Getting Ready for the Birmingham Big City Read

We’re very excited to be working with Birmingham Libraries and Transworld Publishers on their Birmingham Big City Read. Launching tomorrow, 1000 copies of Before I Go To Sleep by S J Watson will be set free in Birmingham for people to read, review and pass on to a friend. Here are all the books getting ready to be let loose on the readers of Birmingham!

Watch out for the special page we’ll be doing on Reading Groups for Everyone for the Birmingham City Read – you’ll be able to post your reviews and we’ll be doing lots of updates on what is happening.

It features a wide range of titles and authors, recommending great reads from both new and much-loved writers, encouraging listeners to perhaps try out a genre they might not have read before, and share their opinions and insights on the titles and great reads they’re enjoying right now.
