Lockdown
I love reading and always have. I grew up surrounded by books and people who also loved to read.
If my sister or I ever uttered the words "I'm bored" we were always directed to pick up a book.
In recent years I haven't read anywhere near as much as I would have liked. It's a matter of time. Like most actors, I work full time at something else as well and then try to fit in classes for my professional skills around the "money" job. This makes spare time a thing always slightly out of reach.
When I do have time to read, say during a commute, I would try to catch up with my industry related publications, namely The Stage newspaper and Empire magazine. I'm also often learning lines or preparing for something, so reading time became work time.
This lockdown has afforded me some time and I'm using it to read where I can. And I'm loving it!
I will read almost anything - this year I've read Americanah by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie which was excellent, so beautfully written. I've just finished The Weight of Ink by Rachel Kadish - a very interesting book. Currently reading Small Great Things by Jodi Picoult which is gripping!
