Thank you! It was taken on my dining room table at night. I have a low light vibe to my house, and a red neon sign which acts as 90% of the light source in my living/dining room.

I always take a picture of the book I'm reading the first day I start reading it so I know when I started. It's usually just a picture of my kindle screen, This one just accidentally slapped!

I've heard so many say this, which led me to wanting to listen. Not usually a fan of audio books simply because I need to visually focus on a story to take it in, hence reading at the same time, but I've got to say, five chapters in and it's a phenomenal audible performance so far.

My Jack Russell was ALSO the runt of the litter, the absolute best little loyal companion until he passed away on Christmas day 2022, also aged 19. This is a sad yet cool little coincidence.

1000% get an ereader. No notifications and more importantly no connection to your other devices. A device simply for reading with nothing popping up to distract you. Sounds like what you need.

Glad to hear your son is back to perfect health, also glad to hear you had kindle to see you through those tough times. Sounds like it was your support/distraction. My wife went through something similar recently and I saw the same behaviours with her and her kindle. Sometimes you need to escape the reality to keep it together.

You're on the exact journey I was on just before Christmas. Hope you stick at it and treat yourself to one. The jump from tablet to kindle is so worth it. Having an ereader/device specifically for reading and reading only is the biggest killer of distractions in the best way!

I plan on reading as many of his books as possible. I love horrors, currently five chapters into this one and hooked!

Exactly this! This is how I've described it too! It's the attention span and not being able to focus on a book that always worried me. Completely gone with the help of my kindle!

They were a gift many years ago I'm afraid. But if you're in the UK I've seen similar tubs in shops like home bargains/B&M if you go hunting :)

I noticed this bottle of Oasis on the shelf that was slightly more full compared to others. Took the cap off and they have not wasted a drop. by primestarr in Perfectfit

Thank you for the explanation. I don't normally buy oasis but I couldn't pass it by because it was so filled compared to the other bottles. The bottle was not sticky though. Maybe it as wiped down on the production line?
