Tips for picking the perfect holiday book and Giveaway
Picking the perfect book to take on holiday can almost make to break a holiday.
I devoured the Order of the Phoenix by the side of a pool in Corfu and found a little bit of suspense alongside tales of friendship and the ultimate battle at the end was a great way to relax. I tend to steer clear of something too sad though, the last thing I want is to be a blubbering wreck by the side of the pool.
The Holiday Gems blog post has the answers to all your holiday reading questions, including:
- What type of book should I take with me? – This will vary depending on the type of holiday you’re going on… a beach break, family getaway or couples escape.
- eBook vs actual book… which is better for your holiday reads?
- Additional essential tips for holiday bookworms.
Head over to the Holiday Gems blog for the full guide to finding your perfect holiday book.
