|author=Tammy Cohen
|title=Dying for Christmas
|rating=3.5
|genre=Crime
|summary=The book starts off promisingly enough with an introduction by Jessica, the narrator, who informs us that she is imprisoned by a stranger who is handsome and charming and extremely sadistic. Jessica then recounts the events leading up to and during her incarceration, which takes place over the Christmas period. Her jailer, Dominic, has prepared twelve presents for her, for the Twelve Days of Christmas, and each present-opening episode builds up a sense of dread while providing a deepening understanding of the sinister and bitter mind at work. Genuinely creepy stuff.

|summary=Iām not an overly sentimental person on the whole, I tend to lean towards fanciful tales and humorous romps rather than mushy, squishy books. 'Guess How Much I Love You' has been very much an exception to that for a long time, and I only have to turn the first page to quickly become a sentimental wreck. This 20th anniversary edition is a wonderful addition to the collection, with a very touching little introduction from both the author, Sam McBratney, and illustrator, Anita Jeram.
