Reading
Since 2024, I've picked up reading again as a hobby. There have been two crucial changes for me that have enabled this:
- Spotify has introduced an audiobook allowance of 10 hours per month
- I bought a Kindle
I started off reading on the bus while I commuted to a co-working space, then rediscovered audiobooks for the first time since I listened to Harry Potter as a teenager. I wanted to share what I've been reading almost entirely to benefit my ability to recall what I've read. Now that I've got two children, time to read is hard to come by, so this list will grow slowly.
