What book are you reading now?

Kitsune

I decided that I needed a new book to read and managed to find one on my bookshelf that I’d only half read so thought I’d finish it off: Tower, An epic History of the Tower of London by Nigel Jones. I just wondered what everyone else is reading at the moment? What does everyone else like to read?

  • I used to be an avid reader, and writer, but don't do much of either anymore. Although I am currently reading an interesting book about mortuary science for work. But before that, I did used to read books like Harry Potter and Narnia back in 2015.

    I also used to be an avid reader but don't really have the time at the moment. What do you work as?

    I struggle for time as well now. Something always seems to be happening. I am a mortician's assistant, a good job for someone like me as it requires very little socialising. I also enjoy it because it means I'm there in the last minutes of a persons life, keeping them company and looking after them.

    My work include assisting the mortician during autopsies, photographing, recording details and cleaning. I find it all very interesting and it makes me feel closer to my family doing this work.

    Thank you again :-) I really do enjoy being a mum to my 3 daughters. Yeah it is nice not being pressured to work all the time, I just fit it in when I can.

    That's ok, i think that the noise cancelling ear plugs are more subtle than the head phones which might be better for you at work.

    It's ok. It was awful at the time but it's a very long time ago now. I guess what I did learn from it though, is that time does heal. It takes time but we do adapt and recover from loss. It is possible to feel happy again.

    I'm not usually too bad with lights and sounds, except if I'm feeling anxious, then they really bug me! When it is bad it tends to be lots of background noise that affects me, such as lots of different conversations and stuff.

    I'm sure you'll enjoy being a mum in your own time :-)

    I am and Thank you again!
