Team Bookmark's Christmas Reads
To recharge ahead of an exciting 2023, what are the Bookmark team hoping to read over the Christmas break? (Santa, you might want to take note…)
‘The First to Die at the End’ by Adam Silvera, which is the prequel to the book I'm currently reading – Ed, Operational Support
‘Alias Grace’ by Margaret Atwood, because it's been untouched on my bookshelf for about a month now – Meg, Programme Support
I'm about a third of the way through ‘Klara and the Sun’ so would really like to read more books by Kazuo Ishiguro – Sacha, Head of Volunteering
‘The Nightingale’ by Kristin Hannah because I love a historical fiction! – Abbie, Marketing
‘Swimming Home’ by Deborah Levy, I'm quite new to her writing but read her autobiography ‘The Cost of Living’ over lockdown and absolutely loved it! – Hani, Fundraising
I am really wanting to read ‘Hotel Splendide’ this Christmas… I did technically just buy it for myself but might put it under the tree just for effect! - Laura, Fundraising
I would LOVE the Slytherin version of the Harry Potter special edition box set to go with my Gryffindor set and maybe a signed copy of my (current!) book of the year ‘Wrong Place, Wrong Time’ by Gillian McAllister as I just missed out on a copy. - Karen, Operational Support
‘The Electric State’ by Simon Stalenhag - I love post-apocalyptic stories and films, and with this becoming a film soon I'd love to read the original material – Martin, School Business Development
We hope these give you some inspiration for your own reading list!
We’re wishing all our volunteers, partner schools and supporters a wonderful festive season and we’re looking forward to doing it all over again with you in 2023!
