Here, in the United Kingdom, and further afield too, we face an uncertain period as more restrictions are brought in, meaning that now more than ever we need stories filled with optimism and promise.

| Everyday Kindness - an uplifting anthology |
Each festive season I like to support a charity anthology, and this year is the turn of Everyday Kindness; a collection of uplifting tales by bestselling authors, written to brighten your day. The cover blurb states that the collection offers hope, and goodness, at present, we need as much of that as we can get!
And if a whole bucket load of inspiring tales isn’t enough to tempt you to buy, then the good news is that all proceeds are donated to Shelter. A UK charity which helps people struggling with homelessness and bad housing, offering both advice and vital support.
Everyday Kindness contains a superb selection of work donated by over fifty authors, so you get real bang for your buck. It’s a doorstopper of a book (available as an e-book too) which, if you read a story a day, will cheer you right through to spring. What more could you wish for from a charity anthology that includes short stories by bestselling, award-winning authors including Liz Fenwick, Emma Robinson, Imogen Clark, CL Taylor, Clare Flynn, Holly Martin, Kim Nash, Leah Mercer, Louise Jensen, Mark Stay, Will Dean and so many, many more...
It may be too late as a stocking filler, but why not treat yourself and a friend (or better still, several friends) to a little Everyday Kindness (available to buy here). What a fantastic way to begin a new year.
So, as we race towards the end of 2021, the Novel Points of View team says a sincere thank you for your continued support throughout the year, and wish everyone a safe, happy, hopeful 2022 – filled with Everyday Kindness.
Happy reading!

I've read several of the contributions. A delightful collection!!
ReplyDeleteIt really is, John. Just what is needed during such uncertain times.
DeleteLovely post, Rae, and a perfect way to end the year!
ReplyDeleteThanks Victoria, it's a wonderful collection to dip into : )
DeleteKindness is, I think, hugely under-appreciated by many. So, a wonderful post to make us think as we enter a new year - still with restrictions but there's no limit on kindness. Thanks, Rae.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't agree more, Linda. It is those small, thoughtful acts of kindness that have kept us smiling through the past couple of years.
DeleteWhat a lovely concept, and needed this year more than ever before.
ReplyDeleteGreat to support Shelter (and fantastic value for money too!)
DeleteKindness can guide us through these difficult time. Wonderful that words are supporting those in need. Jessie Cahalin
