What started out as a reading vlog turned into a very long chat and Q&A about reading with a chronic illness...
Watching this back there are a million other things I wish I'd said, but the one thing I'd want people to know is that reading is so much more than books alone. We all read without realising it just through everyday life so if you're chronically ill and books perhaps don't feel accessible to you, there's no need whatsoever to beat yourself up about it. However, if you're actively trying to read more, I hope at least some of this is helpful!

Well hello! My name is Pippa Stacey and I’m a writer, blogger, and communications consultant based up North in Yorkshire. I enjoy theatre, books, and fundraising, and can most often be found wearing some form of pyjamas and drinking all the tea.
I acquired my chronic illness as a young adult, and struggle daily with the challenges of living my best life alongside managing a debilitating health condition. However, I’ve come to realise that I don’t have to ‘overcome’ or ‘defy’ my illness in order to be successful, and there’s truly nobody’s path to follow but your own. I have a particular interest in inclusive education and employment for people with long-term illnesses, and you can find out more about me and the work I do by visiting www.lifeofpippa.co.uk.
