The #ScottishBookTrust pointed to #audiobooks for (re-)connecting to #reading, e.g.,:
https://www.scottishbooktrust.com/articles/all-reading-is-good-reading-audiobooksNot for me* for #Januread, but I just finished the "Witcher of Salem" heptalogy (Wolfgang Hohlbein, abridged, read by Jürgen Hoppe). #Lesen
And my favourite ones are probably the readings of #Murakami 's
Dance, Dance, Dance (Rupert Degas) and
#Hardboiled Wonderland und das Ende der Welt (David Nathan).Januread:

To further engage people taking part in #Januread, the #ScottishBookTrust shared Doug Johnstone's
10 must-read Scottish novels. I have read appallingly few ones of these 😅You can read the list here:
https://www.heraldscotland.com/life_style/25705813.doug-johnstones-top-scottish-reads-support-festive-book-appeal/"The Wasp Factory" (Iain Banks) is a harrowing read, but I enjoyed it very much indeed!
"In Ascension" by Martin MacInnes is now on my list.
I enjoy at the moment reading the #Scottish Book Trust short story collections from and about #Scotland:

Today's #Januread is from the Scottish Book Trust's collection
"Scotland's Stories"
https://www.scottishbooktrust.com/book-week-scotland/scotlands-stories"My #Scotland is filled with colour."
"Have you ever tried gulab jaman?"
"The house had been on the market for months with no sign of a buyer, so I consulted a witch."

Januread is about reading every day in January:
https://www.scottishbooktrust.com/reading-and-stories/janureadSome rules I set myself:
1) Read (or read to someone) for 15min uninterrupted.
2) Since I read a lot for work: It has to be leisure reading or purely curiosity driven.
3) Since I read a lot on screens: It needs to be a physical book.

Preparing for #Januread, reading every day in January:
https://www.scottishbooktrust.com/reading-and-stories/janureadThought of some rules:
1) Read (or read to someone) for 15min uninterrupted.
2) Since I read a lot for work: It has to be leisure reading or purely curiosity driven.
3) Since I read a lot on screens: It needs to be a physical book.
Anything to add?
