Book Club Day UK - History Rewritten Publisher Picks

To help book clubs, librarians and teachers to celebrate Book Club Day UK (11 September), our publisher partners have picked some of their latest titles for a brand new booklist with the theme History Rewritten.

Book Club Day UK is a time to share the joy of being part of a book club, to encourage new clubs to form and to help support existing book clubs with their next meeting so that even more people will discover how book clubs build stronger, more connected communities so these books a perfect way to engage readers who love history.

Our publisher partners have shared three words to describe each book and content warnings to help you decide if the book is for your club. We would also love to hear what books you’d recommend for the list on social media using #booklist and tagging readingagency.

This booklist has been collated from publisher picks and has not been created by The Reading Agency as it has not followed our Book Selection Framework applied to programme content. You can see our previous themed booklists here.
