Indeed, I am one of many readers with markers stuck in a collection of books I have intended to finish all year. In fact, the piles of books in my home are evidence that a large library may be required in the next residence I move to. Or at the very least I should buy a Kindle.
The Christmas break is, of course, a great time for catching up with family and friends but it also gives you time to delve into the pages of a wonderful classic, or a blush-filled romance, or bloodthirsty crime scare – or whatever floats your literary boat.
These books have been picked as the perfect holiday reads – or stocking stuffers for those non-readers of you.
