Over the festive season we love nothing more than curling up with a good book and a box of mince pie or two. And this year there are some VERY good books indeed. So we asked all the publishers we work with to nominate one of their favourite reads to enjoy this Christmas. And here they all are in one handy list.
Better still - one lucky gransnetter can win the ENTIRE lot. Yup - that's every book featured on the page. Worth more than £500. In our book (no pun intended) that's a pretty fine haul at any time of year - and absolutely perfect for Christmas.
We just want to know where you like reading. Your answers will be put into the very large hat and a draw (made at random) will take place at midday on Weds 10 December - so the winner will receive their prize in plenty of time for the big day. All the details on the page
I read a couple of books per week whilst soaking in the bath. It's my escape and would never purchase an electronic reading device becuase you can't beat a good old fashion book. I would like to add, that reading not only provides enjoyment but it can also improve your English. If there are words I don't understand, I will google it afterwards and by doing this I learn a lot more. Let's campaign for the population to read more
I have a special corner of the couch which the kids know is mine, it's where I curl up with a cuppa and a good book, normally with the cat on top of me.
Love reading in the garden when the weather allows. In my home - I can read anywhere but do find it difficult if my husband has the TV on to concentrate so usually migrate to the bedroom
I like sitting in the conservatory in winter with the fire on and the rain and wind beating against the glass. This way I can get lost in my book and escape for a couple of hours.
I love reading anywhere but especially in bed. All tucked up nice and cosey on a cold winters night all snuggly, with a hot drink and a lovely book. It helps me drift off into another world and into a deep sleep.
I love being afloat - whether that is at sea or on the river or even on a lili! Seriously, I love reading when I can feel the water moving gently beneath me. So a lazy day on the river is perfect. (The bath really does not work for me)
I like to read either on the sofa or in bed-although I may grab a few lines on the toilet but don't tell anyone.
Wherever I like to read, it would appear that my dog likes to be there too, hence, I'm usually found book in hand and a dog draped over me (although she draws a line at the toilet).
