3 x kindle books:-

'City of Girls' by Elizabeth Gilbert
'The Island of Sea Women' by Lisa See
'Dreams of Joy' by Lisa See

During the recent hot weather, I did a lot of reading sitting on my sunny patio.

1000 piece Jungle Book jigsaw (for me and teen DD)
1000 piece Alice in Wonderland jigsaw (for me and teen DD)

I live in Ireland so with the exception of kindle books, I don't generally order from Amazon. By the time I convert the price from pounds to euros and then add on postage charges, the item is usually considerably more expensive. With the closure of shops in Ireland, I've been ordering a lot more online. It will be interesting to see if I revert to shopping in stores when life goes back to normal. I definitely won't be buying clothes online. It's a very frustrating experience. You have to wait ages for the clothes and then if they don't fit, you have to pay to post them back. So much easier to pick clothes off a rail in a physical shop, pop into a changing room, see which size fits best and then leave the shop with your new clothes. But judging by the rate at which physical clothes shops are closing down, I seem to be out of step with everyone else.
