Best book that I have read lately is Love Is A Burning Thing: A Memoir.

It's about a mentally ill mom who tried to commit suicide by lighting herself on fire but survived and had children later. Her daughter wrote the book.

Do you listen to audiobooks? I didn't for a long time, but it's made getting through my reading list soo much easier! I like to switch it up by reading some books by hand, then listening to others.

Oh I'm totally with you on the leafing, nothing quite like it on a cosy day!

But often, when someone says to me that audiobooks aren't really "reading", I'll ask them how many books they get through a year and it's...zero. So my mantra is that an audiobook is better than no book at all!
