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.

My reading challenge for myself is to ONLY read non-fiction books throughout the entire month!

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!

Book One - Hope by Tom Parker
Book Two - Caught in the Act by Courtney Act
Book Three - Part of My World by Jodi Benson
Book Four - I don't need Therapy by Toni Lodge
Book Five - London Falling by Patrick Radden Keefe
Book Six - You, Me & ADHD by Sam Thompson
Book Seven - I Love the Bones of You by Christopher Eccleston
Book Eight - When Gavin Met Stacey and everything in between by Ruth Jones & James Corden
Book Nine - Friends, Lovers and the Big Terrible Thing by Matthew Perry

Gavin and Stacey

Sunday 27th Sep
When Gavin met Stacey and everything in between, was the book I wanted and expected it was everything! 

From the creators and script writers @ruthjonesgenuine & @j_corden! Written in a conversation style between the two of them, it gave you a fly on the wall feel, and I was obsessed!

Hearing all the hidden stories behind the show, things that did and didn't happen and the thought process, learning how Gavin and Stacey became a thing was brilliant. As a huge fan this book gave me just enough secrets, past stories to keep my smiling!

Highly recommend this if your a Gavin and Stacey Fan!

P.s. don't forget, I'm raising money for teenage cancer trust by just reading non fiction books throughout September! I'm £40 away from my target!

My First Read

Tuesday 1st Sep
Hey all, 

So today is the day my challenge begins! I am super excited to read LOTS of amazing non-fiction books on my list. Today I will be starting with Tom Parker from The Wanted's book 'HOPE' who sadly passed away a few years ago, 

I have been putting it off, knowing it would be a sad one but I really want to read about what he has been through before he passed away. 

Thank you to my Sponsors
