Here’s the deal: Make reading your hobby this year. It’ll expand your mind, grow your perspective, and if you grab a library card, you’ll be supporting authors too (yes, in places like the UK, AU, NZ, and Canada, libraries pay authors!). Reading isn’t just fun—it’s a win for everyone.

I've got to get off this crazy train for my mental health but it's not easy. I can't sleep knowing there's an arsonist in the basement.
Mackenzie Crook's "If Nick Drake Came To My House" was the sort of whimsy you might expect from him!
I consider it more as a means to the end of absorbing info.
Read more is my number one list followed by getting healthier, sleeping more and less social media! 😊
I have so many twenty-somethings on my caseload, mostly with the same issue: low self-esteem and anxiety due to comparing themselves to others their age, in terms of education, money, and popularity etc
I have my mum to thank as she read novels to me until I was 13, audiobooks weren’t a thing then & I don’t concentrate on them properly & still love reading books, even if I have to reread as section because my eyes have jumped & missed a couple of lines

I read “Animal House” today. What a hoot!
Tomorrow I’ll start “1984,” a mere 30 years after studying it English class in college.
On deck is a Christmas gift, Leigh McGowan’s “A Return to Common Sense.” Love me some #politicsgirl
Let’s see, what’s next? Maybe another Blake Crouch novel…
1. The End of The World is Just the Beginning. (Geopolitics, Peter Zeihan)
2. The Coming Wave
(Scary AI, Michael Bhaskar)
3. The Water Will Come
(Sea Rise, Jeff Goodell)
