With the cold autumnal evenings drawing in, there’s nothing nicer for me than cosying up with a good book in the warm on a dark evening! There are some ‘golden oldies’ that I like to go back to as old favourites for my Winter Warmers but there are some new books coming out soon that I think will also be great books to enjoy for the cold months. Here’s our top 10 choices for Winter Warmers…why don’t you tell us yours?

Kate Harrison’s The Secret Shopper Unwrapped is a fabulous Christmas read set in the world of retail and secret shopping. Join Emily, Grazia and Sandie on a festive adventure and a few personal twists and turns along the way too. This book has it all - fun, laughs, love and a few tears too, and I definitely recommend it as a great Winter Warmer!

Heaven Can Wait is the debut novel from author Cally Taylor, and a magnificent debut it is too. It takes a look at one woman’s journey to becoming a ghost so she can stay with her fiancé Dan forever, but things aren’t always straight forward. The ghost story elements sets this book apart from other chick lit on the shelves and is a fantastic debut that is sure to be a massive hit with anyone who reads it, I can’t recommend it enough! A delightful and charming read.

Fans of Alexandra Potter will be pleased to see that her new novel is now available on Amazon for pre-order! You’re The One That I Don’t Want is due out on 8th July 2010, and is Alexandra’s 8th book. Here’s the synopsis:

“What if you found your soulmate…
and then discovered you couldn’t lose him?

When Lucy meets Nate aged 18, it is love at first sight. As far as she’s concerned, he’s The One. Caught up in the whirlwind of first love, they kiss under the Bridge of Sighs in Venice at sunset and – according to the legend – are tied together indefinitely.

But ten years later, they’ve almost forgotten about each other. That is, until fate starts to bring them together. Again. And again. And again. It doesn’t seem as wonderful as it had before, but if Nate’s not The One – then why on earth is it proving so hard to break up with him?

A funny and magical romantic comedy about what happens when every girl’s dream of finding her dream man comes very true indeed…”
