Hayley Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 Has anybody heard of/ is anybody participating in this ‘Big Jubilee Read’ that the BBC and Arts Council are doing? https://readinggroups.org/big-jubilee-read I have to admit, I’ve hardly read any of the books in any of the decades… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would have been good if the BBC had put it on a prominent place on their website. Having said that, the only book related thing I've seen on their website main page recently are plugs for their god-awful books programme Between the Covers.

Yeah it really wasn’t well advertised! I don’t actually want to do it as a challenge but I’ll definitely use it to find out more about some of the books I hadn’t heard of. Also realised after I posted it that the link wasn’t the one I’d originally seen - the bbc version has more information: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/articles/4RNfHvd2sxNlHDFFqzTGVKc/the-big-jubilee-read-2012-2022 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willoyd Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 I've only read 2-3 from each decade (other than the 50s, where I've read none!), but quite a few are on my list to read for my Read Around the World challenge. Having done a bit of research around that, this actually looks to be a very interesting list, and I will use it to guide me to other titles.
