Not me with too many books to choose from on #Take10ToRead day 🤭
It’s organised by the National Literacy Trust, but I think you’re supposed to read one at a time…

A Little History of the World by E.H. Gombrich is a history book for all ages that we’re really proud to have published.
This extract only takes a few minutes to read & could be your first step to a lifelong love of history!

Today is #Take10ToRead day, a reminder that taking even 10 minutes a day to relax through reading can really raise your mood and decrease your stress.

My favourite places to read are on the train, in bed and when I’m eating by myself. You can maybe guess where my reading time today is taking place!

Reading is my end of day comfort zone. You can’t dwell on your own problems when you’re surrounded by book characters living out their own before your very eyes!
Tomorrow, I'm joining the Literacy Trust to #Take10ToRead at 10am, in support of World Mental Health Day.
October 9, 2025 at 9:27 PM
I read to find my place in the world, escape the world, find new worlds. Always have. Today I will #take10toread #ReadMCR with National Literacy Trust @theemmapress.bsky.social for World Mental Health Day.

We know the health benefits of #5aday when it comes to fruit & veg but how about the idea of a #library5aday?

5 minutes to yourself to read, relax & de-stress Try to fit in 5 a day, for your #Wellbeing

Even better: #Take10toread

Did you know reading for just 6 minutes can significantly reduce stress? If you're feeling stressed try relaxing on your lunch break with a good book! 😌📖 #StressAwarenessMonth

This #WorldMentalHealthDay we’re embracing #ReadingforWellbeing, using the National Literacy Trust’s #Take10toRead idea.

So at 10am, we ‘downed tools’ and spent 10 minutes reading. A moment of calm in an otherwise busy day.

Today, I'll be performing #WeAreFamily at St. Chrysostum's Primary School and Manchester Central Library, promoting the #Take10ToRead campaign with @manclibraries, #ReadMCR and National Literacy Trust.

I'll also be trying to squeeze in my own 10 minutes to read! I hope you'll be doing the same! 📚
