What Day of the Week is it?
Do you find you lose all sense of what day of the week it is after Christmas and Boxing Days? I do.
Time only has meaning in that I get to do more reading at this time of year. And naturally all time and its meaning goes completely when you're engrossed with a good book! (But that is exactly how it should be).
Also why is it when, having decided to have a good read in bed, you find you're asleep in minutes?
Conversely, on the thankfully rare occasions I have insomnia, why is it reading does not send me to sleep then?!
I read during the day when I can, usually at lunchtime, but it always feels a little like I'm playing truant. It's tricky trying to ignore all the things I should be doing but I usually manage it!
Reading and time available are never in the ratio I'd like though! Still there is always time for one more book, one more story etc. Now back to that To Be Read pile. The only decision to be taken is whether I'm going for the "real" book TBR pile or the Kindle one!
