English Reading Lists Below are a series of reading lists to help guide students and parents towards making choices about the next book to read. We have a copy of all of these books in the library (unless they are already out on loan) that can be borrowed. This is not a prescriptive list but a guideline to help anyone who doesn’t know what to read next. We understand parents have often not known what to suggest so the lists are grouped by theme and also some are linked to moving on from popular authors.
