Dear Readers,

When we read a book in its original language, we become acquainted with its true essence and meaning. Additionally, we have the opportunity to intensively improve our language skills. The staff of the Further Education Information Service at the library provides lists of books in English as part of the Book of the Week project. This project aims to connect the usefulness of learning with the pleasant and enjoyable activity of reading.

Let's participate and start reading!

    The Avery Shaw Experiment
    Kelly Oram


    The story is about the seventeen-year-old Avery, whose childhood best friend is Aiden. In addition to being friends since birth, she is in love with him and is already planning her future with him. But the boy overthrows the plans, when he asks for some space from Avery.

    The girl’s only solution is science: she wants to prove that by overcoming the seven phases of grief the broken heart can heal and she can be happy again. She wants to present this as her project at the state science fair. After  Aiden left the scientists' club, Avery is left all alone. All by herself she wouldn’t be able to do the experiment, therefore she asks for help from Aiden's older brother, the popular and handsome Grayson, who’s more than happy to help.

    He agrees mostly because of the girl, but a good private tutor (and extra credit) doesn’t hurt either, especially because he is failing in physics, and because of that he can’t continue playing basketball. Though Grayson handles this experiment a little differently than Avery does. He thinks that Avery doesn’t need to grieve, but learn to live without Aiden. But this is very difficult, when the girl has a severe panic disorder and frequently has panic attacks. This makes it really hard to form any kind of relationship with new people, especially if they are the school’s most popular students.

    This book is full of romance and it provides insight into everyday school life through the eyes of an anxious student, who has been forced to integrate into a whole new environment.
    This novel has a second part, called „The Libby Garrett Intervention”. It’s about Avery’s best friend, Libby and how she wants to get over a guy and her toxic relationship with him.

    The Dark Artifices- Lady Midnight
    Cassandra Clare


    Lady Midnight is the first book in Cassandra Clare's The Dark Artifices fantasy trilogy. The writer built a whole universe and has very similar books and book series. If you like books full of betrayal, interesting turn of events and excitement, then I really recommend her work.

    The story takes place in Los Angeles 5 years after the huge war between the shadowhunters and the fairies. Because of that a lot of people suffer, including our teen protagonists, Emma and Julian, who have to grow up really early.

    Emma wants to know everything about the murder of her parents and Julian has to look after and raise his three younger siblings, after his oldest sister is exiled and his older brother is taken by the fairies.

    After 5 years Mark, Julian’s older brother can return home, but only under one condition: the young shadowhunters have to find out who is the serial killer behind the murder of several fairies. They agree, but soon they meet with another problem, when they find out that Mark is not the same guy as 5 years ago. The world of the fairies is completely different then that of the humans, so it affects not only the boy’s behaviour, but also his aging (this means that he’s around the same age physically and mentally as his little brother, Julian).

    During their invetsigation, the young shadowhunters find out a lot of scary and horrible things and the most dangerous and gruesome ones, might be their own feelings.

    The Rotters' Club
    Jonathan Coe


    Reading a book is a frequently observed activity on the underground lines. There is no doubt that many people are reading paper books, but tablets are becoming more and more popular. Therefore it is not always possible to see what others are reading. But it is quite interesting because of the diversity of books. Yesterday on the M4 line I spotted two persons reading, a woman was reading the Speak, Memory by Nabokov, autobiographical memoir of his life. And in the hands of a young man I saw a book by John Le Carré, the British intelligence agent turned author.

    One of my choices would be The Rotters’ Club by Jonathan Coe - a novel about England in the '70s published in 2001. Coe also describes not only school rivalries of the youth but the clothes, the music and the hair of the decade. This is the story of a group of teenage school friends growing up in Birmingham when Margaret Thatcher was elected the leader of the Conservative party in 1975. Britain was going through the miners’ strike and power cuts, racial tensions, IRA violence. The young friends inherited the editorship of their school magazine. The teenage cluelessness is well illustrated in this scene, a chat on the Cold War:

    ‘Why is Berlin divided, anyway?’ Philip asked.‘I've always wondered that.’ ‘I don't know… I suppose there’s a river through the middle of it, isn't there? Like the Thames. I expect it’s the Danube or something.’

  • An Abundance of Katherines by John Green
    This week a young adult novel is chosen as Book of the Week.

    An Abundance of Katherines
    John Green


    John Green is an American author, born in 1977 in Indiana. You may have heard about him in relation to Paper Towns, his most famous book, or the YouTube channel Crash Course, where he makes educational videos about topics such as history, politics, or astronomy. But what makes him one of my favorite writers is his style of writing and that even though it is fictional, it has a logical component besides the love and adventure. Despite Paper Towns and The Fault in Our Stars are the only ones, which got adapted into films, my personal favorite is An Abundance of Katherines. The protagonist is Colin Singleton, a child prodigy, who is desperately afraid of not becoming exceptional. But just as the novel starts, he gets dumped by his 19th girlfriend. His 19th girlfriend names Katherine, just as the previous 18. Follow Colin's journey of figuring out the equation of being dumped (for which Green actually worked together with a mathematician), finding his 20th girlfriend, and realizing what it really means to be exceptional.

