Here is a list of all the fantastic reads that you shouldn’t be missing this holiday season;
What Could Be More Intriguing Than Food?
Bread, Wine, Chocolate
By Simran Sethi
We should be giving more credit to our everyday ingredients than we already do. This is exactly what the Award-winning journalist Simran Sethi has done with her book. The book takes us back to the origin of our beloved spices and tells us about the history of the flavors we enjoy today.
However, the history is not the most interesting part! What catches attention the most is how beautifully the author has highlighted the cultural importance of the ingredients we use for our pleasure and how it sheds light on the homogenization of taste.
Yes, you read that right! There will be no surprise if the book makes it to the bestselling ebooks in UK. It captures the essence of what is wrong with the way we think of our food in such an artistic way that it intrigues readers’ minds.
Diversity of our food is threatened and the author tells you how to overcome the inevitable. Letting readers know the importance of variety we have for our taste buds is one thing but subtly instilling in the minds that what would be like to lose the tastes that we so enjoy today is a game ball game altogether.
The genetic erosion, homogenization, and the fact that 95% of the calories that we humans consume around the globe are coming from the same thirty spices; all of these scary facts are hidden in the contents of the book remarkably. Bread, Wine, Chocolate is kind of a book that tells you why Sethi is an award- winning journalist. Her journalistic skills and keen interest in details is evident throughout the book making it one of the best ebooks for beach holidays.
Farm-to-Table Desserts
By Lei Shishak
Who doesn’t love to support their local economy and also get healthy and nutritional food in return? Certainly we all do. The book is also about the same thing but better. It spills all the secrets about how locally sourced ingredients can make your baking experience worth it.
It has more than 80 recipes all collected and curated by chef Lei. Do we need to say more about how good these formulas to bake are going to be? All of these mouth-watering baking instructions are sectioned season wise giving its readers an opportunity to be able to bake something that everyone craves at all times of the year.
This very book is like a dream for all the book publishers UK currently houses because there is no doubt it is one of the best books we are going to be raving about for years to come.
Let’s Travel Out of This World
The Invasion (Extended Version)
By William Meikle
What is writing if not an homage to the knowledge once acquired by the people before us or to the ones coming after us? The Invasion is also a tribute to old school alien stories and sci-fi from 50’s. The book is like a heaven for sci-fi fans with all the elements of their liking in it.
It has last-minute heroic rescues, impossible survivals, and to top it all off; fleets of ships above the human heads. But also, there is one thing separating it from 50’s sci-fi; The Invasion is a story with loads and loads of slime. Now, how did slime and aliens connect? Guess, you’ll have to read the book to make that work.
Forbidden the Stars
By Valmore Daniels
Kindle book publishing is really making it hard for others to stay in the game through the books like Forbidden the Stars. The author is definitely a sci-fi fan and has invested a lot of time in research. There is no other explanation the book of such intellect is born.
The writing is chic as the book is set in a fast-paced world towards the end of the 21st Century. The story revolves around a catastrophe in the asteroid belt. The accident kills two surveyors, a couple. The mystery element of the story is their son, who is nowhere to be found. A secret to interstellar travel is revealed with a new element in the book like a real turn of events.
Let’s Not Forget Children’s Book Publishers
Cats On The Run
By Ged Gillmore
Kids and magic go together, add some cats into the mix you’ll have their favorite read for the holidays and Ged Gilmore knows this well. The book is a story about two cats who don’t see eye to eye involving witches and magical spells.
The cats are trapped inside an apartment by two witches who want to magically transform their body parts to get the ultimate best witches’ cat, “a black purrari’. Now, if the two cats in question, namely Tuck (shorter than a litter tray) and Ginger (flabby tabby, a former street fighter) , want to escape their kidnappers, they need to work together.
Given the nature of felines and the characters of this story where both of the cats are constantly getting on each other’s nerves, the story becomes funnier by every page with a lot of misadventures and fur flying everywhere.
Tales of Wizards and Dragons
By Terry Pratchett
What kids love more than a story book? A book with more than one story. This book has three stories with colorful and powerful illustrations to keep children hooked. The illustrations are too pretty to ignore even for adults let alone the kiddos.
Children’s book publishing company for this book must be over the moon because it has all the elements that can make it the best-seller. First story gives insights about the most boring knight to be ever lived in a kingdom. How his life is and why is he the way he is, everything is in the story with plenty of room for imagination for young minds.
Second story is about an invasion of dragons. It kind of teaches how to defeat the dragons to its readers. Meanwhile, the third story opens the gates to a feud of wizards. It’s all about magic, magical spells, and then some more magic.
