Quick Reads are coming (website:www.quickreads.org.uk)
Eight new Quick Reads titles are being published on the 1st of March 2007.
For those of you who don't yet know, Quick Reads is the major initiative
designed to provide emergent readers, people who have lost the reading
habit and people simply in search of a short, fast-paced read, with great,
snappy reads by bestselling authors and celebrities. The brand-new set of
Quick Reads, written by some of Britain’s most popular personalities, are
coming on World Book Day and will be priced at just £1.99 each.
Amongst a great mix of fiction and non-fiction, Kerry Katona shows how she
has used some of the worst experiences of her sometimes turbulent life to
learn positive lessons; the world’s leading quit-smoking expert Allen Carr
writes about his own struggle to give up the habit for the first time since
being diagnosed with lung cancer; and the BBC’s World Affairs Editor John
Simpson shares some of the most high-octane moments of his career.
Fiction comes from favourite TV actor Ricky Tomlinson in his wickedly witty
Reading My Arse!, Adèle Geras turns her hand to a modern ghost story,
celebrated novelist Maureen Lee offers a story of hope and self-discovery
in A Dream Come True and there is a brand new Doctor Who Cybermen adventure
called Made of Steel.
The Sun Book of Short Stories is a collection of short stories written by
Sun readers with an introduction from the paper’s columnist Jane Moore. The
stories have been selected from the paper’s short story competition, which
was launched on World Book Day 2006.
