12 Reasons you should Read
(at least) 12 books this year
1. Reading is good for your brain
“Reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body.” Joseph Addison penned this quote roughly 300 years ago, before modern science and research equipment could back up his claim. Today, however, scientific studies show that reading does make you smarter. Reading a novel, for example, increases the blood flow and improves connectivity in the brain.
2. Reading introduces you to new ideas and invites you to solve problems
Have you ever solved a case in a mystery book before you read the conclusion or predicted a turn of events in a novel? Your analytical thinking was stimulated merely from reading. Reading helps you detect patterns, solve problems, and assimilate new information as if you were living in the characters’ shoes.
3. Reading makes you a better writer
When you read, your brain absorbs good writing techniques and vocabulary. In your own writing, you will unconsciously copy the writing styles of books that held your attention. Reading also enhances your vocabulary and spelling. New words appear in their natural context and you can deduce meaning from the surrounding words, while visually imprinting their spelling for accurate recall.
4. Reading improves your conversational skills
Because reading increases your vocabulary and your knowledge of how to correctly use new words, reading helps you clearly articulate what you want to say. The knowledge you gain from reading also gives you lots to talk about with others.
5. Reading strengthens worldview and convictions
When you read a book with a concurring worldview, it reinforces your convictions. If you read a book with an opposing worldview, it broadens your perspective and causes you to examine your beliefs and search for truth.
6. Reading improves your self-discipline and consistency
With the modern barrage of media and instant technological information, our attention spans are getting shorter and shorter. Reading a book, unlike skimming a web page, forces you to focus. To get the most out of a story, you must fixate on the plot and complete the book. In doing this, your brain forms deep connections and practices concentration.
7. Reading increases your knowledge of history
Reading can teach you historical politics, customs, cultures, economics, and intellect. Often these facts are set in a context of a story, making history easy to remember.
8. Reading increases cultural knowledge (without an expensive plane flight)
Reading books set in cultures different from our own provides knowledge of those cultures and the emotional and spiritual lives of the people who live there.
9. Reading challenges your imagination
As you read, you put yourself in the characters’ shoes. Your brain goes beyond the words on the page, imagining details such as appearances, emotions, and surroundings. William Styron wrote, “A great book should leave you with many experiences, and slightly exhausted at the end. You live several lives while reading.”
10. Reading increases your skill in an area of interest
Reading about your specific field or interests can improve your success in your field. You’ll gain factual knowledge and learn from others’ experiments and mistakes.
11. Reading inspires you
Reading a good book is like being around an inspiring person. You observe inspiring actions, feel contagious passion, and desire to live a better life.
12. Reading reduces stress
Reading about something you enjoy or losing yourself in a good novel is an excellent way to relax. It can ease tension in your muscles and heart while letting your brain wander to new ideas and live in someone else’s shoes. Reading is a mini vacation for your brain!
As you can see, reading is good for you - very, very good for you. It can improve your academic, social, physical, and mental life. With these persuasive facts running through your mind, it's the perfect time to create your own reading goals!

Book Reviews from Students
Goodnight, Boy by Nikkie Sheehan
“Goodnight, Boy” is a story of a young boy named JC and a dog named Boy. It’s a story of two different worlds and emphasises hope, loss, love, and forgiveness.
JC is a boy who has lost his family while living in a rough country, and when an earthquake turns his country to dust, JC thinks all hope is lost. But when he meets a doctor named Melanie who has come to his country to help people, he doesn’t know his life’s about to change. He gets to go home with Melanie and live with her and her husband, who is really bad-tempered, and everything is fine until Melanie has to leave for some time, and JC does something bad - the worst thing he’s ever done in his life. He is banished to live in the dog kennel with his best friend, Boy, and spends his hours and days telling his story to him, hoping he’ll soon be let out.
My favorite character in the story is probably JC because he is a tough boy who, despite losing everything, still tries to help himself and people around him. He is caring and makes the best of situations, even if they are the darkest problems. The story and the characters felt so real, the story kept me guessing and as the puzzle of the book fit together, my fingers couldn’t stop turning the pages, I was that eager to find out what would happen. It’s sad to know that a boy has to act grown-up in his childhood, and that he grew up in an environment which was dangerous and hard to cope with. A part of the story I particularly liked was near the ending of JC’s story, when he explained the reason for his banishment because it was tense and I felt dragged into the drama and the atmosphere of the scene.
I think the most unique fact about “Goodnight, Boy” is that it isn’t written line after line. It’s written creatively in a poetic sort of way and it brings the feeling that you can actually hear the conversation between JC and Boy, and I like this because it stretches my mind more and allows me to think of the story and guess what could happen next. However, the thing I didn’t like as much would be the fact that the story didn’t really explain what happened to some characters, so it was sort-of a cliffhanger, which can make the reader start wondering what would have happened to a specific character. It can confuse a reader sometimes.
Overall, “Goodnight, Boy” is a highly recommended book for young adult readers and it is simply stunning. It’s so unique and gives the lesson that hope is really important at rough times, and that’s sometimes all you need. Available in The Library

