Do you remember the first time you met Mr Darcy, delved into the Da Vinci Code, or discovered Platform 9 ¾ at King’s Cross? Can you remember the thrill, the rush to read more, and the morning tiredness because you stayed up reading just one more chapter?
We want to hear about the books you love and the authors that shaped you.
As part of the Sheffield Year of Reading we’ve been asking you about your favourite books. Communities across Sheffield have been voting in our libraries and via our website and at the end of March we were going to tally up all the votes and come up with a shortlist. Unfortunately due to the current pandemic, the library has had to close until further notice! Fortunately this means we have extended the deadline, so you have more time to vote for your favourite read!
We want to find Sheffield’s favourite book and we need your help! Let us know your favourite book and who it’s by. You can do this via this webform, in the comments at
the bottom of the blog or in the comments on the relevant posts on our facebook,
twitter or Instagram account.

I have a pile of favourite books, but Pride and Prejudice and The Strange Library are right up there! Two completely different, but equally incredible books.
ReplyDeleteDiary of a Bookseller by Shaun Bythell. It's on our audiobooks. Not only is it an hilarious and interesting read, but it will lead you to so many more great books. Perfect for self-isolation times.
ReplyDeleteSomeplace to be Flying by Charles de Lint.
ReplyDeleteQuite partial to Michael Critchton's Dragon Teeth
ReplyDeleteOr David Mack's 3 part Destiny trilogy
Though really enjoyed J. Michael Straczynski autobiography Becoming Superman
