Let's use reading to enact positive change!
I am a reader, it is what I like to do with my spare time. 5 books in a month for me isn't a challenge, so I'll be doubling that number and aim to read 10 books during the month of September!
I ask my friends and colleagues to consider donating $1 for every book I aim to read this month - If I get 30 people to donate we can fund a mental health workshop for emergency services like the ADF! I have been working for Defence for a year now and this is something I'd really like to do to give back to the men and women who valiantly serve the safety of our nation.
All money raised goes toward the mental health charity 'Brothers and Books', whose programs support our Australian Defence Force soldiers, Veterans and emergency services.
✅Initial Goal: $300
Funds a mental health workshop for an emergency services organization
1st Stretch Goal: $500
Funds a free workshop at schools highlighting the importance of positive mental health and reading
2nd Stretch Goal: $1K
Funds TWO of the above workshops!
Final Stretch Goal: $2.5K
Funds the purchase and delivery of a community library

We're in the last 24 hours to donate, I'd love any help to get me across the line to my $500 goal
Thank you again to everyone who has supported the cause so far. I'm so proud of my reading efforts and to have such amazing and supportive friends and colleagues to help raise what is currently $417 towards supporting the positive mental health of our ADF and emergency service workers 💕 Share
Book 3 - ARC read finished!
Friday 13th Sep
Andrea Andersen has been on my radar for about a year, so when I found out about her newest release I threw my hat in the ring for an ARC and was one of the lucky few selected!
I really enjoyed this one and am so grateful to be one of the people who gets to experience this book prior to release. If you're interested in reading this sweet office romance it releases on 01 Oct 2024 on amazon.com.au Share
