Stuck For Something to Read This Summer?

16.12.11 | Comment?

Never fear! Here are some ideas:

  • - The Teen Blog summer reading list. This has got selected fiction from this year, loosely divided into categories (like Free Classic Novel e-books, Ghosts, The 20th Century for example).
  • - The New Books tag. Sift through new items that have arrived in the library this year. There’s heaps to choose from.
  • - Kirkus Reviews‘ best of 2011 list. This is an extensive list of excellent reading, from Anna Dressed in Blood to White Crow.
  • - Some New Zealand fiction. Have a look in the library for books that have koru stickers on their spines. For example, the Listener magazine thought these titles were a highlight of 2011:

The Bridge, Jane Higgins
Heart of Danger, Fleur Beale
Calling the Gods, Jack Lasenby (on order, but you can reserve it!)
Dark Souls, Paula Morris (on order: reserve it!)
