I've looked up a number of book clubs in the Edinburgh area and it looks like that will be a good source of inspiration and discipline. Happy reading! Hi Marsha,

That’s a good idea. I’ve looked up a number of book clubs in the Edinburgh area and it looks like that will be a good source of inspiration and discipline. Happy reading!

I always try to read new fiction as it comes out, plus reach out to read non-Anglo fiction when I can. I'm also lucky because I am the overseer of a library for a writers' residence. The library is charmingly eclectic so there's always something unusual to read. In terms of getting organised to read, I have 2 methods that work for me. The first is being a member of a book group, which means reading a book each month. The second is reserving through the local library any books that I've heard something good. Sometimes doing this results in a backlog, but it's better to get my hands on them and sample them rather than forget to look them up.
