Introduction by Pat Bui
It was a fine Thursday morning - the sun was shining down on me as I checked UBIQUE’s team email. Bored out of my mind because Google Meets are useless, I was hoping for something interesting in our inbox (because I’ve checked the fuck out of my own emails)… and that was when I stumbled upon an email from one of our beloved librarians, Nell Day. Ms Day had contacted us to let us know that next week would be… Book Week? And they’re planning on celebrating from home? And they want us to celebrate with them? …
So naturally, as UBIQUE loves anything to do with books and literature, I replied yes without hesitations (obviously I had to discuss this with our team and honestly I took a few business days to reply but this sounds better :D).
Therefore, welcome to our ‘Book Week’ feature! Other than our multiple ‘Book Profiles’ we’ve done as a team and some “recommendations” from UHS’ English department, we’ve got some articles provided by our lovely library crew themselves. These can also be accessed on their Instagram feed, but since some people don’t have social media (because healthy lifestyle, can’t be me though) we’ve decided to help our librarians share their recommendations far and wide and publish their posts as short fun articles you guys can read here.
For Part Two, we hear from the book experts themselves, where they share their recommendations with us. In Part One of two articles, our librarians have reached out to UHS’s teachers and staff to ask them what their favourite book is, which can be accessed by a button below. If you are a bookworm yourself and are constantly searching for more books to read, make sure you follow @uhs.libary for many recommendations. Now on with the article :)
ms oder
Ms Oder has an obsession: she collects copies of The Secret History by Donna Tartt, because she’s a sucker for a murder on a University campus.
MS DAY
MS WARD
Ms Day’s green thumb has Louis Glowinski to thank, and her copy of The Complete Book of Fruit Growing in Australia. She turns to it in times of fruit crisis!
When she needs a bit of a comfort read, Ms Ward turns to David Sedaris: he’s witty and funny, and full of insightful and absurd stories.
Ms Fisher
Ms Versteegen
Ms Fisher recommends White Heat by Marco Pierre White, for some insight into the gritty world of one of the best chefs ever.
Ms Versteegen has loved travelling to Italy since she first read A Thousand Days in Venice by Marlena de Blasi - what better way to indulge your travel bug while stuck at home?
