Christmas Has To Be Books, Books & More Books…

Christmas means turkey, decorations, a huge tree and lots of parties and fun as far the Brimble family is concerned…but as far I am concerned personally, it also means lots of guilt-free BOOKS!!

Guilt-free books? I hear you ask, let me explain…

When you’re a bibliophile as I am, a huge amount of guilt comes with the quantity of books I buy…and invariably hide from my husband. Addict? Moi?

Every time someone asks either me, or my family what I would like for Christmas, they are all under explicit instructions to tell them BOOKS and then give the lovely gift giver a list of my favourite authors and their latest releases (which I refrain from buying prior to this beautiful festive season (see? I do have a modicum of self-control).

As a way to release some steam from my personal pressure cooker of excitement, I am sharing my Top Ten list of books I’d love to see in my stocking this year.

In no particular order:

1) The King’s Curse – Philippa Gregory

2) The Monogram Murders: The New Hercule Poirot Mystery – Sophie Hannah

3) Blood Magick – Nora Roberts

4) Where Love Lies – Julie Cohen

5) Leaving Time – Jodi Picoult

6) The Winter Crown – Elizabeth Chadwick

7) Your Beautiful Lies – Louise Douglas

8) The Woman Who Stole My Life – Marian Keyes

9) The Homecoming – Robyn Carr

10) An Autobiography – Agatha Christie

This list about sums up my entire reading habits – give me some romance, women’s fiction, British monarchy history or a murder/mystery and I am one happy lady. Merry Christmas!

 

Author Bio:  

I live with my fantastic husband, our two young daughters and my beloved black Labrador, Max in a small market town near the famous Georgian City of Bath. Having always ‘played’ with writing, I didn’t seriously sit down and write toward publication until I became pregnant with my second daughter – then I told myself to get my butt in the chair and get on with it before she grows up and I’m forced to get a real job! Lots of short stories followed as did lots of rejections! I took a few distance learning courses, joined some online writers groups and basically, learned my craft. Finally deciding short stories weren’t working for me (they are an art form in themselves!), in 2006 I decided to embark on my first novel and voila Searching For Sophie was born! Since then, my other books have followed each year. And when I’m not writing? You’ll find me with my head in a book or walking the beautiful English countryside with my family. And in the evening? Well, a well-deserved glass of wine is never, ever refused.
