Introduction: I live in Glasgow and I'm an engineer who loves to read. I will try to read anything but I particularly like dark academia, women's wrongs and romance books that will make me cry. I will also read sci-fi, fantasy and The classics.
2025 In's:
📗Reading books I already own. Only new books are pre-orders or 99p kindle books.
☕Buying coffee out! I want to explore new coffee shops.
🕚Track everything!
📵Less time on my phone. Not going to quantify this, just less time...

And I will not read a single 1!
What's interesting about this trend for book marketing AI companies—who secure £Xmil in seed funding, get a write-up in the Bookseller, and will now wither away, leaving only a slime trail of AI generated goop across the surface of culture—is mainly what it says about capital’s engagement with books

Use your library! Use Libby!
I’ve mentioned this before, but if you’re short on cash but have an urge to shop, go to your library digital apps and browse the books, audiobooks, movies, shoes, magazines. It works really well to give you the same feeling without spending the cash. (Plus you’re supporting public libraries.) 💙📚
