Did you know that 1 in 5 of us only read on holiday? Also when these people do read they could devour 5 books! – so making sure you choose ones you will enjoy this Summer is even more important. That’s where Lovereading’s unique approach, of handpicked selections and free Opening Extracts of all the books we feature, is priceless.
Read on for some of this month’s highlights and news of new fiction publisher Blue Door, the CWA Dagger Awards and our Sci-Fi category which has had a mega makeover. Or scroll down to see a selection of personal favourites from our Summer Reading selections.
We are pleased to be part of the launch of a terrific new imprint – Blue Door - from one of the leading UK publishers, HarperCollins. The seasoned Publishing Director behind it, Patrick Janson-Smith, was responsible for bringing us Sophie Kinsella’s hilarious Shopaholic series and Slumdog Millionaire. With Patrick’s unique, eclectic taste for potential bestsellers we are expecting some exciting books in the future. Find out more about his launch titles in our special section.
Perhaps it’s the dire economic situation making people want to ‘escape’, but Science Fiction is having a bit of a renaissance and what’s even better is that UK authors are spearheading the way. So, we have decided to give this important, overlooked and sometimes maligned genre a bit of a boost with 3 special features this month.
Firstly, we have one of THE industry aficionados, Maxim Jakubowski, choosing his Top 10 British Sci-Fi writers, then we have a profile on a brand new Sci-Fi publisher ‘Angry Robot’.
And finally, our Sci-Fi and Horror regular monthly category has had a makeover and it now has even more amazing reads.
So, if you already love Sci-Fi you will be in paradise, if not then give it a try, risk free, by reading one of our dozens and dozens of free Opening Extracts. As they say – recessions are the best time to innovate.
Last, but not least, this month sees the start of the Dagger Awards season the most prestigious Crime Awards bar none. There are a myriad of different categories, including Silver, Gold, Platinum and Diamond, up for grabs over the coming months and we will be following them in a special section on our site.
