Christmas is a unique time for publishing in the UK. It's the time when dozens of fantastically obscure titles are brought out - quite a few of which go on to be the must have titles of the season.
They are sometimes refered to as 'loo books'. At Lovereading we have been diligently scouring all the books we have been sent by publishers to present to you our favourites all perfect for stocking fillers.
When you have downloaded all the extracts and thoroughly amused yourself don't forget you can get all these stocking fillers for friends and family with a 25% discount.
As we find more 'crackers' we will put them on the site.
Go on - treat someone special!
_______________________________________
Don't forget too, that it's worth checking out other areas of the
Lovereading site for little gems that we've featured over the last
year.
Here are some suggestions to take a peek at:
Large Print Books in association with the RNIB's 'Focus on Books' initiative, for cult fiction look no further than the Hitchhiker's Guide sequel, And Another Thing, for armchair sports books there’s nowhere better than our Sports Books selection, connoisseurs of crime can visit the crime prizewinners of the year, if it's topicality you're looking for then take a look at The Real World or if it's History or Popular Science then we can guide you in those areas too.
Finally, if you're still stuck then our most visited area of the site is a must for you to look at - Prizewinners - it's positively choking with stunning reads.
