National Year of Reading: Staff Favourites - Liz
As you may already be aware, 2026 is the National Year of Reading!
The National Year of Reading is a UK-wide campaign designed to help more people rediscover the joy of reading. As a library, it only felt right to celebrate by asking some of our lovely staff to share their favourite books or magazines and why they love them.
Liz, who works at the Campus Library, has chosen Wild Dark Shore by Charlotte McConaghy as her favourite. She explains:
“I recently read Wild Dark Shore on our Libby reading app, drawn in by the premise of a stranger washing ashore on a remote island and the secrets that follow. This book delivered a bit of everything I enjoy: an end‑of‑the‑world eco‑crisis, a gripping mystery and plenty of family drama to keep things emotional and messy. A deeply satisfying read with a bit of everything.”
