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 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.

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

They go on a lot today about responsible drinking, but neighbourhood pubs used to enforce that. Thereβd be a pal of your dadβs in there saying, βYouβve had a few too many, kid, steady on β itβs still three hours till closing time.β ~ John Cooper Clarke

Just a friendly reminder that your desire to have a bookshelf with a rolling ladder is valid. Donβt 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
