It's been such a busy year for us at Sunpenny HQ and we can't believe that it's already December.
That means only one thing:
The Christmas holidays usually give people a bit more time to read, and I
particularly like to spend the time re-reading classics as well as some
of my favourite books. There is always something very comforting and festive
about them…

'Anne of Green Gables'

'Little Women' by Louisa May Alcott |
Do you change your reading pattern at Christmas or with the seasons too?
Christmas often comes with the anticipation of new books to enjoy and of course, buying them for others too. If you’re one of those people who are super-organised and finished your
Christmas shopping weeks ago – well done, you!
However, to make the last minute decision of what to buy everyone easier, we've put together a list of Sunpenny books to help. Why not take the opportunity to get all your Christmas presents sorted today? After all, it's only twenty days away now. There really is something for everyone, from children to grandparents – and they are all under £10 each:

UNCHARTED WATERS by Sara
DuBose
The latest in our inspirational Christian romance
imprint, this would make a great gift. Sara DuBose tackles the issue of domestic
violence in an inspirational way. Beth Davidson deals with a stalker in her own
particular style, and uses her experiences and her faith to help her through her
gruelling Police Academy training and to forge a successful relationship with
the protective Donnie Crawford. A tense but uplifting
read. |

This warm and witty book is the first in the Miz Mike
series – and we can’t wait to publish the next one! Miz Mike is a best-selling
author and general busy-body, whose adventures in this first book include dog
fights, kidnapping, jealousy and murder … throw in a heart-throb cowboy, and you
have one great
read! |

BREAKING THE CIRCLE
by Althea Barr
A
gritty and suspenseful novel which tackles difficult subjects with tacit insight
and understanding. This is a moving story that will appeal to all ages – why not
get it for one of the ladies in your life? Emily, a young teacher, helps
the family of one of her pupils to break the cycle of abuse, whilst dealing with
some tough choices in her own life. Plenty of interest to keep them turning the
pages – and of course, a love story
too. |

FOR SOMEONE WHO LOVES BOATING:
|
|
FAR OUT
by Corinna Weyreter
An ideal present for anyone who loves
boats – or even your environmentally aware friends!
Corinna’s book is based on her sailing adventures around the South Pacific and contains some wonderful descriptions of this barely-explored part of the
world. The book also brings to light how the ecology of the seas has been
affected by man's activities. An absorbing and thought-provoking read.

WATERY WAYS
by Valerie Poore
Valerie’s warm and witty memoir of life in the Oude Haven, Rotterdam perfectly brings to life
her adventures and experiences whilst restoring a historic barge. Her
touchingly sincere story is one of discovery, friendship, endurance and love –
and most importantly, never
allowing the landlubbers to get you
down!

FOR CHILDREN/YOUNG ADULTS: (Mum and Dad will find them a good read
too!) |
|
IF HORSES WERE WISHES
by Elizabeth Sellers
Lucky Sandra Magill
has her own pony – and unhappy foster child Katy dreams of impressing her. When
a stray horse arrives in Sandra’s paddock, and Katy disappears – Sandra sets out
to solve the mystery. Could the two events be
linked?
|
|
|
TROUBLE RIDES A FAST HORSE
by Elizabeth Sellers
The sequel to If
Horses Were Wishes – in which Katy’s exciting story continues. I don’t want
to ruin the first book by explaining the story of the second … but I will say if
you have any horse
lovers in the family, they will love these two books! Great stocking
fillers!

THE MOUNTAINS BETWEEN
by Julie McGowan
A gripping saga set in
Wales at the beginning of the 20th Century. Jennie lives on one side of the
mountain, her life overshadowed by her tyrannical mother. Harry lives on the
other side of the mountain in a tight-knit mining community. The onset of World
War II thrusts changes upon them
that neither could imagine.

MY SEA IS WIDE
by Rowland
Evans
Rowland’s beautifully written book challenges, enthrals, entertains,
teaches, enlightens and opens new worlds and possibilities to the reader. Part
travel book, part spiritual guide, part auto-biography – this truly is an
inspiring read.
