Winner picked at random June 11
A BUMPER SACK OF SUMMER READS !
But hurry!
This fabulous offer only runs between 7 May and 11 June.
‘What better treat for book lovers than a FREE sack of books?’ says Kristin Gleeson, the offer’s coordinator. ‘It reminds me of going to the library when I was young, coming back with a pile of books and taking ages to decide which one to read first. It was like a feast for me.’ Her own book, Selkie Dreams, a historical novel set in 19th Century Belfast and Alaska, is one of the books included.
The sack contains a wide variety of books and there should be something for everyone to enjoy. For a wet weekend or a day on the beach, the thriller, Mrs. Jones by B.A. Morton (second prize winner at the Yeovil Literary Festival) offers a gripping pacey read about a New York cop and an English woman who witnesses a murder. For historical thriller lovers, there’s Gallow’s Curse, by Karen Maitland, set in Medieval England. Or if political intrigue and romance ticks boxes for you, Jean Gill’s Song at Dawn, set in 12th Century Narbonne, is just the ticket.
Garden fans, especially tulip lovers, might enjoy The Chosen Man by J.G. Harlond, set against the backdrop of the great ‘tulip fever,’ in the 17th Century, when the price of tulip bulbs might fetch more than a rare gem. Dave Evardson offers a book for fantasy lovers with The Fenwold Riddle.
Runner- up for the McKitterick Prize and BBC Radio 4 programme ‘A Good Read’ selection, Frances Kay’s gripping novel, Micka is about two boys who take a game to dangerous ends. Those who like a bit of supernatural spice to their reading would love Moonyeen Blakey’s The Assassin’s Wife, a tale of a young woman seer whose vision of two princes in the tower leads her into danger. And last but not least, check out Karen Charlton’s historical novel Catching the Eagle which based on the true story of her regency ancestor who was at the centre of Northumberland’s most notorious miscarriage of justice.
