Thanks I’ll look into those too! Yes, I really loved the narration of None of This is True on audio - probably my fav listen so far this year.

I bit the bullet and got a kindle… it arrived Sunday and I am OBSESSED.
I read what I had left of All The Light We Cannot See (about 80%) on it and am already 60% through The Maidens. It definitely makes it easier to just pick and read a little bit in free time that I would otherwise have wasted on my phone.
Also I’m deep in the 99p deals now 🥲 rip mt bank account

Today my husband took me to a brilliant coffee shop that also sells books and flowers. I sat looking at their (limited but well edited) book selection whilst enjoying a flat white. Ended up coming home with Piglet and really looking forward to eventually reading it.. by pile is huge 
Told the husband we can only go once per month haha

Ugh I don't know what to pick up next, literally nothing appeals to me rn 
I need something like ACOTAR or some good romance that I can get obsessed with for a bit

A gate sign I walked past yesterday, that I think a lot of us would welcome from time to time 
I'm still in a reading slump. I was on a roll in Jan -Feb but now I'm like ughhhhh. My attention span is shot to pieces.
I just read Garden of Time by JG Billard, the inspiration for the MET gala theme: pretty good (3 stars) even though it's only 10 pages. You can read it for free on LitHUb https://lithub.com/read-the-1962-short-story-that-inspired-this-years-met-gala-theme/

so to keep on theme I’d add, “especially when reading” 
Honestly modern life wrecks your attention span. I also have neurodiversity in my corner where I do 5 things at once but I cant even watch TV anymore. I dont have the attention span to do it
I'm the same and the last few months i also seem to be a lot more addicted to scrolling on my phone. I've been telling myself to put the phone down and have an early night for 2h now, yet here I amHonestly modern life wrecks your attention span.

For anyone with NetGalley... when I post my reviews they used to automatically send to Goodreads but this doesn't happen any more and I have to manually add the book and review to GR. Have I knocked a setting off or is this happening across the board?
This resonates!Honestly modern life wrecks your attention span. I also have neurodiversity in my corner where I do 5 things at once but I cant even watch TV anymore. I dont have the attention span to do it
Have you read Stolen Focus? I think I’ve mentioned before now I’m typing but I read it last year and found it quite eye opening as to how my attention is being destroyed.. having said that I found it so easy to slip back into my previous habits. It covers quite a range in factors from big tech/mobile devices to diet.
I agree. If I’m struggling to get into anything, I’ll read one of her books and it gets me back into reading againI feel like I opened a can of worms with the Freida McFadden talkI just enjoy a bit of easy reading which is exactly what her books are. I’ll have to read some of the books she plagiarised!

Did you enjoy it? I read it very quickly too but wasn’t sure I actually thought it was a good book, just a page turner.
Right you lot. I finished Preloved the other day and I loved it. We all know how much I adore my detective, crime, thriller books so this was a complete step out of my genre and I was sceptical at first. But the more I read the more it sucked me in. I devoured it in about 10 hours.
So, now you all have done that to me and had me read something so different to my usual. Do you have any other similar books to recommend? No EmHen, she makes my eyeballs sore.
I am happy to broaden my horizons a bit more now!

This absolutely made my morning
I bought a book. I’m not even sorry, awful appointment at the speech therapist and buying a book helped soothe my broken heart. It was only 99p and Jodi would be glad

I am slumping too! bah. Like everyone else I am spending too much time on my phone/computer. Need to be stricter with myself about screen time I think.
i find I slump when reading a book I’m not really enjoying. Currently The Rachel Papers has me in a slump. So now I need to power through it so I can move on
I havent read Pre Loved however 100 years of lenni and margot, remarkably bright creatures, the collected regrets of clover
