Books: windows on the emotions

Books: windows on the emotions is a project that has been established as a part of the National Year of Reading 2012.

Reading provides a rich opportunity for the exploration emotions, and this forum invites readers to consider how emotions are:

  • identified
  • described
  • represented
  • expressed, and
  • understood in books.

The online forum is designed for secondary students and focuses on young adult literature, however it welcomes the contribution of all readers.

The books under discussion will change regularly, so subscribe to be kept informed.
