Reading challenge

It’s been a while since I did a reading challenge (pandemic times were challenging enough on their own) but I felt stuck in a reading rut recently and decided that the way out of it might be a new challenge. So, I found myself a new list and sure enough, have been able to strike off two items already. Examples of reading challenges can be found on library websites and Pinterest among other places: they come in all shapes and forms, so if you want to give it a go yourself, go ahead and explore!
I’ll keep track of my list on this very platform and will let you know how I get on.

Fresh start

A fresh start. We need them every now and then. Where it comes to life, careers, reading or blogging.
The many times I’ve put a book down because it simply wasn’t the right time for it and then weeks, months or even years later, picking it up again and promptly finishing it within hours or days.
Timing is everything.
So, I’m reopening the blog. Blank page. Fresh start. Welcome back.
