Bookseller holiday day 7: how much does a bookseller read while away?

Day at sea yesterday meant either laying in the sun, or in bed reading. So i got 294 pages of The Last Letter by Rebecca Yarros read. That means another book finished while away.

Bookseller holiday day 6: how much does a bookseller read while away?

Day 6 was Ajaccio in Corsica, and we were so knackered after Rome. So we had a small stroll through the quaint streets, went to a local food market, then got back on the ship and chilled.

I read while i had coffee, and then waiting for the show to start in the evening.

Got to 35% of The Last Letter by Rebecca Yarros, so that is 150 pages.

Also, please enjoy the last picture which is of me and Saturday Boy infront of the most beautiful sunset i have ever seen last night.

Bookseller holiday day 5: how much does a book seller read while away?

Day 5 was a very exciting day…. We went to Rome!!

It was a very early start and a long day, but the 2 hour bus journey either way meant that I finished Dissection Of A Murder by

Great book, would recommend. So that was 146 pages today.

Yesterday was the port of Lovorno, and we took and excursion to Florence, which meant we were off the ship for 11 hours.

Bookseller holiday day 2: how much does a bookseller read while on holiday?

Yesterday was Barcelona, and because the Pope was in town, we decided to abandon our plan to see the basilica and instead booked to go to Barcelona Zoo.

In terms of reading, i read a little of ‘Dissection Of A Murder’ while in bed before breakfast, and then once we were back on the ship and by the pool.

65 pages in total for today.

Bookseller Holiday Day 1: how much does a bookseller read?

So it was travel day which meant a 4am arrival at the airport. Breakfast was consumed, and a cheeky little bit of book shopping happened, and then we were off.

I was finishing off Iron Flame by Rebecca Yarros, and over the course of the flight and the evening sun bathing, i finished it. So that is 220 pages to my page total.

But also, I had a little look in the cruise ship library, and I wasn’t joking when i said I couldnt escape 😂

I was going to start a new book but then I was dead to the world…
