Book of the month for December: Twas The Nightshift Before Christmas by Adam Kay

Front cover of the book of the month called Twas the Nightshift before Christmas by Adam Kay

Christmas is coming, the goose is getting fat . . . but 1.4 million NHS staff are heading off to work. In this perfect present for anyone who has ever set foot in a hospital, Adam Kay delves back into his diaries for a hilarious, horrifying and sometimes heartbreaking peek behind the blue curtain at Christmastime.

This is a love letter to all those who spend their festive season on the front line, removing babies and baubles from the various places they get stuck, at the most wonderful time of the year.

“An extension of “This is going to hurt” stories, just during Christmas. Written in the same humorous manner as the bestseller. It is quite thin so I ate it up in a day! Couldn’t put it down. “ – Amazon reviewer
