I figured it was time to share what I’ve been reading latelyish. My peak reading time is now somewhere between 11pm and 4am. And there are now three TV-less nights a week in this house. So, there’s that, too. The Unseen World, Liz Moore – This book. This effing book. I identified with Ada more than I care to admit, and as such, did not want this to end. Ten big, fat, teary stars.

I eat books. I am actually addicted to books, and reading them. My two giant bookcases are three rows deep. There is a stack by my bed, and in the office. And at least four books on any other free surface in the house. I put them there, anywhere, when deciding ‘what to read next’, and I don’t put them back, leading to quite random clusters throughout the house.
