3 SUMMER INSPIRATIONS 
FOR AUGUST 

Please remember if you are buying books through our website with our affiliates Hive, this is warmly welcomed as you are supporting your local bookshop at no additional cost to you.

This month, The Reading Den is taking a break from its traditional 3 Bright Ideas and bringing you 3 inspirational summer tonics. You can never go wrong with a classic and the Den has decided to revisit Rebecca by Daphne Du Maurier, always a firm favourite, especially as there is a new film version expected to be released later this year starring Lily James, Armie Hammer and Kristin Scott Thomas. Or head to the Deep South with My Sunshine Away, a debut coming of age novel by M. O. Walsh which submerges you into the sweltering heat of the Baton Rouge and this wonderfully tight-knit community. Our third choice has just made the Booker longlist, Such a Fun Age by Kiley Reid - a funny, poignant debut novel about parenting, race and class.  Reid’s writing has a fresh and insightful quality which exposes these issues with humour and truthfulness.

​

And we will back in September with our usual 3 Bright Ideas.  

 

Love Anne & Jenny

For the best book club experience, The Reading Den offers three hand-picked choices each month, our top Den reads (Den's Dozen), our favourite authors and a platform to share your reading ideas with us.  

​

You can find practical advice for your own club, how to manage the logistics and set up your own Den.

 

We are your virtual ‘word of mouth’ - so you can enjoy the most from your next read.
