What a great incentive. Write Blend

Hands up who wants a free book token? Thought so!
Hands up who wants a free book token just for reading books for pleasure? Yes, we thought you'd like that idea too!
We've teamed up with our good friends at National Book Tokens to launch our Summer Reading Challenge. Here's how it works.
1. Pick up a form from the shop between now and September 1st. We'll give you a free bookmark when you do.
2. Read five books and write them on the form.
3. Bring the completed form back to us and we'll give you a High Five voucher that can be used online to claim a free £5.00 book token (Ts and Cs apply, but then you'd expect them to!)
It's a simple as that (though under 16s will need to ask an adult very nicely to claim the voucher for them)

We've been banging on all year about how much fun it is to read books and now you can get rewarded for it too! You don't have to have bought the books here, though obviously we'd love it if you did and if ebooks or audio are your bag, we're not going to ask!

So this is your incentive to Go All In and read some great books this summer!

"Reading is our snuggle up time"

Lola and her Nana, Rosie, are one of the families that helped to shape our animation - based on real conversations with children in adoption, foster or kinship care.

We love what Rosie says here about the power of snuggling up together with a book. Every family should have support to experience this💙

My weekend mornings consits of opening my window first thing so I can hear the birds and then getting back into bed to read my book. 😍

Book corner purchased today from a makers market in formby from Fablorious.
I got this book as a mystery book from Lucy's Library & Preloved Pages. It's not my usual narrative so am struggling to get into it, but I will keep with it. I really want to broaden the material I read. I think it will help with my story writing. 😁
