As a child I LOVED to read but as I got older, it started to take a back seat, mostly reserved for long journeys or the rarity of a Summer holiday (anyone that knows me, knows I’m not the biggest fan of sun holidays - I just can’t take the heat!)

In everyday life I tell myself I don’t have enough hours in the day to read but my screen time report from socials would certainly beg to differ!
