Embark on a literary journey in 2024 with Denise's must-read book recommendations.

When we're kids, it seems that reading time comes naturally to us, whether at home or school.

In her most recent novel, Miss Benson’s Beetle, Rachel Joyce returns to her rare breed of protagonist. Trampled by life’s unfairnesses, unseen and unknown, until an unexpected and perhaps unwelcome moment of self-realisation sets them forth into the world, searching, under the guise of an unconventional adventure, for their lost selves. 

That’s right, ladies. We’ve got together to create our very own ULTIMATE C Word reading list - this can be novels, non-fiction, poems, short stories, haiku’s.

This June, the #CWORDREADS book we want everyone to get reading is Educated, by Tara Westover.
