readingtogetherHello everyone. This weekend I am going to be on trains for about 12 hours over three days, and I would like to spend more of it reading and less of it doomscrolling. To join in the challenge, set a realistic goal or two in the comments and I'll make a check-in post in about 72 hours to see how we all do.

I've almost never read a historical book where I can visualise all the places being talked about (not the ones from the town inland so much, because it has been a couple of decades since I've visited there).
