Best-selling author Martina Cole gave a lively and engaging talk about her career and love of reading at the Barberry Centre as part of the Reading Agency’s Six Book Challenge tour.
Martina, who is the official ambassador for the challenge, spoke with staff and service users about her childhood and what inspired her to take up writing.
Around 35,000 people take part annually in the Six Book Challenge, which aims to encourage young people and adults who might not otherwise pick up a book to develop a love of reading and improve their literacy skills at the same time.
