    1. Thank you. I am lucky in that I read fairly fast and I got into the habit of reading before I went to sleep as a small child so there is very rarely a day I don’t read for at least 30 minutes, often longer!

    1. Reading is what I do for relaxation, I don’t watch a huge amount of tv and I’m lucky that I read fairly quickly. I have always (as long as I can remember) read each night before I go to sleep and now my offspring have grown up I have more free time in the evenings/weekends to indulge. I do carry my kindle back and forth to work but rarely read it, even bookworms need to engage with real people too 😉 The main thing is that you enjoy it! Unlike many bloggers I read, write my review and then move onto the next book rather than pondering on the book before reviewing, because that works for me. Just carry on reading good books, this should be about your enjoyment.
