I don't know about you ,but after Christmas is when any gift vouchers I receive are spent on treats, and in my case they often get spent on books. Ahhhh books.....
The Night Bookmobile by Audrey Niffenegger. This is a beautiful book inside and out . The story is short but meaningful and the illustrations stunning!
The Fantastic Flying Books Of Mr Morris Lessmore by William Joyce. This is a special book full of adorable pictures and poignant moments sure to bring a lump to your throat . If you like pictures of books , and people with books then both the above books will fill those requirements perfectly!
Harry Potter And The Philosophers Stone by J.K. Rowling. Illustrated by Jim Kay. I love this story and it was an extra special treat when I got this . You better believe The Chamber Of Secrets is on my wish list ! :0)
I never tire of The Ocean At The Bottom Of The Lane by Neil Gaiman . Truly wonderful book and memorable characters ! 
The Unraveling Of Violeta Bell by C.R. Corwin . A mystery book with a cosy feel and a feisty female lead character .
Calling Mrs Christmas by Carole Matthews. A festive cosy read. 
Christmas At Claridges by Karen Swan. 
Girl Reading by Katie Ward. For anybody who loves books about books and reading. 
A journal .... A good idea for those who like to keep track of their reading or salacious gossip ;0)
The Bookshop by Penelope Fitzgerald . This is a small little gem . 
84 Charing Cross Road by Helene Hanff.
Buried In Books by Julie Rugg
Stet by Diana Athill . An Editors Life. I love the honesty of Diana's writing . I recommend all her books.
The bookshops in January are quite sane ....there is less chance of getting trampled to death for that last copy of that "must read " book... the shops are easing up on blasting the heating and you can finally hear yourself think after the buzz that is Christmas, and all that goes with that . So , if you are like me , and you a love a good book , but when faced with an "actual bookshop " ,and not a screen with a search bar , you are a bit daunted ....then look no further .
Here are some recommendations on some books worth your holiday bucks :0)
I always recommend this book and for good reason ! A book about the love of books and friendship surrounded by books .
Howard's End Is On The Landing by Susan Hill. It's a delicious read !
If you guys have any suggestions on books I should look out for please put them in the comments .