    Abigail
    Magda Szabó


    Magda Szabó’s Abigail has become one of the most popular books in Hungary; it was originally published in 1970, and translated into English by Len Rix only in 2020. The Hungarian bestseller has been shortlisted for the 2020 Warwick Prize for Women in Translation.
    The real specialty of the novel, which is considered to be a book for girls, is shown by the fact that even teenage boys like to read it.
    The story is written from a teenager Hungarian girl’s point of view. She is called Gina, who was parented and educated broad-mindedly, but was sent into a rigid Calvinistic boarding-school to be hidden away from the danger of the Second World War and its Hungarian consequences. She spent her time with many other girls, and teachers with different backgrounds and thinking that gave rise to countless personal conflicts but Gina and the other girls were able to manage them successfully. The identity of the mysterious Abigail will become clear only at the very end of the story; who is hiding behind the figure of the statue in the school garden, helping the needy and the desperate, tender and kind when it comes to student pranks, but can also become a hero when lives are to be saved.

    The success of the famous and beloved novel resulted in a TV miniseries and the book has been adapted for a stage as a musical as well.
  • Murdoch Mysteries by Maureen Jennings

    Murdoch Mysteries
    Maureen Jennings


    The first three books of the famous crime series have arrived at the library!
    The reason why this book series is recommended is very unique; the television adaptation has become more successful than the book itself. The book (the crime series) was published in 1997 and then adapted for the TV series in 2004. The author Maureen Jennings (by whom the original book version was created) became known by the film adaptation.

    All three stories take place in Toronto, at the beginning in 1895, starring Detective William Murdoch, a staff member of the Toronto Police Department who solves crimes in ways that are utterly unusual at that time. Examples include fingerprint identification, blood testing, surveillance or criminal printing. In the stories, Murdoch creates prototype tools using contemporary technology that are also recognized by 21st century viewers.

    On one occasion, he asks a foreign police officer to send him a photograph using a telegraph, by marking each color on the grid placed on the capture with numbers, and send him the numbers too. In the end, the foreign police officer sends a bitmap image.

    Whatever platform you choose (book or movie), the story is very exciting, twisting and enjoyable. You can borrow the volumes from the library. Enjoy it!

  • Around the World in 80 Days by Michael Palin
    This week a travel literature is chosen as Book of the Week.

    Around the World in 80 Days
    Michael Palin


    Around the World in 80 Days – the title of this adventure novel, sounds like a challenge, means Verne’s popular book for many people.
    So, I would like to write about Michael Palin’s book: Around the World in 80 Days.
    This English gentleman firstly is a comic actor - he is a member of the Monty Python group -, a writer and traveller too. Palin’s first travel film was made in 1980 as part of a BBC TV series: Traveling on the World’s Great Railway Journeys of the World. He made lots of highly successful travel films for the BBC, spiced with well-placed jokes. Books and audiobooks were also made based on his travels.
    This book, published in 1989, is following in the footsteps of Verne's hero - Phileas Fogg, - and completing the mission that Jules Verne had dreamed of more than a century earlier. Palin managed to travel around the Earth in exactly 80 days!
    There was a rule through the journey, Palin could use only vehicles that Mr Fogg used. Therefore, use of aeroplanes was not allowed but steamliners don't exist anymore, so all of the long sea journeys had to be on container ships or freighters.
    To some extent the book is written like a diary. It is interesting to compare the places of the Verne novel with the places that Palin also met. Writing in his witty style, Palin paints a vivid picture of the people and places. It is amazing to travel with Palin and root for him to reach his goal. It is definitely considered as an adventurous guidebook.

    The book is available free to read online on

    The World According to Garp
    John Irving


    The World According to Garp is not an ordinary story. It features a lady who wants to have a child but does not want a father, so she pulls a trick. It features a boy conceived in strange circumstances who meets the love of his life very early but she declares that they only can get married if he becomes a writer. It includes the development of a writing career, which we not only follow, but we also can read the pieces. And if that’s not enough, this story is full of unexpected twists. Sometimes it’s grotesque, sometimes it’s surprisingly violent. Besides the great humour, the strongest value of this book is that it’s just like life: inconsistent, contingent, unfair and unfinished.

Meanwhile, we get to know Christopher’s way of thinking which is so fascinating, that the importance of the mysterious murder slowly fades away. Haddon’s novel provides insight into an autistic person’s mind and makes us understand how yellow or brown things can be scary, how a simple touch can become an abuse, what is comforting in numbers and how loneliness can provide complete security.
