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 read by the pool on holiday. After that, in bed.

In the summer I love to read in the garden and in winter I love to curl up in front of the fire x

I like to read in the garden if the weather is nice but this time of year I'm most likely to be found reading in our armchair or in bed.

On holiday I prefer lighter novels andmy favourite place to read is on a comfy sun-lounger around the pool or on the beach but in the winter I like to curl up under the duvet and lose myself in a gripping thriller

I liked to lie in the bath with a book and a glass of wine. Only time I get any peace.

Either snuggled up on the sofa with the dog (keeping my feet warm) or in bed just before going to sleep

I love to read anywhere I can, especially in bed before I go to sleep

Snuggled up with all my animals around me......a Great Dane, Collie and Maltese Poodle. Would have my cats too but unfortunately the dogs are not too receptive to that idea!

Rachand Mon 08-Dec-14 15:33:13

In the conservatory in my comfy chair, feet up, nice and warm because of the sunshine despite the cold weather outside, enjoying a good read while views of my garden always in eye shot, including visits from neighbouring cats! (I don't mind them!)

on my own comfortable armchair

My favourite place to curl up with a good read is on the NZ01 flight to Auckland in New Zealand to see my partner in February....Its a 32 hour flight so as long as I have not forgotten my reading glasses I can pass the whole journey cocooned in the clouds which is only enhanced by the fact I am on my way to somewhere warm to see my favourite person...

I've got an Eero Aarnio ball chair (remember The Prisoner?) they are perfect for reading.

Jittie82 Mon 08-Dec-14 14:48:46

I love to curl up with my book in the window seat in my living room, listening to the rain outside

My favourite place to read is curled up on the settee under my blanket in front of the fire, drinking a hot chocolate.

goose1964 Mon 08-Dec-14 08:46:56

I read anywhere & everywhere but my favourite is whilst relaxing in a hot bath

maureenm48 Mon 08-Dec-14 07:24:37

Lying on a sun lounger in the warm sun or realistically in bed or in a hot,deep bath !

In the summer I like to sit in the conservatory, fling open the doors and read with the sun and warmth streaming in. In colder weather I like to read in the bath or whilst having an early night, curled up in bed.
