September Reading Challenge

I'm taking on a Read-a-thon in September for Teenage Cancer Trust

This September, I'm taking on my own Read-a-thon 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!

Book 2 finished!

Tuesday 8th Sep
Annihilation by Jeff Vandermeer
It was really good, very intense and unsettling but relatively easy reading in that it was hard to put down! I'm going to have to read the sequels as soon as I'm done with my challenge because I need to know what happens!

I typically am not a huge fan of a non-fiction book, and this did drag in some points, but it was interesting to learn about a cyclist I have admired for several years, and find out that he's even more incredible than I thought!
