Day Three brings literary gifts. To be precise:
A Neverland to Wonderland poster from The Literary Gift Company
And a Folio Society copy of All Quiet on the Western Front
How beautiful is the poster please? Utterly perfect for anyone with a love of children's literature or just maps in general. And words can't express how much I love the Folio Society. This is a wonderful book and the illustrations and cover make it even better. Who wouldn't want this gracing their bookshelves?
I very strongly wish I could keep both of these for myself but they're all yours. Enter below, you lucky, lucky things.

Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty and Alice in Wonderland, I always enjoy reading a fairytale at Christmas xxx
ReplyDeleteIn December I turn either to Harry Potter - Hogwarts always feels festive to me! Or I'll re-read Little Women swiftly followed by an Austen - usually Persuasion or Pride and Prejudice :-) Old favourites are the best at this time of year!
ReplyDeleteJem xXx
I always enjoy reading A Christmas Carol. I know it's cliche but it makes me feel literary and warm inside. Plus in my head it's read by Simon Callow :)
ReplyDeleteI love reading fairytales at this time of year so I bring out my Grimm anthology! It's dark and creep and perfect!
ReplyDeleteOh the poster is so pretty! Perfect for the empty space above my mantlepiece.

I'm heading off to the lakes to snuggle in a cottage, taking the night circus by Erin morgenstein
ReplyDeleteDecember for me is all about celebrity biographies! It may not be cool or very literary, but I just love reading all the salacious details of famous people's lives! To be honest, I don't even have to particularly like the person! I'm currently reading The Prince Of Wales by Jonathan Dimbleby, a veritable tome of a book, although I am a total Royalty geek so I'm sure I will plough through it in no time!
ReplyDeleteAt the moment I'm reading The Great Gatsby, in anticipation for the film release. :)
ReplyDeleteAlso The Night Circus as I've heard so many good things.

Heard great things about this book.
ReplyDeleteRead at Christmas? I honestly can't think of a book I've ever been drawn to festively. I supposed I'd have to go for carols then! x
ReplyDeletePlanning to dust out the Hobbit :-) In preparation for the hobbit which im hugely excited about seeing!!
ReplyDeleteLoving the poster! fiona

ReplyDeletea good thriller
ReplyDeleteThe Snowman, although technically "read" isn't quite the right word
ReplyDeleteThey are both fab.
ReplyDeleteX x
I have my Alice in Wonderland collection that I sometimes read again this time of year - the poster would be so fitting!
ReplyDeleteLove that poster- and what a gorgeous book x
ReplyDeleteI love my Roald Dahl short stories, bit of creepy-weird on a chilly night :)
ReplyDeleteemmaherself[at]gmail[dotcom]
its when all the celebs start bringing out their biographies - you will find me geeking out on these
ReplyDeleteI do a lot of rereading in December. I reread "A Christmas Carol" almost every year. Also children's books, especially those with Christmas scenes or chapters. The Little House books are great for that, as is Noel Streatfeild.
ReplyDeleteWhat gorgeous prizes. I have been reading a lot of modern classics lately like The Great Gatsby and Nineteen-Eighty-Four. I don't know what took me so long!
ReplyDeleteI always read Roald dahl novels around christmas time. Especially BFG
ReplyDeleteI don't have any specific books i read in Decemeber although any christmas story i.e A christmas carol puts a smile on my face :).

I read The Great Gatsby and some Enid Blyton recently!
ReplyDeletewhatever fancies my kids, i read that to them..
ReplyDeleteI love that poster!
ReplyDeleteI am reading The Life of Pi at the moment, can't wait for the film but bet it won't be as good as the book
ReplyDeletei always end up re-reading Little Women at christmas. :)
ReplyDeleteThis is 100% the best prize you've given away in one of your giveaways. I know I'm taking a risk saying that on Day 3 but I feel strongly about this. ARRRRGGGGHHHH!!!!! IT'S AMAZING!
ReplyDeleteI got a strange yearning for Harry Potter, very nostalgic for me as I read the first book when I was about 9 and I more or less grew up alongside harry after that :)
ReplyDeleteI usually read a light Christmassy fiction novel but I haven't got a new one yet! I'm currently reading J.K. Rowling's The Casual Vacancy :)
ReplyDeleteAlways has to be The Snowman!
ReplyDeleteAAAARGH BOOK STUFF! I like to re-read Harry Potter because it was a big part of Christmas growing up and I try to get around to reading things that I've bought in charity shops all year and let pile up x
ReplyDeleteI spotted that map on The Literary Gift site just the other day, and as a children's lit fan, I fell in love! I tend not to re-read but spend time picking a special book I've been meaning to read for ages but haven't got round to - two years ago it was Wicked, last year Discovery of Witches (which left me a bit disappointed, sadly!) Not sure this year - am thinking of giving Game of Thrones ago. Fantast fic fan much, me?
ReplyDeleteI love reading the old classics like Dickens (although not particularly happy Christmases) but they do paint a picture of the country covered in snow ready for the holiday season.
ReplyDeleteLiterary Christmas specials never really work for me, in the run up I've usually got exams and essay deadlines forcing me to push back the present buying, but then I get a pile of books for Christmas and the week between Christmas and New Years is for me and my books.
ReplyDeleteEek how did I miss this one?! BEAUTIFUL MAP!! Every Christmas Eve I get out my ancient (well, as old as me) copy of The Night Before Christmas :) The illustrations are gorgeous x
ReplyDeleteNight before Christmas only my little girl likes it about 29 nights before Christmas!
ReplyDeletechristmasy books
ReplyDeleteI don't have any particular Christmassy books that I read, but I'm currently reading Down & Out In Paris and London. :)
ReplyDeleteThe poster is sooooooooooooo beautiful. I've entered the giveaway (hope I've done it right!). xx
ReplyDeleteMy ultimate Christmas book is The Box Of Delights by John Masefield.
ReplyDeleteI like reading Christmassy stories to the kids. I used to love the winter edition of the Brambley Hedge series where they celebrate Christmas with a big feast.
ReplyDeleteIn December I like to read the classics - currently reading "The Hobbit!"
ReplyDeleteHow lush is the Literary Book company! I'd love love love this prize. I love their book-bags too.xx
ReplyDeleteEvery single Christmas Eve night I read "A Visit from Santa Clause" (aka Twas the Night Before Christmas) aloud to my parents.
ReplyDeleteA Christmas Carol of course ;)
