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!

Day 10 - 10/9/2026

Thursday 10th Sep
Finished reading Heartstopper Volume 1 today. Also read another book I will put a post up for later. Very excited to read the other volumes.

Day 9 - 9/9/2026

Wednesday 9th Sep
Today due to work I was unable to make any progress however tomorrow I will be reading 2 books, the first one being Heartstopper. I have read this before but I've only read Volume 1 and it was about 3 years ago. In this challange I will have read all 6 Volimes by the end of the challange.

Day 8 - 8/9/2026

Wednesday 9th Sep
Yesterday I started this and managed to finish it later today. This book was fun. I dod find it a little hard to read some parts as it is a translation so names and location names of course remain in the original language so just with how I personally read it was a little tricky but besides that it was definitely a fun read.

Day 7 - 7/9/2026

Tuesday 8th Sep
Today I finished reading Roald Dahls Matilda. This was such a funny book on something pretty different to my typical genre. I already knew the character Matilda as a very funny, sweet and sometimes cheeky girl from the movies and musical but in the book she is a lot more of all of those and more. 100% worth reading the original Matilda especially if you already love the Movie and/or Musical

Day 6 - 6/9/2026

Sunday 6th Sep
Today I have gotten half way through book 3, Matilda by Roald Dahl. I am really enjoying this and it has been very interesting to see how different Matilda is in the original story compared to the Movie and Musical. Will put a full review up tomorrow when I finish

Day 4 and 5 Update

Sunday 6th Sep
I was unable to update properly on Day 4 and 5 but there has been some progress on the challange. I will be doing a proper blog update at the end of the day and on day 7 there will be a week progress update on my TikTok 😊

Day 3 - 3/9/2026

Thursday 3rd Sep
Another book started and finished today. This was a very fun quick read and touched on very important matters ((mainly racism)) it is a perfect short read book for all ages but one to check trigger warnings for before giving it a read.

Day 2 - 2/9/2026

Wednesday 2nd Sep
I have officially finished my first book of the challange. I am really enjoying Morgan Greenes books the more I read them and while this book doesn't beat A Place Called Hope for me it was still very enjoyable.

Day 1 - 1/9/2026

Tuesday 1st Sep
It's officially day 1 of the challange of 30 books in 30 days. Today has been a busy day but I have managed to get about half way through my first book. Very excited to continue on tomorrow 😊

Official Desicion On My September Challange

Saturday 29th Aug
I have decided that for my September change I will be attempting to read 30 books in 30 days. I will post daily updates here as well as on my TikTok ((lukegwynedd)) and book reviews on my TikTok and Instagram ((also lukegwynedd)) I have put a video up on my TikTok of the rules I am setting myself for the challenge 

Doctor Who - I Am a Dalek

Monday 24th Aug
Wasn't able to update or read much yesterday. Been mostly asleep as I wasn't well but I have picked my next read now. I have gone for a short quick read book and it's another DoctorWho book. Hopeing to finish this one very soon. UPDATE - I NEVER GOT ROUND TO READING THIS SO IT HAS BEEN ADDED TO MY 30 BOOKS IN 3P DAYS CHALLANGE FOR THE MAIN FUNDRAISER IN SEPTEMBER

Complete - Shirley Jackson and the Chaos Box

Saturday 22nd Aug
⭐️⭐️⭐️ This book was okay. Overall I love DoctorWho. It is my favourite franchise ever but this book didn't really hit it for me. It felt pretty rushed in some parts and some character descriptions just didn't seem to fit right or just felt inaccurate. I did enjoy the story but I have definitely read better DoctorWho books.

Doctor Who, Shirley Jackson and the Chaos Box

Friday 21st Aug
This is the next book I will be reading. I am currently 3 pages in ((not much but I fell asleep while reading 😅)) I planned for this to be an easy quick read as it is a shorter book. Update on the progress/final review ((whichever comes first)) coming soon.

Complete - A Place Called Hope

Wednesday 19th Aug
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ So yesterday I was on page 170 and today I closed the book on page 364 and officially finished the book. This is honestly one of if not the best book I have read and is the first book to bring me to tears. There was so many amazing characters and some brilliantly written villains/intimidating characters. 100% a book I would recomend and 1 that isn't easy to put down when you start reading.

A Place Called Hope - By Morgan Greene

Tuesday 18th Aug
This is the book I am currently in the middle of reading. At this stage I am on Part 2, Chapter 24, Page 170 I am currently at a very interesting and tense part of the story and can not wait to see where it goes. Also really hopeing my favourite character will be okay because safe to say he is really going through it at the moment.

Dyslexic Reading Challange

Tuesday 18th Aug
For 2026 I set myself a goal to read 50 books. I am Dyslexic and have always struggled with reading books especially bigger books/adults books. I wanted to do this to help myself improve but also to hopefully inspire others that despite dyslexia reading is still achievable. When I saw this Cancer support reading challange I knew it would be perfect to do along side my 2026 challange. I amreading multiple different types of books including those aimed more to teenagers as many are not only nostalgic but also easier to get through to help me complete my goal more realistically with my reading ability. To me a book is a book regardless. I hope through this campaign I can go into September continuing my 2026 reading challange while also raising money for Cancer Research. I am about half way through the book I am on at the moment ((A Place Called Hope by Morgan Greene)) and am very excited to complete it and go on to my next book which I will post about here. Thank you for aany support in this fundraiser weather it be through me or someone else's challange.
