Reading for pleasure : Fiction collection

Fiction Collection

A collection of contemporary fiction for both staff and students built from donations. 

Why read fiction?

'Reading fiction not only develops our imagination and creativity, it gives us the skills to be alone. It gives us the ability to feel empathy for people we've never met, living lives we couldn't possibly experience for ourselves, because the book puts us inside the character's skin.'                                            

Ann Patchett

If you have any fiction books in good condition that you would like to donate to the collection, please bring them into the library at any time.  

 

New in for September

Featured author - Freida McFadden

Freida McFadden is an international best-selling author who has written multiple psychological thrillers and medical humour books. She has written more than 25 novels which have been translated into 40 different languages. She is a practicing physician who specialises in brain injuries. Freida lives with her family and black cat in a centuries-old three-story home overlooking the ocean, with staircases that creak and moan with each step, and nobody could hear you if you scream. Unless you scream really loudly, maybe.

To hear Freida talk about herself more in the third person, visit her website.
