Bedside Books - Monica McInerney
I’ve just done a count of the books beside my bed waiting to be read. There are nearly one hundred. If I set up shelves and organised them properly, I could have sections for history, fiction, literature, children’s, poetry, cookbooks, self-help, memoir. There’s even a picture book, and several book-related magazines.
I’ve been gathering them during the year, hoping a week will magically appear when all I have to do is read. That scenario hasn’t happened yet, but I’m keeping an eye on the week between Christmas and New Year as my Reading Time. If it comes off, here are the ten books I’ll be choosing from the top of the pile.
