The 'trampoline wars' FG Off Topic Thread

Hello :waves:

Happy Christmas to all. I hope it's a lovely one. I wasn't around much in the past few months due to RL stuff. Hopefully I can get back on the Sheep/WW/Walrus/etc wagon in the new year! Thanks to my co-mods for stepping up in my absence.

I hope Santy is unreal to yiz all, and may your spuds be crispy.

I'm not back to school until Monday, but have a metric **** tonne of stuff to do here. I was also off school sick for the week before we broke (I had the flu) so have to catch up on corrections / reports / etc too! Currently trying to find space on my bookshelves for my Christmas books haul...

Night Boat to Tangier.
Gutsy Women.
Talking to Strangers.
I'm the Border, so I am.
The Education of an Idealist.

I just checked my kindle unlimited... I borrowed/returned 72 books since 3/1/19... I'd say I read maybe 80% of them. Then on top of that, I read some paper books and then other books that I bought on my kindle. I'd say I probably read 80 books this year. Maybe more.

However!!! I don't watch movies. I rarely watch much TV (beyond the odd Netflix binge). I don't play any mad computer games or anything. So my main outlet is reading. Team that with insomnia, being a teacher so having 3 months off, and an ability to speed read chick-lit, I chew them up.

Also, disclaimer: about 75% of the books on my kindle unlimited are chick-lit that don't require thinking. My non-kindle unlimited books are a strict 50/50 mix of fiction/non-fiction, and my paper books are 90% non-fiction.
