Most campus libraries allow continuing students to borrow over the vacation period. The chilly winter weather is perfect for curling up in a warm, cosy spot and reading a book (or studying, of course!). See below for suggestions from Newcastle Campus Library for some great holiday reading.
Truth by Peter Temple
Over the course of a few sweltering summer days, Inspector Stephen Villani finds all the certainties of his life are crumbling. Truth is a novel about a man, a family, and a city, violence, love, murder, honour and deceit. And it is about truth.