Set in an almost hopeful 2030 where humanity has taken great leaps to avoid climate disaster, passing Universal Climate laws and creating Wilderness Zones to save wildlife and absorb carbon, but one where the recovery is still all too fragile. Rory accompanies her mother, an environmental geologist, to the Arctic Wilderness Zone to approve Greenlight’s plans to extract from there the rare earth metals which will be used for ‘clean’ transport and technology. They discover a tiny, remote community, which is fascinatingly based upon the real Pyramiden in Svalbard, left behind when traditional mining ceased. These forgotten people live in harmony with their harsh, dangerous yet beautiful environment and its precious wildlife, but many are now becoming increasingly suspicious about Greenlight’s activities. Isolated and ignored by the locals, Rory experiences physical dangers and unsettling supernatural events before she teams up with local boy Mikkal and in a dramatic and tense conclusion, they have to uncover and reveal the truth of what is going on to her mother and the world authorities before it is too late.

In the present-day, Abi’s passion for eco-activism has got her into trouble, but she remains set on gathering environmental intel using a sophisticated quantum AI computer designed to collect and analyse ecological data, a machine her little sister names Moonlight. During a family holiday to her grandmother’s remote Norwegian island, Abi discovers her great-grandfather’s connection to - and rejection of - the whaling industry. Through his recordings and diaries, and with the help of Moonlight, Abi realises that whale song is more than mere song - the songs are maps. But, with Moonlight’s owners on her trail, time is running out.
With Abi’s quest bound up in the interconnectedness of life on earth, and the urgent need to protect and restore the web of life, it has profound power that’s passed down the generations when we meet her thirty years later, along with her daughter Tonje.
In Tonje’s story, mother and daughter are searching for whales. Though the sea is silent and the world’s ecosystems are failing, hope comes and Tonje takes up the mantle of her mother’s work.
Packed with action and a marvellous coming together of nature, technology and the inspirational dedication of young eco-activists, this will have huge appeal for readers who love all-out, character-driven adventure stories, and those who are into environmental themes. Available in The Library

Renowned for her empathetic novels Raúf has created an easy to read, or dip into, non-fiction title for children to help them understand how, as individuals, we all can do small things that will make a positive difference in this world. Presented in a chatty, personal, and engaging way that invites the reader in and encourages thinking about personal actions. The introduction and ‘Five Golden Rules’ set the scene for a book that allows for a great deal of personal evaluation as well the option to be the person you uniquely are.
The chapters cover many aspects of these topics including the power of kindness and hope; fighting for the things that matter; the importance of friendship; and deflecting negative forces, amongst a wealth of other topics. Each chapter has an example of a famous person who exhibited the skill or trait discussed in the chapter, so it is easier for children to see how their actions might make them more like Malala, or Einstein, or Greta, or Adele or many others. The illustrations – all in greyscale are plentiful, fun, and informative in equal measure.
The final chapter is an invitation to reflect – using the legend of Arthur as a stimulus for this. Available in The Library

Can her adoptive father keep her safe by staying hidden deep in the forest? And what part can she play in bringing colour back to everyone?

Goodnight, Boy Book Review (The second book review of the same book)
What I expected from the book. I expected the book to be a little bit more descriptive of what has happened in JC’s life, but in the stories he told he breaks down his key moments throughout the book by being straightforward and not describing his life as much as I thought he would. But you cannot have everything you want in a story. The author still tried really hard to add these bits in though.
What is the genre of the book? The genre of the book is young adult fiction. What this tells us about the book is that it shows Jean Caleb (JC) explaining his challenging issues that he had to tackle himself, which teaches us that life has unexpected twists and turns. This book is for ages 12+.
The plot of Goodnight Boy. The plot of Goodnight Boy is about a boy named Jean Caleb who was born in a place called the riverbeds with his older and younger brother’s, but one day a man in a suit, who knew his mother, asked him if he would like a ride home and he said yes but he did not know that they were going to abandon him once they got the chance. So after they dumped JC at the Sweet Angel Orphanage his hair got shaved off and he ended up making a good friend in the Orphanage.
The main characters in the story are Jean Caleb, Boy, Melanie and one unnamed character who is the husband of Melanie and also soon to be stepfather of JC. I enjoyed this book alot because it has a lot of laughs, a lot of drama and quite a lot of heartwarming messages towards the readers. That is why I encourage others to read this book as well so it can have the same effect on others as it had on me. One scene I really enjoyed in the book was when his new father’s sister spoke to JC over the fence saying that she thinks JC’s new father might have killed his actual son. I recommend this book to people who like drama because this book is filled with it.
I can compare this book to Goodnight Mr Tom because it had a lot of sad parts in it as well and it was very uplifting as well as Goodnight Boy because it teaches people very valuable lessons and life skills. Overall I urge others to read this book because you can see how people are actually living in different conditions. The moral of this story is to be grateful for everything you have because some people have nothing. I would give this book a rating of 4 stars. Available in The Library

