June

The theme for June is Go Reads.

This month we will be reading all sorts of things describing journeys, adventures and experiences of new places.   We will be reading things that make us dream of far off destinations and help us imagine or remember particular senses of place from all over the world.  Our desire for new experiences will be stimulated as we encounter exotic locales that we have never before imagined or explored, but we might also discover travel writing, fiction and non fiction that reminds us of all those special places in our lives, encouraging feelings of nostalgia and gentle homesickness that feed into our longing to go out into the world and experience it to the fullest.

You can join us and tweet about what you are reading in June using the twitter hashtag #goreads.  You can also use this tag on other social media sites such as flickr or when you post about your reading on your blog.

You might also want to add tags for each month’s reading to Trove, Library Thing, and your library catalogue (if that is possible) – so that other people can see what you are reading.

So as winter sets in we hope you will join us in exploring the world from armchairs everywhere – fueling your own wanderlust as you read and share your travel titles during #goreads.
