How to choose your book

Booked Up 2008

How to choose your book

Still can’t decide which book to go for? Here are a few tips to help you choose:

  • Think about books you have a read and enjoyed recently

  • Think about whether you are looking for a long, satisfying book or short, snappy stories that you can dip into

  • Try telling your teacher or librarian about your favourite books and ask them which Booked Up title they think you’d enjoy

  • Ask your friends which book they think you’d enjoy, but try not to copy them. Make your own mind up!

  • Watch the Booked Up DVD and listen to the authors and Year 7s talking about the books on the list

  • Get an idea about what the book is like by reading extracts on our website

  • Remember - the choice is entirely yours.

When you’ve decided which one of these brilliant books you want, let your teacher or librarian know. Then all you have to do is sit back and wait for it to be delivered.

Booked Up is a Booktrust book gifting programme.
