September Reading Challenge

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!

Thank you so much to everyone who donated! It is genuinely appreciated so much. My original goal was £250, which we reached, so I adjusted the goal close to the end of the month to £300 and it’s now sat at £299.81. So practically £300 😃

📋My goals for the challenge were:

- Raise at least £250 ✅ - we raised over this!

- Read 15 - 20 books (my most read month so far is August with 19 books) ✅ - I reached exactly 15. Not the 20 I was hoping for, but I’m still happy with 15, especially with doing my NEBOSH at the same time.

- Explore book genres other than my usual fantasy and romance ✅ - I explored more into horror and mystery/thrillers.

- Complete a 12-hour readathon, possibly 2 if I’m able to ❌ - this I didn’t manage to do. I had no time to. But I did complete a couple of mini 4-hour readathons along with my friends.

- Create a September TBR and stick to it (I’ve made this, just need to actually stick to it now…) ❌ My September TBR had 8 books and I read 6.5 of them before the month ended. I’ve since finished the one I had completed half of, so just 1 was never finished.


I can't wait to take part again next year! :)

September TBR

Tuesday 1st Sep
My September TBR for my reading challenge📚 For the September reading challenge, this is my main pick of books. I will be reading more than these to fulfill my 15 - 20 book challenge, but these are the main ones I want to make sure I get through. Thank you to everyone who has showed any form of support so far ❤️

September Challenge

Monday 31st Aug
📋My goals for this month are:
- Raise £250
- Read 15 - 20 books
- Explore book genres other than my usual fantasy and romance 
- Complete a 12 hour readathon, possibly 2 if I’m able to
- Create a September TBR and stick to it

I plan to post throughout the month to keep everyone up to date, and one if my first posts will be posting my September TBR. It won’t have all 15 - 20 books, but will have a selection of different books on it from different genres which I plan to stick to.
