I’m really struggling to settle to reading atm. Combination of phone addiction, toddler DS and a postgrad degree that required a lot of reading, all of which have made it very hard for me to concentrate. I miss it though, reading used to be my solace at all times, and now I hardly ever sit down and lose myself in a book.
I’m off on holiday in November and the place I’m going keeps mentioning in their blurb that x or y space in the house is perfect for curling up with a good book. It has made me really want to do this very thing, but I know I will find it hard!
Recently I’ve enjoyed: rereading all of Jane Austen, The Tenant of Wildfell Hall, Disobedience (Naomi Alderman), rereading Cadfael, and several nonfiction works around the bible/Christianity. I also like history (non fiction). I also love Terry Pratchett, Tamora Pierce, Hilary Mantel, Philip Pullman, and honestly many others which I can’t think of just now!
Anyone got any suggestions for a book that will pull me in and allow me to fulfil my fantasy of curling up on a couch with a book (in the evening when the toddler has gone to bed and dinner/cleaning up done etc…if I don't fall asleep first!)
