Reading list for winter
One
I usually have more than one on the go at once, finding it useful to keep books around the house so I can pick one up when I have five minutes. In the business of my days, I try and make five minutes once or twice, to sneak off for a hot coffee and a chapter or two of a book. It’s just enough time for me to recalibrate, to take a few deeps breaths and re-energise to tackle the rest of my days.
My ideal evening, once the house is quiet and the kiddos all tucked up, would be curled up on the sofa with a hot chocolate, a blanket, a bagful of pistachios and a good book {or three}. Often I’ll find myself reading whilst waiting for the big kids to get home from that night’s groups.
I’m hoping to get through a good stack of books this winter, a mix of fiction and non-fiction, some poetry, some self-help, some feel good… And while I much prefer an actual, physical book to an e-book any day, I do always have a novel on the go on my kindle, as I can read that late at night/early in the morning in bed with no need for a light that would wake up Beastie!
Here are a few of my ‘to-reads’ for Autumn/Winter….
