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!

It's #Take10toread from the National Literacy Trust - in support of #WorldMentalHealthDay 📚❤️ I'm a big believer in the healing power of reading and I'm ALSO a huge fan of wicked vampire books, which is why my personal next pick is THEY OWN THE NIGHT by @amymccawauthor.bsky.social! 🥰

Today, our staff and students took ten mindful minutes to relax and read together as part of the National Literacy Trust’s #Take10ToRead campaign for World Mental Health Day.

This World Mental Health Day, some of the EmpathyLab team have found a moment to take time to read or share a story to relax. Why not join us, boost your mood and enjoy the empathy-boosting effect of a great book. In just 10 minutes. Here are some of our favourites to choose from  #Take10ToRead

...which isn’t exactly relaxing, and has boosted my veins with fear and fury, but is absolutely worth reading, particularly on a day when people are thinking about books.

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…

#Take10ToRead today and every day. Reading is not just important for day-to-day living, but also for relaxation, mental health, and taking time for yourself. Whether it’s a book, magazine, or newspaper, at home, on the train, or in your lunch break, take time to sit back and read for pleasure.

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, 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! 📚

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.
