Welcome to the Bookworm Club!

The Bookworm Club is a free weblog forum for anyone of any age who loves reading - but especially for those who would like to use their hobby to support our cause of helping to provide respite breaks for elderly, disabled people and their carers. Please help us by clicking on the sign-up link above and passing the word on.

We are building up a reading network of free online resources and information, features and discussions about books.

Our aim is to inform and entertain, but also to provide practical support of the elderly and disabled by raising money to help people and their carers to take a holiday. Every time you as a signed up member click through to one of our affiliate sites to make a purchase, you are helping to raise money for this cause!


Use the the links and icons on this site to make your book and other purchases. The price you pay stays the same, but you are earning revenue through commissions for our good cause!

So remember to come to the Bookworm Club to buy! Bookmark this page or add it to the Favourites on your browser.

Other ways you can help:

Thinking of upgrading your computer, or going from a PC to a laptop? Why not donate your old computer to an elderly or disabled person you know in your community, or to a residential home, so that an isolated person can go online? Write and tell us about Bookworm support and success in your local community! We would love to publish your stories.


As an author, translator and teacher, I care passionately about learning, literacy and books. I am a firm believer in lifelong learning. I believe that the home was, and always will be, the most important place most of us learn. A recent survey conducted by the Campaign for Learning asked people which environment they found most conducive for learning:

57% of the people asked said that they preferred to learn at home!

Where else can you get up in the small hours, make yourself a cup of tea and pick up your favourite book, or go on the Internet and look something up! Where else but at home can you read and learn in bed?

So sit back, curl up with a cuppa and enjoy. This is your site. We are developing rapidly, so keep coming back for new reading tips, reviews, features and articles, including of course your own contributions!

Suggestions? Know someone in your community who really deserves a break but is struggling? Click on my profile in the right margin, and then on the email button to send me a message. I love hearing from you!
