The must-have reading list to send Santa

With more than 60,000 books in store, The Book Warehouse Lismore is helping people fill Christmas stockings with the best reads.

Store Manager Sarah Ryan said the team are working hard to restock top sellers in order to keep the waiting lists at bay.

“Last year we had waiting lists of 30-40 people wanting them but so far so good,” Ms Ryan said.

Adult fiction novel, Blue Moon by Lee Child comes highly recommended this year, as an easy to read crime narrative which has sold 54 copies since November.

As for nonfiction, Ms Ryan said Dark Emu by Bruce Pascoe has been “incredibly popular”.

The bookstore has sold more than 500 copies in the last six months.

‘Everyone wants to read it,” Ms Ryan said.

For young teenagers, Into the Wild: Wolf Girl 1 and 2 by Anh Do is a safe bet to keep young readers entertained.

Wolf Girl has really taken off, it’s a new series, like a bit of a survival story,” Ms Ryan said.

“My son read it in two days.”

And for the kids, two books based on the Australian children’s TV character Bluey are ‘flying out the door’. Both books, Bluey: Fruit Bat and Bluey: The Beach, follows the adventures of the female cartoon dog.

“Even parents love Bluey, apparently they think he is hilarious.”

Ms Ryan said over the last week there have been from 20, up to 30 people in the store consistently buying gifts for Christmas.
