I’m still waiting to hear back from university regarding my PhD and I’m starting to get nervous. I’m in a state of limbo; finding it difficult to focus on anything in particular while I await a decision. Luckily I have something wonderful to occupy my time.

I always said I didn’t really want a Kindle but, living in a small flat, the pile of books beside my bed, in the living room, in the cupboard, was beginning to get a bit much. Since this rather wonderful gift from my husband I have been doing a lot of this:

I’m finding that my obsession with ‘trash’ literature is waining and I’m enjoying trawling through some classics. Having completed a literature degree, and being an English teacher, I’m embarrassed to say that I haven’t read widely in a great many genres. The Kindle is helping me to over come this. I have to get my trash fix somewhere though and have become addicted to BBC Three.
