Update – deadline to send in your favourite stories is extended to midnight on Sunday 7 June! 

Do you have a favourite book that you just couldn’t put down? Perhaps it’s one that you’ve read recently, or a story that you just keep going back to – either way, we want to hear from you!

To celebrate National Share a-Story-Month, we’re encouraging colleagues across our campuses and centres to share their one all-time recommended read.

It could be a crime novel, a favourite childhood book or a work of non-fiction – the only essential is that it’s a book you’d love others to get lost in and enjoy a sense of escapism.  We will then pick 10 of the best recommendations and include them in a ‘Top 10 Books to read!’ feature on our staff home page.

What to do:

Please send the title of your one favourite story/book to stories@kent.ac.uk, along with  your name, the department you work in and a brief sentence/one line describing why it’s your ultimate read.

Send your recommendation by Friday 29 May – and who knows your much-loved book could be included in our Top 10 books feature!

We look forward to hearing from you soon.

Alice and Wendy, Corporate Communications
