I’ve had a little distraction from reading, in the shape of a waggy tail with four legs. I will get back to ‘A Little Life’ tomorrow. Determined to finish the last 150 pages in one hit. In the meantime Bluesky, meet my new reading/walking buddy, Oscar. #DogSky #BookSky #Goldendoodle

I have wanted to read ‘A Little Life for over a year. I own the physical book - but the font is tiny and the book is too thick for my handbag. Enter, my new kindle! I am won over. Bring on the commute. #Kindle #KindleColoursoft #TBR #NextRead #AmReading #BookSky #ALittleLife #HanyaYanagihara

I’ve just ordered a Kindle Coloursoft eReader, though as a lifelong diehard fan of print books, I’m not sure how I feel about it - my commute calls for something a bit less bulky. What other perks should I be looking forward to? #Reading #eReader #Kindle #AmReading #BookSky #SkyReader #PrintBooks

Yesterday, I finished book 5 of 2025 ✅ Setting my intention for February: 3 books. #tbr #BookSky #Fiction #AmReading

Time for book 5 of 2025 📚 This one came recommended. So 🤞🏻 #BookSky #TBR #AmReading #SmallPleasures #ClareChambers

Book 4 2025 ✅ Heartbreaking, beautifully written, and profoundly important. A lesson on the treatment of domestic workers and immigrants, as well as on motherhood and kinship. Truly stunning - a must-read. #BookSky #Reading #Fiction #TBR #AmReading #Songbirds

Book 4 2025 is shaping up to be as intriguing as it is beautiful. #BookSky #TBR #AmReading #Fiction #Literature #Reading #2025Books
