It’s summertime and the reading is easy! We were recently given the opportunity to design and make a personalised book from love2read.

However, as I well know, chasing those goals isn’t always so easy. To better understand what powers the people of the UK to pursue their dreams, Duracell carried out a nationwide survey – discovering that only 4% of Brits have achieved their bucket-list goals. Money (71%), time (44%) and motivation (19%) are cited as the…
