   Trying to get your man to read? Try these books!

   Reading a book and getting to talk about it and discuss it with your other half is fun and a great way to bond. If you want to get your man to read, here are a few books that never disappoint and will entertain the both of you!

   - The Life of Ian Fleming by John Pearson – What man doesn’t want to know more about the creator of the ultimate man’s man, 007?

   - Born a Crime – Trevor Noah – A hilarious and highly entertaining autobiography by a great comedian.

   - My Uncle Oswald by Roald Dahl – Very much a book for adults, this is a great tale told by a master storyteller.

   - 1984 by George Orwell – Written back in the 40s but strangely prophetic, this is a great read for this day and age.

   - Look Who’s Back by Timur Vermes – A satirical comedy that will get any guy laughing out loud.

   These are great books that will have your man telling you “Just One More Chapter”!

   We absolutely love fairy tale retellings, especially during the winter months. We realise that there are a lot of retellings for young adults....but what about the adults? We have compiled a list of our favourites, old and new....and yes, we have read them all!

   

   1. The Winternight trilogy by Katherine Arden

   If you love Russian fairy tales, a strong heroine, magic horses and an incredible atmosphere with beautiful writing, then this is the book for you. The last book in the series, The Winter of the Witch, has just been released so if you have not started this trilogy now is your chance to grab all three books!