Do you have any advice for budding writers?
Every writer is different. Here’s what I do. I try to live a life that is interesting. I fill my memory full of living. I go places, meet people, read books, all sorts of books. I look, I listen and I learn. I explore the world about me, explore my feelings and explore the feelings of others. I fill my head with all there is out there, the good, the bad, the lovely and the ugly, the funny and the sad. From all this comes ideas, notions, that are the seeds of my stories.
To grow the seeds I do my dream-time, and this means I find out all I can about my growing story, from people who know, from books, from memories.
Then when I’m ready, I sit on my bed, pick up my pen and tell the story down onto the page, not worrying about it, not anxious about spelling or grammar, I just tell it down as if telling it aloud to my best friend, telling it from the heart, meaning every word.
I write only in the mornings when my mind is fresh and clear. Later I read it though, correcting this and that, hearing the sound of the story out loud, as you might hear the sound of the sea, with every sentence a wave coming in and breaking on the shore.
Then when I’ve finished the whole story I give it to Clare who’s my wife and my best friend. She tells me what she thinks and I listen! I don’t always agree, but you can do that with best friends.
What is the best advice you’ve been given?
Ted Hughes once told me never to look at a blank page before you’re ready to begin your story but to dream it out first in your head, so that when you write your ‘once upon a time’ you know where you’re going, even if you don’t know how to get there, or what will happen when you do. The writing will take you there. So sit down and write!
Who has been your inspiration as a writer?
Robert Louis Stevenson, who wrote “Treasure Island” and many different kinds of books. He wrote adventure books for young readers, serious and dark novels for adults, poetry, and travel books for everyone. He was the first writer whose stories I really believed as I was reading them. I became the characters, knew the hills, the islands, the seas he wrote about so well because he took me there with his words.
Did you write as a child?
No. I tried not to because it was always at school that I had to write. My handwriting was untidy, my spelling was hopeless, my grammar useless, and my teacher kept telling me with her red pencil slashes and with my low marks out of ten, that my stories were no good. So, I’m afraid I rather gave up on writing.
I didn’t find my voice and my confidence until years later when I was a teacher myself, trying to encourage children in my class to write down their stories and poems. We did it together and then if they liked to they read their work out loud, and I did the same. I liked that more and more, and that’s really how I became a storyteller and a writer.
What was your favourite book as a child?
My mother used to sit on my bed at bedtime and read me the stories and poems she liked best. She always read very beautifully, bringing life and music to the words. I loved what she loved. Her favourite story and mine was, “The Elephant’s Child” from Rudyard Kipling’s “Just So Stories”. It’s about how one day, in a world before elephants had trunks, a baby elephant acquired one and how useful it turned out to be. Read it, you’ll love it! Because of this story, I think, elephants have always been my favourite animal. And because of that I’ve written two novels about elephants, Elephant in the Garden and Running Wild.
My mother’s favourite poem, and mine, the one she read most often, was “The Owl and the Pussycat” by Edward Lear. I’ve just written a story about that poem. I called it “Owl or Pussycat”. Read it and you’ll find out why. Hope you enjoy it. It’s all true, by the way.
Happy writing, happy reading, happy dreaming!

We have a wonderful collection of non-fiction books in our Library, below are 10 facts that you might enjoy!
10 Facts About Non-Fiction
A non-fiction text is based on facts. However, the information might not be correct or could be biased depending on who wrote it.
A dictionary is a type of non-fiction text.
As well as non-fiction books, there are also non-fiction images and films.
Sometimes non-fiction facts can seem unbelievable. For example, koalas fingerprints are so similar to humans that they have been investigated at crime scenes!
Dr. Benjamin Spock’s book, ‘The Common Sense Book of Baby and Child Care’, sold over 50 million copies worldwide and is possibly the biggest selling non-fiction book of all time.
Rhetorical questions are used in some types of non-fiction texts. These are questions that are asked to make a statement and do not expect an answer.
An autobiography is an account of a person’s life, written by the person themselves. They are classed as non-fiction and contain facts, but some autobiographies might contain exaggerations to make things sound more exciting.
A biography is an account of a person's life written by another person.
There are two main types of newspapers: a broadsheet and a tabloid. Newspapers typically employ people known as fact-checkers, so they don't accidentally print something that's not true.
"Blog" is short for "web-log". A blog is a type of online diary, normally written in the first person for an unknown audience. A blog is often written partly for the author’s own benefit.
