Message from Cherish
I'd rather be reading ... and I know I'm definitely not alone! This sweatshirt was made for the people who always have a book on the go, a growing pile waiting to be read and a habit of saying "one more chapter". I love the hot pink with the colourful book and florals because it feels joyful and completely unapologetic about loving reading. Wear her for book club, a library trip, World Book Day, teaching or simply curling up somewhere quiet with a cuppa and a really good book.
