Reading
I love reading! I read before going to bed, at the gym, on the commute, on the sofa, in that cozy corner in our home office, at the coffeehouse, on a plane, in the toilet, in the toilet on the plane (no way), on the train, all-the-time. Here’s what I’m reading and have read in the past, plus some reviews (and I’ve also got a GoodReads if you’re into that).
