I have an actual physical copy of Becoming but the size always puts me off, maybe I need to get over that and give it a go.

I loved Becoming too 
I read it but do wish I had listened on audible. Even though it was long I flew through it in a couple of days.

I had debated it when I heard her on a podcast as she is just so warm and lovable and I wanted her to be my new mum (as likely as raising my own beloved from the grave!) but the size put me off. But lately I’ve been listening to audiobooks in bed to distract me from TRYING to sleep and I find her voice and genera energy just very soothing and reassuring.I hope you enjoy itI feel like I wasn't super eager to listen but also listening wasnt a chore. It was like a nice warm hug.
I have this on my Kindle! I think they should have changed the design/font on the cover as I always read it as a fucker in the dark

I’ve noticed some kindle deals are £1. Why does this seem so much more expensive than 99p?!

Sapiens by Yuval Noah Harari is pretty popular with non-historians, it's an history of human kind from prehistory to the 21st century. If you want academia, you could try reading undergrad history textbooks, they are usually written around either a period and a 'country' (ex: Ancient Rome or 18th century France) or by theme (ex: Women and the Industrial Revolution). Academia may be a bit more dry than 'mainstream' books but it's made for 18+ years old so it's very non-historians friendly, often with maps, chronology, and lexicon.
Does anyone read Ann Cleeves books? If yes, do you recommend as I have been gifted a few.
Read Sheila O Flanagan's He's Got to Go yesterday and thoroughly enjoyed it. Haven't read an Irish author in ages and used to devour them when I was younger.

I've bought myself a reading journal to log books read, reviews etc. Does anyone else do this? I thought it would be quite fun to look back on at the end of the year 
Which Ann Clever books have you been given?
They are mostly in series. I have been enjoying her Vera Stanhope series - the first book there is The Crow Trap (this series was also made into a tv show, I haven't seen it but it is supposed to be a good adaptation)

I always treat myself to a customised Liv B journal.
Yeh the one I have is quite similar to that. Looking forward to starting it - I've even bought pretty pens and highlighters
I use Storygraph. I'm sure it's the reason I read so much more as I'm addicted to seeing the graphs change.I've bought myself a reading journal to log books read, reviews etc. Does anyone else do this? I thought it would be quite fun to look back on at the end of the year
I have that too and I love it. It's a good way of seeing how many pages you read too which I like.
@ordinaryjelly I have The Sleeping and the Dead and The Long Call.
I'm 90% through The Sleeping and The Dead. Seen some reviews about readers being left with unanswered questions which makes me worry but I've enjoyed what I've read so far. As of right now, I'd recommend it
The Long Call is the first book in the Two Rivers series, it is a decent read.
I do this. Its a nice way to see what books you have read.I've bought myself a reading journal to log books read, reviews etc. Does anyone else do this? I thought it would be quite fun to look back on at the end of the year
I also use storygraph.
I use GoodReads but now wondering if I should look into Storygraph 
I went through BorrowBox and Libby last weekend, adding a few books that I must have seen and liked the look of. Can’t even remember how they made it onto my wish list in the first place, but I’ve had to make a list in order of when they’re due so I make time to read them 
Anyone else have books just appear and can’t remember how they got on there?!

Dammit you’ve influenced me to buy Becoming despite my TBR pile already looking like it’s about to topple over

currently flying through the marriage portrait by maggie o’farrell which might be on course to be my first five star read in a while. her writing is
Do it! I prefer it so much more than GoodReads, but I suppose it's what you are used to.I use GoodReads but now wondering if I should look into Storygraph
