September Reading Challenge

Donate to Ella 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!

Day 23

Wednesday 23rd Sep
Thank you so much to everyone who has donated! 
This is a charity very close to my heart and every donation is massively appreciated! 

Since starting this challenge, I have read the following:
Beautiful world where are you?
It ends with us
Eleanor Oliphant is completely fine
The perks of being a wallflower
Butter
Elsewhere 

With a new book started called No one to miss me! Already 200 or so pages through and I am already hooked. 

Despite having plenty of time to reflect on each book read, I honestly couldn’t pick a favourite. 

Each one has left a great impression on me, especially those which explore topics of loneliness and reaching out for support. I can definitely recommend reading these books amongst other, more cheerful ones to minimise the tears!

Once again thank you :)

“Sometimes people use thought not to participate in life” 

Almost halfway! Day 11

Friday 11th Sep

After what feels like an eternity of reading and many, many tears shed, I am now three books deep :3

It Ends with Us is perhaps one of the most beautiful portrayals of what it means to live life as a survivor of abuse. An incredible story.

Just keep swimming ;)


Similarly, ‘Eleanor Oliphant is completely Fine’ has been an emotional rollercoaster. The emphasis that, regardless of our human needs being met, the most dangerous experience for all of us is loneliness.

I didn’t expect to read quite as much as I have been, but I have definitely learnt a lot about myself in the process and would highly recommend these books to anybody considering what to read next.

Thank you so much to everybody who has donated <3. 

Day Three!

Thursday 3rd Sep

Beautiful world, where are you? 

This book has been everything at this period in my life. The quiet simplicity of two yearning girls, struggling with the absence of clear meaning in life whilst remaining completely and undeniably in love with each other's souls - such a beautiful commentary on friendship, one which grows through the many obstacles of life as time goes on.

Onto reading It ends with us, I think am mentally prepared for how emotional this book will be. 

What is my September goal?

Wednesday 26th Aug
After moving back from uni, all I can think about is the large collection of books which I happily bought and never read.

My September aim is to make a dent in the ever growing pile of books which lay untouched, and to read throughout a major jaw surgery recovery process - hopefully read away the pain with the distraction of fictional pain?

Thank you to my Sponsors
