LRC Lockdown Book Review Competition

Book Review Competition 

We are running a Book Review competition to see what PRC & UCP students have been reading during Lockdown. The prize for the best review, as judged by the LRC team, is a £10 Waterstones voucher; runners up will receive a book & book bag.

To enter students should email the LRC: lrc@peterborough.ac.uk with their book review, which can be written, drawn, photographed or videoed. Last date for entries is 31st May.

Tips for writing book reviews:

Writing a book review for the first time can be rather a daunting task. Try to imagine whilst you are writing that you are talking to a friend, who is asking you whether or not they should read the book.

Booktrust, UK based Reading Charity, asked Author Luisa Plaja, to share her top tips on how to review a book.

Whilst Book Riot, an independent editorial book site in America, recommended 6 steps to writing a book review.

To enter the LRC Lockdown Book Review competition, we are happy for you to choose how you would like to review your book. If a written book review is not for you, how about:

Creating a piece of art inspired by the book that you have read, illustrating how the book made you feel.

Sending in a photo review, using props or your family members to act out the plot and to show your favourite scenes.

Or you might like to send in a video of your review.

Ultimately however you decide to review your book, we are looking forward to receiving your entries and seeing which books you have been reading.
