Hi! I’m Sonal, and I’ll be celebrating my 25th birthday this August! I’ve often felt a wave of sadness around my birthdays and usually feel a bit lost when it comes to celebrating, so this time I wanted to do something different.

I’ve decided to read as many books as I can from now until the 15th of August to stay accountable and raise money for charity: water. I may not have a huge network of friends, but I do have a love for reading, so I wanted to build something around that. I’ve kick-started the fundraiser and will be adding £2 for every book I finish!
