This #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek, we want to shed light on the transformative impact of shared reading on mental well-being. #SharedReading promotes empathy, self-reflection, and empathy. What's your favourite part of shared reading? 🌟📚 #Leicester #Leicestershire #Healthy
There's something truly magical about diving into the pages of a #ClassicNovel. It has the power to transport us to different times and places, challenge our perspectives, and inspire us to new heights. There's always something new to discover. 🙌🏽📖 #SharedReading #Leicester
📚 Happy #NationalPoetryMonth! 📚 April is the perfect time to appreciate the artistic expression of poetry. Poets like Langston Hughes and Emily Dickinson have captivated us with their profound words. Let's read, learn, and grow together! 🙌🏽📖 #SharedReading #Leicester
It's never too late to set reading goals for the year! Any time is the perfect time to set your intentions and get reading. So let's do this together! Share your reading resolutions in the comments 🙌🏽 #ReadingResolutions #SharedReading #Leicester
March is #WomensHistoryMonth, so it's a time to celebrate the contributions of women throughout history. Women shaped the literary landscape in countless ways, so let's support women and elevate their work not just this month, but all year round 💪🏽📖 #SharedReading #Leicester
Happy #StPatricksDay, reading lovers 🍀 ! Explore the history of this festive holiday through #IrishLiterature. Put on your green and grab a book - it's time to celebrate in true bookworm style! 💚 📖 #Leicester #Leicestershire #SharedReading

Our #SharedReadingGroup recently read #BatoolHaidari's I Don't Have the Flying Wings. It tells the story of a gay teenager's journey in a homophobic society. We highly recommend this story to anyone who is interested in #DiverseLiterature. #RepresentationMatters #Leicestershire
Happy New Year everyone! We hope you had a wonderful Christmas and that you're feeling refreshed and ready for the new year. We're extremely excited to get back to make this year even better than the last. #Leicestershire #Leicester #newyear #hope #excitement #SharedReading

Looking for last minute gift ideas? Here are some of our recommendations. Happy gifting 🎁! #Leicestershire #Leicester #SharedReading #Festive #GiftRecommendations
Last month, our #SharedReading group read 'Let Evening Come' by #JaneKenyon. They had some wonderful discussions and great insights about its deeper meanings. It's always nice to see our group members enjoying the reading and having engaging discussions! #Leicestershire
The value of #SharedReading to our members became clearer than ever during the pandemic. 💡 "Joining this group is the best thing I have done for myself in years. It has made the world of difference to me, even more so in the context of the pandemic." #Leicestershire
Like the thought of reading but don’t know where to start? 🤔 With life's many distractions, it can be hard to make time to read. Here are four tips we think can get you started: #Leicestershire #SharedReading #Leicester
Helena is one of our shared reading group leaders. She trained in early 2021 and helps run our Glenfield reading group 📚 Find out more about joining our team as a Group Leader at buff.ly/3SbNj32! #Leicestershire #SharedReading #Leicester
Reading is good for you. Last week was #InternationalStressAwarenessWeek. Research has shown that #reading is more effective at reducing stress than sipping tea! Now, imagine reading AND sipping tea - that combination must do the mind wonders. #Leicestershire #SharedReading
The @RMBandService and the #RoyalNavy wish His Majesty The King a very happy birthday.
This #TransAwarenessWeek, we're flying the flag at County Hall 🏳️⚧️ We're showing our support because we believe all LGBT+ people deserve to be themselves without fear of discrimination. Find out how you can be an ally 👉 crowd.in/nE000D
"The reading groups are a different kind of medicine and it’s through them that I’ve found a way back to life." Interested in getting involved with #Leicestershire #SharedReading? There are many ways you can! buff.ly/3hshO8z #Leicester
