From techniques on how to achieve Deep Sleep to an all-access pass to the record- breaking life of Ariana Grande; and from quizzes and puzzles for classic lit lovers to the original best-selling glossary of Cockney Rhyming Slang; these are enticing little gifts to pick up, prize and pocket.
With over 100 titles scheduled across Music, Fashion, Travel, Humour and more, Gemini’s Pocket series will become a mainstay across the trade, and will be supported with major marketing activity at launch and throughout 2025.
Drawing on the vivid detail in the seven completed novels of the three Brontë sisters -- Charlotte, Emily and Anne -- the ingenious quizzes and puzzles in this fun collection will test your memory. Even the illustrations, by Edmund Dulac, require you to recognise the characters they depict.
📖 My Review..
In order get the best out of this mini literary quiz book you really need to know your Brontës and whilst I thought I knew quite a lot about this trio of sisters I was challenged to get some of the answers but I have definitely had great fun trying and thankfully, there are answers at the end of the book.
Full of lovely Brontë information these pocket sized books are the perfect size to have tucked away in your bag ready to bring out when you need to pass the time. I’ve loved everything about this little book, from the gentle tones of its coloured pages, to the beautiful illustrations, and snippets of Brontë information which are scattered like little jewels throughout the whole of the book. I have to admit to feeling rather guilty actually writing in the book, as that is something I really find difficult to do however, I got over my terror of marking pristine pages by using a soft pencil which was easily erased.

A variety of ingenious puzzles to test your knowledge of the works of Charles Dickens, creator of many of the best-known characters in fiction and widely regarded as the greatest novelist of the Victorian era. Illustrated throughout by the British caricaturist George Cruikshank, who was praised as the Hogarth of his day.
📖 My Review..
Similarly with the Brontë book this pocket quiz book contains so much about Dickens that it’s a real joy to read, even if, like me, you don’t like writing in the pages of a book there is more than enough to peruse and ponder. The illustrations make such a difference and truly make this pocket Dickens into something rather special. I’ve been reading Dickens for pleasure ever since I first picked up Oliver Twist in my teens but this feisty little book tested my knowledge and made me want to read, or listen, to these fabulous stories all over again.
In the run up to Christmas when we search for little literary gifts to tempt the readers in our lives look no further than this group of Gemini Pockets. They’re fun, fabulous and kept me entertained from start to finish.
From little guides to soothe your soul to all-access passes to the lives of pop icons, and from quizzes and puzzles for literature lovers to books on food, nature, fashion and more, Gemini Pockets are the perfect fit for your life and interests.
