Oh man, we've definitely all be there! The phrase 'buying books and reading books are two very different hobbies' keeps wandering around my brain lately! I would love to do a digital detox, too. I often find it's a case of 'the watched phone never rings' and if I do hit flight mode and chuck the thing in a drawer, even for a few hours, that's the window when people actually start trying to get hold of me, and I panic I'm not available for a family emergency! Think lots of us are still learning to find balance in this digitally-dependant world. I'll be reading in my garden this afternoon, where it's too bright to see a phone screen!
You made me giggle Lois! I dig your style with the piles of books on the bed, and like you I need to ditch the device. Planning to get a good traditional alarm clock so I charge the phone well away from the bedroom, in order to gain a quality nights sleep. Catch up soon :)

You made me smile from ear to ear with your message 🙏 I hope the sun is shining over you in the garden today. It’s very hot here in Cardiff 🏴
Not sure I could not finish a book 🧐
Currently reading An Expert in Murder by Nicola Upson. Finished The Witching Tide recently, that was harrowing x
Ah I heard Sam Baker mention The Witching Tide - I think I’ll pass on that one. You can tell me all about it next week 😉
Ha! What are you reading this month?
Love this! Particularly no 3- life is too short to carry on with books you’re not enjoying
Exactly! What's on your reading list this month Sian?
The new Curtis Sittenfeld was good! Also enjoyed Bad Summer People by Emma Rosenblum - a good fun summer read 😊
Both sound interesting. Which books do you plan to read this Autumn?
I’m running low on books actually so need a visit to the library!
