I mostly read in the evening unless it’s possible to sit in the sunshine in the garden. Recently my reading has been a bit eclectic, staring with Michael Rosen’s Getting better. A non fiction exposition of what ‘getting better’ means in terms of life events, health and well being using his own life as an example. It proved slightly irritating at times but also made one realise how much we normalise aspects of our health and well-being that perhaps should be investigated more deeply. Swiftly following that was Sea Room by Adam Nicolson, the story of his inheriting the Shiant ( pronounced Shant) islands off the coast of Lewis in the Minch. He becomes fascinated ( if not obsessed) with finding out the history of the previous inhabitants and their challenges living there. Finally for a gentle read, I’ve started reading the Miss Blaine’s prefect series of comic crime novels by Olga Wojtas. The first one is Miss Blaine’s Prefect and the Golden Samovar - never underestimate a librarian who time travels to Czarist Russia to solve a mystery! Especially when she was a pupil of Marcie Blaine’s so has a skill set that stretches from quantum physics to martial arts!
