New books by top authors for only £1.00 – to encourage more people to read.
Here is a great initiative – try to support and help with this mission: Quick Reads, which has a huge impact on helping thousands of adults improve their literacy, will be encouraging adults to ‘start a new chapter’ in 2013. A new website is expected to launch at the end of October, where full details of the six new titles will be available:
- Andy McNab – Today Everything Changes
- Kathy Lette – Love is Blind
- Simon Kernick – Wrong Time, Wrong Place
- Minette Walters – A Dreadful Murder
- Veronica Henry – A Sea Change
- Mike Tucker – Doctor Who, The Silurian Gift
These books are bite-sized novels which are clearly printed and presented.
Since its launch in 2006, Quick Reads has sold and distributed over 4 million books through supermarkets, bookshops, workplaces and prisons. NIACE has led the outreach work since the start of the initiative and continues to work with employers and workplaces to encourage adults to read more and improve their skills.
