After the success of our Black History Month reading challenge last term, we are launching a new Better Read reading challenge inspired by LGBT+ History Month. We have worked with the Swansea University Staff LGBT+ Network for this challenge and have also had support from the Students’ Union Officers.
The plan is simple – read a book that matches each of the categories below. (If you can find a book that matches more than one category, that’s allowed!) We’ve suggested some titles you might like to try below. You can borrow them from Swansea University Libraries. We’ve also gathered some suggestions online. You can find your own books too, though – share your ideas using #suBetterRead.
The challenge runs until 29th February. If you don’t manage to read all your books by then, don’t worry – this is just for fun, so you can take as long as you want to! Let us know how you get on @SwanseaUniLib on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook.
