Have you taken part in our Better Read challenges? They are a great way to diversify your reading and discover new authors and genres. We’re launching a new one this week!

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 gathered together some suggestions for each prompt. Or find your own books and share your ideas using #suBetterRead.

The challenge runs until 19th April. 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.

Read a book that matches each of the categories below.

  • LGBT+ History Month 2021 Faces – A book by or about Lily Parr, Mark Ashton, Maya Angelou, Michael Dillon or Mark Weston.
  • A Reading Well Mood-boosting Book
  • A genre fiction book by a Black author (genre fiction can include crime, fantasy, romance, science fiction, horror…)
  • A book by a woman that won an award in the last five years
