I had a week off work. And this year we didn’t go on the usual January holiday, instead I’ve been up to Carlisle and back again and then mooched around the house and town for the rest of the week. But a four hour each way drive means you can’t read a book (if you’re driving, which I was) and quality time with the family is more important than reading. So this week’s list is heavy on the audiobooks and light on the new reads and finishing of long runners. But it was a lovely, lovely week.

Four books bought – which you saw on Saturday as the majority of the Books Incoming. Three in Bookends and one in Milton Keynes.
Bonus picture: Carlisle again! It was damp again. In fact when I’m there it’s almost never dry.

Verity Reads Books (lots of them) 
Glad that your week off was a lovely week despite not going on holiday. Sometimes it’s nice to just have mooching time.
Your week off sounds like a perfect blend of relaxation and family time. I love how you made the most of audiobooks during your drives and still managed to discover some interesting reads. It’s great to hear you had such a lovely week!
It was a really nice week – a bit different from the usual January week off (tends to be a winter sun holiday) but different in a good way.
