Holiday reading - trying to get outside every day to read. This is my book club’s choice, and it is fascinating; there is so much I didn’t know @blueskybooks.bsky.social

The book has inspired me to get back outside and enjoy nature more. First trip out; 430 metre gain but wow! It was worth it to feel amazing in the outdoors gain.

Having thoroughly enjoyed The Salt Path by Raynor Winn I’m now starting The Wild Silence. It seems fitting to be reading it with the backdrop of Vancouver Island, as I take a ferry to go and see a good friend @blueskybooks.bsky.social

Each time I read the book, it will remind me of my own youth, completing university in Plymouth and learning the trade of teaching in various schools in Devon and Cornwall. I’m going to pause and find maps and remember my time at each of the places. @blueskybooks.bsky.social

Committed to having a calmer breakfast, I will sit each morning have my break and with my coffee read before I go to work. @blueskyreadersclub.bsky.social @raynorwinn.bsky.social

📚day 6: book that broke your heart. The time traveller’s Wife. I thought that she spent her entire life waiting for that one more moment together heartbreaking because of everything she missed in between.

Each book I read, I intend to create a bookmark with a quote that deeply resonates with me. Here’s an extraordinary quote from Sunrise on the Reaping by Suzanne Collins. #sunriseonthereaping #blueskybooks #bookmarks #bookmarkquotes #canva

Ahhh, books. The only thing I turn to when I can't afford any therapy.

This article sure summarizes it. 📚💕 #booksky #wednesdaythought #bookworm www.cnn.com/2025/03/24/h...

Why reading is a form of therapy | CNN

Books can have a powerful effect on people. Bibliotherapy offers a chance to slow down and turn inward as well as gain personal insights.

📚day 2: favourite book from your favourite author. This was my first post Covid read that was set during Covid and I loved the characters and the exploration of the madness of crowds. #louisepenny #blueskybooks

Right now, I am using #libby to read Nexus. I’m finding nonfiction a lot more enjoyable when I’m listening to it, especially when it’s read by the author.

These are definitely fabulous books. Have you watched the new TV series yet? I really enjoyed them. m.imdb.com/title/tt5607...

📚day 1: favourite book from a series
The Half-Blood Prince. The characters are well developed by then and we see the protagonists grow. #blueskybooks.
