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 people who have read the observed article about Raynor Winn, and here is her rebuttal. www.raynorwinn.co.uk

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.

#relaxing #outdoors the power of this waterfall was immense. Never seen it this full before. #shannonfalls

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

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.

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...

📚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

Always love seeing new words. www.dictionary.com/browse/trust...

I found it was much truer to the books and enjoyed it much more.

I’m asking my local library to get a copy.

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.

His Dark Materials (TV Series 2019–2022) ⭐ 7.8 | Adventure, Drama, Fantasy 1h | TV-14

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

I just restarted exercising today. Thought I could jump straight back into swimming 1km first go back. Oh how mistaken I was. Have now used AI to create a return to swimming schedule at a much easier pace. All suggestions appreciated. #exercise #50+fitness
