Students holding up pictures of their reading animals

This term Dr O's Economics students are reading Talking to My Daughter by Yanis Varoufakis. They came up to the library today to collect their books, and while they were here they decided what reading animal they are - there were a lot of tortoises! #bedesreads #goallin #nationalyearofreading2026

Mini review: I really enjoyed this, really like her writing, found the main characters sympathetic apart from Donald and Hilde, who both needed a punch in the nose. Definitely recommend. 4.25/5

What Reading Animal Are You? Everyone enjoys books in different ways, and this week I thought it would be fun to imagine readers as animals.

Love in the Library Hey bookworms! Get ready to fall head over heels, because there’s a fresh batch of swoon-worthy YA romance novels in the library.

New library blog! 🥳 #bedesreads #booksky #libraries #blog

#BannedBookSkyClub discussion of #ParableOfTheSower by Octavia E. Butler. #BookSky

What did you think of Butler's use of diary entries to tell the story? Did it add to the impact? How?

George Eliot and George Sand were both authors, and women.

Happy Women's History Month.

“Five Bridges,” by Colm Tóibín Being undocumented at a time when no one bothered much about illegal Irish people had almost suited him.

There's a new Colm Tóibín story in this week's New Yorker, some gentle, mournful fiction about what America was and is for an ordinary man today www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

What a bookworm needs: books, money for more books and time to read more books.

Good morning. We are open. 📖☕️

Whatever career you want to pursue, reading books will get you there. #bedesreads #booksky

Can't pick a favourite this time! 😄

A brightly coloured noticeboard on a breeze-block wall, headed with the words Read Every Day, and covered in posters and slogans to do with reading, as well as pictures/illustrations/cartoons of, e.g., brains reading and lifting weights, piles of books, people reading.

A productive afternoon spent with our Reading Ambassadors, putting together a jolly new noticeboard outside the Sports Hall! #bedesreads #libraries #booksky

There are times when only Wodehouse will do…

‘I write all my poems with a quill by candlelight’: John Cooper Clarke on the joy of life without tech The punk poet has no smartphone, no email, not even a computer. Everyone should try it, he says

They go on a lot today about responsible drinking, but neighbourhood pubs used to enforce that. There’d be a pal of your dad’s in there saying, “You’ve had a few too many, kid, steady on – it’s still three hours till closing time.” ~ John Cooper Clarke

Just a friendly reminder that your desire to have a bookshelf with a rolling ladder is valid. Don’t let anyone ever disrespect you by telling you otherwise.

Loved 'Isaac and the Egg' (available in your friendly school library), and looking forward to this one! #bedesreads #booksky
