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.

 

  • Poetry

Rapture, by Carol Ann Duffy

  • Short stories

Tair Ochr y Geiniog, by Mihangel Morgan

  • History

Yn dilyn llwyddiant ein her ddarllen Hanes Mis Pobl Dduon y tymor diwethaf, rydym yn lansio her ddarllen Darllen Gwell newydd wedi’i hysbrydoli gan Fis Hanes LGBT+. Rydym wedi gweithio gyda Rhwydwaith Staff LGBT+ Prifysgol Abertawe i lunio’r her hon ac rydym ni hefyd wedi cael cefnogaeth gan Swyddogion Undeb y Myfyrwyr.

Mae’r cynllun yn syml – darllenwch lyfr sy’n cyd-fynd â phob category isod. (os ydych yn gallu dod o hyd i lyfr sy’n cyd-fynd â mwy nag un categori, mae hawl gwneud hynny!). Rydym wedi awgrymu rhai yr hoffech roi cynnig arnynt isod. Gallwch eu benthyg o Lyfrgelloedd Prifysgol Abertawe. Hefyd rydym wedi casglu rhai awgrymiadau ar-lein.  Gallwch ddod o hyd i’ch llyfrau eich hun hefyd – rhannwch eich syniadau gan ddefnyddio #paDarllenYnWell.

Cynhelir yr her tan 29 Chwefror. Os nad ydych chi’n llwyddo i ddarllen pob un o’r llyfrau erbyn hynny, peidiwch â phoeni – hwyl yn unig yw hwn, felly gallwch gymryd faint bynnag o amser sydd ei angen arnoch! Rhowch wybod i ni sut mae’n mynd ar @SwanseaUniLib ar Twitter, Instagram a Facebook.
