Share your reading experiences
Reading has provided an respite from the gloom of the last twelve months, helped by the positive response from Livewire when they have been able to open libraries. You may been acquiring new books from sources other than libraries, in addition to re-reading old favourites that have been sitting on a bookshelf. We wondered if our SWISH members would like to share some of their reading experiences from 2020.
