Ill and off on long term sick, Sadie had quickly got bored being at home all day. One morning, going into the box bedroom, now a storage room, Sadie found a box which contained books from her university days, now fifteen years in the past.
Inside, she found classic literature; Wuthering Heights, Jane Eyre, Frankenstein, Robinson Crusoe, The Monk and many more titles.
Sadie smiled remembering those too fast gone by days. Thinking, I’ve more time now to read and enjoy them, Sadie selected one of the books and began turning the yellowing pages.

Oh, what joy. My toes tingle, my breath catches, sharing her anticipation. I can smell the paper. Unfortunately, I have to break the spell, for I have asthma and the dust gets to me.

I have a kindle but I find it hard to read off for some reason.

I find it doesn’t always want to turn one page at a time. And scooting back can be a nightmore. And I’m terrified I’ll drop it in the bath. But on the plus side, no sore throat, itchy eyes, a cough and wheeze
