And they all lived happily ever after
Mar. 29th, 2024 02:55 pmOne thing that's stayed the same throughout my life is my love of a good book. Some of my clearest memories of my mum involved reading with/to her. I fell in love with books such The Time Machine, The War of The Worlds, 2001: A Space Odyssey and The Hobbit as a child and I've been a voracious reader ever since.
Jack, Lucy & I all struggled with both our physical and mental health during the pandemic and I found myself reading more and more, escaping to the safety of fictional worlds where the good guys win & everyone gets their happy ending. There was a lot of comfort watching of favourite TV shows and movies for the same reasons.
I still finding myself reading a lot. I really enjoy curling up in a comfy chair with a mug of tea or coffee, a tasty baked treat, a blanket, a cat, some music and a good book. It's become one of my favourite ways to spend a rainy afternoon or evening.
My favourite genres are contemporary romance/chick-lit, fantasy, non-fiction, physics, popular science, science & science-fiction.
My favourite authors include Cecilia Ahern, Jim Al-Khalili, Mandy Baggot, Arthur C Clarke, Jenny Colgan, Brian Cox, John Gribbin, Deborah Harkness, Marian Keyes & Sophie Kinsella
This year I have discovered and been thoroughly enjoying Emily Henry, Ali Hazelwood, Talia Hibbert & Alexandria Bellefleur - all recommended to me by the amazing staff in my local Waterstones.
While I'm enjoying all the contemporary and sometimes queer romances I've been reading over the last few months, I'm starting to itch to read the classic science fiction that I fell in love with as a child. It may be time to pull out some HG Wells, Isaac Asimov or Arthur C. Clarke. It's been decades since I read Dune. I think it's time to make some changes to my TBR pile
