Do you subscribe to our NextReads eNewsletters? Have you even heard of them? Our NextReads eNewsletters are email newsletters that provide reading suggestions for all ages in more than 25 reading categories. You think I'm kidding but I'm seriously not. Lookit: Christian fiction, fantasy, historical fiction, biography and memoir, armchair travel, romance, nature and science... See? LOTS.
As if that isn't awesome enough on its own, each book is selected by editors, who then add a brief summary. (Okay, I'll let you in on a little secret - the 'summary' is taken from the catalogue BUT STILL it counts because we have to manually add it!).
Subscribing is easy - simply select which eNewsletters you'd like to receive, add 'Create Your Account' details (name, email, password) and click SUBSCRIBE. Et voilĂ . Done.
I was looking over the Armchair Travel eNewsletter (which went out just last night) and I chortled over some of the titles. They are bizarre. (Maybe it's a case of 'one man's eww is another man's oohh'?) So I'm highlighting five of them for this post. You can read the rest of the eNewsletter here. (And oohh it has pretty, moving pictures because yes, I am that shallow).

Top 5 books for dads who are geeks
“But raising geeks goes beyond teaching them the difference between Darths Vader and Maul. It means teaching them an empowering worldview.”
- Ken Denmead
Having posted 5 parenting books for real people I thought it time to even up the gender balance… and post something for my soon-to-be-a-father nephew-in-law (sheesh, that was longwinded!).
The adults surrounding this future baby fully expect her (we’re 99% sure it’s a her) to be a geek and proud of it. She’ll be absorbing science-fiction movies at an early age; will be gaming – board and computer – young; and will be making stuff (probably more with her mum – including the woodworking & soldering bits). These titles will surely inspire her future-dad to learn new skills along with his baby girl. We’ve all got to start somewhere, right?
