SUMMARY:The Overthinkers Club: Happy List

SUMMARY:Go All In: Reading for Pleasure
DESCRIPTION:In conversation with Nick Quantrill\, three authors explore how stories shape us\, comfort us\, and bring us back to ourselves. \nL.C. Winter introduces Spider Spider\, a gothic debut steeped in atmosphere and human connection. Mike Gayle shares On We Go\, a deeply moving story of loss\, love\, and rediscovery. Dr Caroline Cauchi discusses Daughter of the Titanic\, a powerful reimagining of memory\, myth\, and legacy. \nIn this “Go All In: National Year of Reading 2026” event\, they’ll reflect on why reading for pleasure matters\, for children\, teens\, and adults alike\, and how building a reading culture at home and beyond can transform lives.
