Kirklees Together

Have you noticed how grey and cold it is getting outside?  Don’t fancy going out? Why not just snuggle up on the sofa with some good books…

Sounds good right?  Wouldn’t it sound even better if the book you chose was FREE!

Stuck for something for tea?  How about reading Mary Berry’s foolproof cooking or you could give Tana Ramsey’s Family Kitchen a go.

Hard day at work? Lighten up and have a laugh with Second Hand Souls or the Undomestic Goddess

Want to escape reality for a night or two? Download a thriller like The Widow or maybe some Sci Fi action from bestseller The Atlantic Gene

Need a bedtime book to get them off to sleep? You could download Diary of a Wimpy Kid or something more classic like The Secret Garden .

Do your kids always want another story? Set them a time limit with the 5 Minute Bedtime Stories audio book

Have you got the kids into bed, but then found you’re just too tired to read? Let the soothing tones of Stephen Fry reading the Harry Potter series help them and maybe you drift off.
