September Reading Challenge

Donate to Hannah and help them hit their goal of £150!

I'm taking on a Reading Challenge in September for Teenage Cancer Trust

This September, I'm taking on my own reading challenge and raising funds to help ensure no young person faces cancer alone. I'm taking on the challenge for Teenage Cancer Trust, the only UK charity who provides specialised nursing care and support for young people with cancer. I'd be grateful for your support.

Your donation, big or small, makes a difference. £25 could pay for an hour with a Youth Support Coordinator to help a young person cope with anxiety and isolation during cancer treatment. 

Thank you!

Ten Books in September (06/09)

Sunday 6th Sep
Just a quick post to say that, in order to make it a little bit more challenging, that I am aiming to read ten books in September.
So far, I have read one- a short story anthology called Standing Her Ground: Classic Short Stories by Trailblazing Women.
Book number two is Educated by Tara Westover, and is progressing well (aiming to finish by the end of the day).
