What our readers say
I’ve come away with a list of at least five great books to buy from every issue of Strong Words, and it has quickly become my most trusted source of recommendations.
Like most people I feel I ought to read more, but it’s easy to make excuses not to. Strong Words has given me the focus and the motivation to be a much more active reader. And I now feel I know a lot more about books than I did.
Strong Words is a brilliant mag if you’re a book lover. I’d never come across it before. Like the LRB but for normal readers who like a mix of commercial and literary fiction.
“I love Strong Words. More please!”
“I like the look of this Strong Words, and not just because they put Moneyland in their top ten books of 2018.”
“Strong Words has a contagious, all-embracing love of books – from mass market to niche – and roams the waterfront panning for gold in the monthly stream of new publications. It’s sharp, concise and fantastically useful, an entertainment in itself.”
“Strong Words provides a valuable service in highlighting books you’ll enjoy reading – as opposed to the ones you enjoy telling people you’ve read.”
“Strong Words is a magazine for people who want to be informed, entertained, provoked. And it comes with an elusive and magical quality that all great magazines have – it gives readers something they didn’t know they wanted.
