Fall 2025 With Pagewings!

For me, reading has to be one of the greatest self care methods there is. And I don’t mean via a screen! Having time, or rather, gifting time, to yourself, to sit down with a good book and read is almost like therapy itself. It’s not something I seem to find time for often truth be told. I fact, even on holiday I only managed one book when pre-children I used to devour 4 or 5 in a week when lying next to a swimming pool. or whilst absent mindedly running sand through my fingers on the beach with one hand, book in the other! These days holidays hit a little differently with children, and that’s great too (better, even) but it does mean the reading takes a hit! However, the reading I did manage was so welcome!

And you don’t have to read anything high brow, I certainly don’t! But it is certainly checking out what’s what for banned books week, and, what’s on offer when it comes to banned books week merch!

New Yor Time bestselling author Lauren Roberts has written a collection of books with names like “Fearless” and “powerless” and “Reckless” and I think it’s important to choose books with meaning because… Literacy quite actually, has saved lives!

And with that, it’s important to be empowered to wear your beliefs, so be educated through literature and then absolutely, show the world what you read, when you read it, what it meant to you and how you’re going to change the world. Whether it be a throne of glass t shirt, or a framed front cover of the book you loved reading on your latest holiday, just show the world what reading means to you. As banned book week shows, sometimes words, and their meaning, get people angry and make people want to suppress them, so don’t let that be you!
