I have had two kids over the past four years so I have been fairly busy and not always sleeping through the night due to frequent wake ups, etc. However, both of my kids are sleeping through the night now so I have decided to start reading again with a New Year’s resolution to read one book per month. Well I have rekindled my love of reading (with my kindle, da da dum) and have already read a dozen books or so but unfortunately now that my kids are sleeping through the night, I am not. I have become obsessed with my books that I can no longer go to bed at a reasonable hour and when I wake up in the middle of the night I must pick up where I left off. I am getting less than six hours of sleep per night almost very night and I keep telling myself I won’t do that again bc of how tired I am the next day.. but I can’t stop! How can reading books be this enjoyable. So my question is… any good book recs?

THE UNCOMMON READER by Alan Bennett is about a … notable person whose life is *also* turned upside down from reading too much.
The Fisherman by John Langan
what books have you read this year? ive been DNFing recently and am getting in a slump
Haha I was expecting the question at the end to be sleep related
I’m in the same boat as you. Every morning I learn my lesson about staying up reading, and every night I do it again
What do you like to read, so i can give you a recommendation?
Without knowing anything, I’m going to point you towards Wanda Coleman’s Imagoes. Coleman is a skilled poet, but also very approachable. This book is rich in detail, and Coleman works with juxtaposition in interesting ways. Absolutely amazing work
