The first 'book' that I read last month was an unusual one ... my own, in a way.
In 2016 I did an almost year long Challenge that I started a fresh blog for and called 'A Year Without ... Clothes, Books or Housekeeping Money'. Over the course of that year I didn't buy any new clothes, books or anything for the house. My housekeeping/food shopping money came from our Sealed Pot cash saved up for over the previous year, and lots of M&S and Tesco vouchers and Nectar points, a total at the start of the year of just £504.18 for the two of us. We did get some more vouchers over the course of that year as we were paying for building work on our old Welsh house with the M&S credit card.
Throughout the year I kept this diary, printing out the blog page for each day and sticking it in. It made for fascinating reading for me over the course of more than a week of last month.
It was good to have something that I could pick up and put down at the drop of a hat while we had so much going on. I've kept it, so that I can read through it again in a few years time. It really doesn't seem eight years since we did that Challenge.
The first real book that I read was this one. It was an unusual book and one that after reading about it in a few places, I fully expected it to be.
I really enjoyed reading something so different.
I am currently just about half-way through this book. It took me a while to get into, but now that I am, I'm really enjoying it, and if there's one thing I really want to do at the moment it's hunker down for Winter.
What book do you have on the go at the moment?
