It’ll come as no great surprise to those who know me that my favourite book is
‘Frankenstein’ by Mary Shelley. I studied the novel in sixth form, and it has resonated
with me ever since, becoming my dissertation topic during my undergraduate degree.
The novel is famous for having sparked science fiction as we know it: the mad scientist
and abandoned creature have become longstanding icons in science fiction and
popular culture. If you’re a lover of science fiction or classics, it is definitely worth a read.

My favourite book is ‘The Novice’ by Taran Matharu, though really it is the whole
series because I love his writing style so much. The world is so immersive, the world
building is amazing, the characters and creatures he’s created are vibrant and alive.
FRAN MULVEY
I recommend ‘Fangirl’ by Rainbow Rowell and ‘How to Stop Time’ by Matt Haig. I had
a deep emotional connection with both books when I first read them and whenever I
want to read something that I’ve already read I always go back to these two novels. They
are both beautifully written and are books that once you start reading you can’t stop!
