So very this! Especially about plot - I need a good plot to make me turn the pages, so I read a vast amount of crime fiction because it gives me a good plot and a ton of other things along with it. I do believe some books are better than others, but no one genre is better than the rest.

I don't like dried fruit, so that curtails my Xmas eating! And I pretty much don't drink these days either - tho there's still chocolatey goodness; I'll have an extra couple of Roses for you 😂

I mostly only read headlines these days, for the sake of my blood pressure...

An easy win - they get to look virtuous, safe in the knowledge Ofcom won't be hardline so even if the Aberdeen prog stays there'll be fewer news journos to ask them awkward questions...
