I am really excited about this particular giveaway because it includes some books that I have really enjoyed over the course of this past year. These are books I would recommend with little to no hesitation as being good reads and are definitely on my “gift buying” list this year. They aren’t necessarily just for men, but would definitely appeal to those who enjoy a bit more action and adventure in their reading.
First of all, there’s Coop: A Year of Poultry, Pigs, and Parenting
What puts this book into the “Action & Adventure” category? Are you raising kids? Do you own a pig? ‘Nough said.
I also have to recommend The Sacred Cipher
I, for one, would love to see a movie made out of this particular book. Definitely one to highlight on your gift list!
I wrote a review of Night of Flames over on my own site, Reading to Know and found this to be an interesting novel about World War II. It focuses on the invasion of Poland, which is a country you hear less about in the fiction department, making it a more unique read. It does have some language issues in it, but as I mentioned in my review, I thought the language was directed at the right people and was used well (or, as “well” as foul words can ever be). I found this story to be very thought-provoking. Author Douglas Jacobson is a very good story teller and so I’d recommend this book to people on your Christmas list who enjoy Historical fiction, specifically related to World War II.
I am over the moon excited by this particular book. I read and wrote up a review of The Silent Gift over at Reading to Know and I would heartily recommend and encourage that you give the review a read, and then hurry out and find a copy of this book for yourself. If you or anyone you know enjoyed The Thirteenth Tale, then you will enjoy The Silent Gift. Incredibly clever and exciting book and I enthusiastically recommend it several times over.
SEVERAL times over!
Lastly, Jennifer read and reviewed Children of Dust: A Memoir of Pakistan here at 5 Minutes for Books, and she thought it would make a great book for that book-loving guy in your life. She would describe this book as a male coming of age story. This book would be good for those who enjoy reading about religion, stories set in the Middle East, or fans of well-written exotic (adventurous?) memoir.
Carrie comes by her book obsession honestly, having descended from a long line of bibliophiles. She blogs about books regularly at Reading to Know and Reading My Library.
