Reader Bookshelf 2026 – The Home We Carry<\/span><\/p>\n

The Reader Bookshelf theme of this year is <\/span>\n “The Home We Carry”<\/a>. Why ? This is why : “We can look for it, long for it, thrive in it or flee from it \u2013 \u2018home\u2019 isn\u2019t a place, it\u2019s a constellation of feelings, ideas and associations we carry round with us always. It looks\n different for every different person \u2013 it could be a community, a country, a room or a bed; it could be a person, or a memory. For some, home is an absence; for others, it\u2019s their journey\u2019s end.”<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
