Update on sickness and book reviews

I am still coughing badly but I managed to sit outside for 20 minutes this morning. I’ve been struggling with breathing and stairs but at least I managed to spend most of the day awake, though I’m going to bed soon.

Book reviews: due to not being able to do much other than sleep and read I am now on my forth book and will therefore have four reviews for you to enjoy, just as soon as I can breathe properly and form coherent thoughts.
