Reading lists

Choose by mood, not by genre

Each list has five suggestions. Ask your librarian or bookseller for titles that match.

01

For a tired week

Short chapters, kind characters and nothing too dark. Books you can finish in a few evenings.

02

For a long holiday

The big book you have been saving. Family sagas, long histories and slow mysteries.

03

For getting back into reading

Gripping from page one, under 250 pages and impossible to put down.

04

For reading aloud

Books that sound good spoken: for a partner, a child or a long car trip.

Wooden shelves full of books in a quiet library
