Share a Read with us

We’re kicking off our Share a Read campaign to encourage more people to pick up a book and feel the benefits of reading for pleasure.

Whether you’re reading for yourself, or with students or family, we want you to discover new books and share the joy of reading them with everyone.

We'll even be giving book vouchers to our favourite reviews!
