Absolutely smashed my 2024 #YearOfReading. 79 books and 3 theses. A real variety of genres too - thanks to lots of library loans. Turns out finishing your #PhD means you can find time to #ReadForPleasure again.

Our members help #LibrariesChangeLives by promoting the life-changing benefits for children who #ReadForPleasure. Our new report found 90% of young people who worked to co-create activities felt more welcome in the library. It's why we promote amplifying young voices.

Please remember to celebrate book joy each & every day.

Reading isn't a competition, a race, or an obligation. It's a hobby, a way to connect, and a way to learn about yourself & others.

Let's respect how others read and be kind to ourselves.

Agreed! Wholeheartedly! #Reading will save us in the internet age.

Reading engenders #thinking about the truly important things in life, & if you're not looking for #philosophicalinsights in life, #readforpleasure.

Reading is fun. It's an escape. It will save us from the stupidity of humanity.
Buy a book.

Any book, it doesn't matter which. The one you've been looking forward to, the one with the title that made you laugh, the weighty award-winner you've been meaning to get to. Whatever.

Treat yourself. Step away from it all. In this time of gross ignorance & madness, read something.

I suppose that sometimes reading a subject you don't care about can be considered a form of pain.

Not quite ready to acknowledge that our little bout of summer-type weather is going to disappear soon and it'll be back to being rainy and chilly. So lovely to be in the garden with the hound and to #readforpleasure for a change, rather than for a deadline.
