Summer Reading
Pick the Perfect Poolside Read
The campaign
In June, July and August 150 libraries around the UK will be promoting our fantastic summer paperback programme to thousands of readers by creating summer reading displays, using materials we have supplied, and championing seven of our books. Each library will receive a pack that contains posters, shelf talkers, bookmarks, an ideas document and a set of the seven summer reads.
The Girl in the Spider’s Web (1-15 June)
Kitchens of the Great Midwest (16-26 June)
Last Dance in Havana (27 June – 10 July)
Florence Grace (11-24 July)
Asking For It (25 July – 7 August)
Love Notes for Freddie (8-21 August)
The Tenderness of Wolves (10th Anniversary) (22 August – 1 September)
Alongside recipe cards, extracts, reading group questions we'll also be hearing from editors and authors on their top summer reads, favourite settings and their best (and worst...) holidays.
Display competition
Libraries will be invited to take part in a display competition by tweeting us photos of their displays using the hashtag #QuercusSummer. The winning library will receive a summer hamper and Pimms set so it’s all to play for! We also have a data capture initiative running whereby readers can enter into a prize draw to win £200 travel vouchers and sign up to hear more from Quercus.
Blogger Book Club
We've teamed up with fifty influential bloggers who will be reading and reviewing three of our key summer titles between June and August. We'll also be hosting a competition to find the best photo of a Quercus summer read in a summer location, and entries will be in with a chance of winning an ultimate beach bag bundle.
