Mmmm, some of these might be more confessions than brags:
Brags:
1. I manage to read a lot of books - I can read fast and manage to read average 6 books and 6 audiobooks a month.
2. I can switch off while I am reading, so I get swept away while reading.
3. I managed to entertain a culture of reading for my boys - they love books as much as I do.
4. I work with numbers, but this mean I can listen to audiobooks while I am working.
5. My reading taste are diverse - so I read a lot of genres and from a lot of different authors.
Confessions:
6. I buy way to many books and I way to many unread books, but still manage to add more each month.
7. I love reading challenges, but this mean I commit to way to many reading plans which I manage to complete.
8. I will delay household duties in order to finish a good book.
9. I have way to many favourite authors, and can't keep up anymore with all of their published books.
10. I can isolate myself from people and life (including my family) while I am reading.

Here is a few books I enjoyed and rated 5 stars and felt it gave me that much needed escape.
The suspense books - gave me a thrill and make me focus on someone else's danger and needs and forget about work issues.
Contemporary books - these books was well written and made me for a few hours sit in someone else's shoes and realising my worries and concerns are not as bad.
The historical books - these all added some fun banter and other LOL moments, and laughter is always the best medicine.
Suspense:
2. Trapped
3. If I Run
4. Ned
Suspense:
5. Finding Me
6. Redemption
Historical:
10. In Good Company
