At the weekend, I dusted off my trainers and managed to complete a half-marathon.

This wasn’t my first rodeo: several years ago, I had been a very enthusiastic runner and completed two half-marathons. I slipped out of practice though (long commutes will tend to do that) and my running shoes lay neglected in a corner of my flat for years. It was only recently, eager to find ways of seeing people while still keeping COVID-safe, I tentatively ventured back to my local parkrun and the rest is history.

Thomson Reuters are now looking for Legal Student representatives for the 2022/23 academic year to support Arden students and encourage more effective use of Thomson Reuters Resources, including Westlaw and Practical Law. Up to 70 representatives are hired across the UK each year.

Great paid opportunities available for existing Arden students to work with the Arden Library team to contribute to the provision of excellent quality teaching materials.

The role

We have a number of opportunities for students to work on a part-time basis, as Student Data Ambassadors alongside the Library team and module tutors.

This week, we asked our friends and colleagues across Arden's study centres to share what they're currently reading. We received so many submissions - reflecting such a plurality of tastes and genres - that it only feels right to compile them into one blog post.

We very much hope you find something to enjoy in this list.
