Some books to read this summer
Hello everyone,
As we shed our school bags and timetables, this can be a lovely moment to pick up a book ...
I've just finished Michael Morpungo's Born to Run (as I saw him give an online reading only last night! it was fab) and have started Rachel Joyce's The Love Song of Miss Queenie Hennessy (which I am enjoying greatly).
So what's the best way to choose what to read this summer?
Well, the best is always to go into a bookshop! There are plenty in Strasbourg, but a good starting point is always Librairie Kleber, and especially their International bookshop (which is next to Starbucks and Apple store). Most second-hand bookshops also have an English book section.
Another way is to go through Reading Lists. For example,
NPR's 100 Best-Ever Teen Novels
Goodread's Summer Reading List (which has Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird, a favourite of mine at the top of the list).
Here Random House's "high school reading list" ...
A final way is to read the comment section of this blog....
Why? because I would like you to write your favourite book or a book title you would recommend into the comments section of this blog (if, for any reason, to doesn't work, feel free to post within our WhatsApp chat).
I, for one, would love any recommendations you might have for me ... and, in return, hope to be able to recommend my very own novel to you by September (Trespassers). That is, if I don't spend my summer reading instead of writing. Only 6 or 7 chapters left to write, that doesn't sound like to much work, does it?
Kind regards to one and all,
Mrs C
