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!

My Updates

Book 14 finished

Monday 28th Sep
I managed to read ten extra books this month which is fabulous but I messed up and read the fourth book in the series instead of the third 😂 oh well never mind (Dorothy has a cat in this one… who knew?)

Book 13 done and dusted

Sunday 27th Sep
I’m coming to the end of the challenge and so far I’ve read 9 books more than I set out to read. I’m hoping I can squeeze at least one more in to make it ten more!

Book 12 complete

Saturday 26th Sep
I’m back on track with my reading and managed to complete two books today!

Book eleven completed

Saturday 26th Sep
After four days in bed unwell I finally managed to complete book eleven of the challenge. At the start of September I had four books picked out to see me through the month but I have more than doubled that! Onto book twelve

Book ten finished

Saturday 19th Sep
After being poorly most of the week, it’s taken me twice as long as it should’ve to read this one. Another Cecilia Ahern book with another one to follow…

Book nine completed

Tuesday 15th Sep
This is a must read for any 90s pop fan… we all know who ‘The Manager’ is…

Book eight completed

Sunday 13th Sep
Another Cecilia Ahern book, if only I could unread all her books just so I could read them all for the first time

Book seven done and ready for the next

Sunday 13th Sep
A book by one of my favourite authors and tomorrows book is also by Cecilia Ahern I have followed her career from the start all because I picked up her very first book by chance and thought I’d give it a read… it cost me a lot of money over the years 😂😂

Book six done

Friday 11th Sep
Another book down… a nice easy read for this one, read it in a few hours!

Book five complete

Thursday 10th Sep
Such an emotional book with a twist at the end! Highly recommend it! Thank you so much to everyone who has donated so far!!

Book four complete

Monday 7th Sep
This took me a little bit longer than I expected as I needed to focus on work for a couple of days as we had a big visit out… this was a nice easy read, a lot of the stories I’d read before in his and Shirlie’s book or Pepsi and Shirlie’s book. Onto book five…

Book 3 complete

Sunday 6th Sep
Fourth book of the Dollanganger series finished but third book of the challenge! Book four is a lighter read…

Book two

Friday 4th Sep
Book two completed… Took longer than I thought to complete this one, onto book 3 which is the last in the Dollanganger series

Book one completed…

Wednesday 2nd Sep
First book of the challenge done and dusted!

Day One… Book One

Tuesday 1st Sep
I certainly won’t be able to read a book a day but I’ve started my first book of the challenge!
It’s Petals On The Wind, the second book in the Dollanganger series. I had already started it so I’ve ’skim read’ the parts I already had and caught up to where I had left off. 
I’m not chooosng to read ‘X amount of pages a day’ as some days I’ll have time to read two or three chapters other days it’ll be five or six (or more)… wish me luck!!

September challenge

Monday 17th Aug
As you know I love reading and early this year I challenged myself to read as many books as possible, I’ve slipped lately and got stuck at reading book 17. What better way to spur me on than a charity! I don’t expect everyone to sponsor me and the target I’ve set is the minimum allowed. Any donation would be appreciated!
