December Gift Guides: Books for the Whole Family

by Zaide Bishop

Here are my suggestions for gift books:

My book of the year that I want to gift to everyone is The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F** by Mark Manson. There is literally no one you cannot give that to. Okay, maybe not your grandma but everyone else is yes.

---

For someone who has been decimated by 2016 as we all have been, the new Barefoot Investor by Scott Pape.

---

 

For teenagers, Teens Cook: How To Cook What You Want To Eat by Megan, Judy & Jill Carle.

---

 

Also for teenagers: Zeroes by Scott Westerfeld and Margo Lanagan & Deborah Biancotti.

---

For middle-grades, Acquisition and its sequel Duplicity by Talitha Kaligo.

---

 I’d also like to recommend buying these books from Dymocks in Chermside, QLD. They have a Facebook page!

---

For readers who like a little rock ‘n roll (in all senses of that word, we strongly recommend Zaide’s short story as part of the Secret Confessions: Backstage series, which is available in a box set!

From the intense, inventive pen of Zaide Bishop comes the delicious, menage-errific next story in Escape’s Rocking and Rolling new Secret Confessions erotic series – Backstage.

From Australia to the world…

Chicago. The last stop of their wildly successful US tour sees Australia’s biggest rock band, The Screaming Tuesdays, in sultry, summertime Chicago to play two sold-out shows. But the stage is not where the action is, and no one knows what goes on behind the scenes…

It’s just supposed to be a fan meet-and-greet. Theo’s done them before, he’ll do them again, and he’s got Rei and Sawyer to back him up. But when fan club president Andi decides that they all need to work out their issues in a very unconventional way, Theo can’t decide if she’s a nightmare or his very deepest fantasy come true…

What readers are saying…

“Theo offers a white-hot foursome for the ages! Bishop is a new author for me and can I say, what a delightful surprise.” – J’aimee Brooker, AusRomToday
