Trying to work out what books to take with me on holiday, we're going to be away for around a month. Do I take 4 or 5 hefty tomes (600 pages plus each) or 9 to 10 smaller ones (200 to 300 pages each). Maybe a mix? Decisions, decisions. 📚📘💙 #books #booksky

Whilst my wife was in Holland & Barrett in #Hexham yesterday I fell through the doors of the shop next door, which happened to be @waterstones.bsky.social - what are the chances? Talk about coincidence, these 2 books fell into my hands. My #nonfiction #TBR list is now 27. 💙📘📚 #books #booksky
