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
My favourite place to relax and read is on a sun lounger by a hotel pool in Benidorm. Sadly that isn't always possible so when at home I coory up on MY spot on the sofa with my heatpad at my back, a blanket round my legs and a nice cup of milky sweet coffee.
I love reading in the winter curled up on my bed, pillows as back support with a blanket, and a nice glass of wine. When the weathers warmer I love reading in my local park as I love the smells and sounds helps my imagination come to life.
Oh, I have so many favourite places to read, as I love to read. On a warm day, sat outside, enjoying the fresh air, or all curled up in the warmth if its cold outside. Each book takes me to a new place also, a beach, a house in London, a farmhouse, a castle ................ the list is so endless.
In the summer time I sit out on the bench in the herb garden in the sun and read and doze, but when it is cold and miserable I like to curl up on the sofa nearest the fire, a fleecy throw over my knees and a cup of hot chcolate beside me, and read away the nasty short afternoons
In the Summer I love to sit in the garden in the shade, with the birds cheerping in the background and me with a cold drink and my book, and in Winter I love reading in a steamy hot bath shut away from the family quiet and peaceful I am a bookworm though and can read anywhere I love the feel of the pages and the comfort they bring
