappropriate books—none of which she’s actually read. To replace the “pornographic” books she’s challenged at the local public library, Lula starts her own lending library in front of her home: a cute wooden hutch with glass doors and neat rows of the worthy literature that she’s sure the town’s readers need.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 633
Columnist Anna Appleby has left her love life behind after a painful divorce. Who needs a man when she has two kids, a cat, and uncontested control of the TV remote? Besides, she’d rather be single than subject herself to the hell of online dating. But her office rival is vying for her column, and no column means no stable source of income. In a desperate attempt to keep her job, Anna finds herself pitching a unique angle: seven dates, all found offline, chosen by her children.
