When I’m at home, I do more listening than reading. Holidays are when I really get into my reading. And books always seem that much more enjoyable if I find them on a bookswap shelf. My most recent swaps came in the Lake District – picked up at the Castle Green Hotel in Kendal – and from various locations across Melbourne in January 2025. I’ve only just starting adding my reading catalogue to Goodreads – so I’m sure the lists below will grow. I’ll even be adding the occasional book review. You can also find some of my favourite travel-related reads on Trip Fiction.

In 2025, I’m going to be blogging using the books I’m reading as my inspiration – 52 for 52 in 2025.
