Go All In: National Year of Reading 2026
Everyone knows the benefits of reading: it expands your world, sharpens your mind. It might even make you more creative or successful.
But increasingly, fewer of us are making time to read. With so many forms of entertainment at our fingertips, reaching for a book can feel like a chore. Something we should do, but don’t really want to do.
But we believe it's just a matter of shifting the focus. So for the National Year of Reading in 2026, we're bringing reading to where culture is.
We believe reading is a powerful plug-in to the things you already love – a great way to go deeper into your existing passions. Put simply we say: ‘if you’re into it, read into it’.
We’re asking the nation to go all in this national year of reading 2026 and see how reading in all its forms can unlock more of what you love – whether it’s music, baking, family time, films, sci-fi or… anything.
Whatever you're into. Get ready to GO ALL IN.

“Queen of Faces is a fascinating and fast-paced YA academia fantasy, set in a world where the physical body you inhabit can be remodeled, bought or traded… This was an incredibly pacy read with fascinating use of gender within storytelling, how we perceive each other and the strength of friendship.” Megan (London Bookseller)
