Not quite ready to acknowledge that our little bout of summer-type weather is going to disappear soon and it'll be back to being rainy and chilly. So lovely to be in the garden with the hound and to #readforpleasure for a change, rather than for a deadline.

Research by @farshorebooks.bsky.social explored the increase in negative perceptions around reading as children get older. More than 20% of 12-13 year olds rarely choose to #readforpleasure. Social Reading Spaces aimed to base book clubs around the real wants and needs of adolescence

Absolutely smashed my 2024 #YearOfReading. 79 books and 3 theses. A real variety of genres too - thanks to lots of library loans. Turns out finishing your #PhD means you can find time to #ReadForPleasure again.

I suppose that sometimes reading a subject you don't care about can be considered a form of pain.
