Christmas Reading: Sort your Christmas Presents for under £10!

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:

Christmas is coming! 

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'
by L.M Montgomery

'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:

FOR THE ROMANCE LOVER: 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 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. Purchase from Amazon here Purchase from The Book Depository here Purchase from Fishpond.co.uk 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. Purchase from Amazon here Purchase from The Book Depository here Purchase from Fishpond.co.uk 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! Purchase from Amazon here Purchase from The Book Depository here Purchase from Fishpond.co.uk 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? Purchase from Amazon here Purchase from The Book Depository here Purchase from Fishpond.co.uk 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!
