Looking for holiday reading? There are some wonderful books in our New Titles list.
This great science fiction novel by Frank Schatzing is the second part of the story, begun in
The Chinese and Americans are competing for helium-3, an element to solve the World's energy crisis...
The Beginning of the World in the Middle of the Night
This book by Jen Campbell is packed to the brim with magical and spooky short stories. Fairy tales in the true sense of the word. Perfect for Christmas reading!
This is touted as an unlikely love story. Unlikely because the lovers are in their eighties! Brought together by the necessity of a road-trip to Switzerland, (I love road trip stories), the pair find there is still "life in their eyes"...
This beautiful book is by Wu Ming-Yi , a Taiwanese author and environmental activist famous for his books on butterflies. The Stolen Bicycle revolves around a writer, convinced that if he finds his errant father's bicycle, he will find him. Entwined in this story are stories from the 'oldest elephant that ever lived,' and from soldiers who fought in the jungles of South-East Asia during World War II. And yes, there are butterflies!
This new offering by Stephen King and his son Owen might keep you awake at night. Affected by a strange virus, all the women in Dooling have fallen asleep. All except one. Meanwhile, the men have gone feral... My favourite author, always a go-to for the festive season.
And while we are waiting with bated breath for the new Ms Dr Who, how about this gem?
Part of a series of Dr Who Mr Men books, this is a real charmer. Also featuring my favourite Dr Who (David Tennant!). Our catalogue calls this 'the greatest mashup in the Whoniverse. Woo!
Merry Christmas reading, folks!
