Would be incredible if you could do this for us! Thanks for even considering Michelle! Julia and the team at Read for RNIB Day.

Sight loss charity RNIB is calling on book clubs all over the UK to share their love of reading with blind and partially sighted people.. The charity has just launched a Reading Group Challenge which focuses on books that feature a blind or partially sighted character. Book clubs that sign up will get to pick from a wide range of books - from adult, young adult and children's fiction - and be sent exclusive discussion points from our chosen authors. All we ask of book lovers is to donate the price of the selected book to Read For RNIB Day, which highlights that just seven per cent of books are fully accessible to blind and partially sighted people. Read for RNIB Day aims to raise money to change this statistic for the better. To register and learn more more about the books this year -which are Star Gazing by Linda Gillard, She Is Not Invisible by Marcus Sedgwick, Girl Stolen by April Henry, Lighthousekeeping by Jeanette Winterson, Mole Sunrise by Jeanne Willis and Adrian Mole and the Weapons of Mass Destruction by Sue Townsend - go to www.readforrnib.org.uk/challenge
