My baby has kept me pretty busy this year. With all the diaper changes and constant feeding, I don’t have as much time to write, photograph, or draw as much as I’d like to.
However, I do get to enjoy one hobby a lot more: reading.
During late night feeding sessions, my son can nurse easily for 30 minutes at a time. As a newborn, he’d wake me up every hour and a half to two hours to eat. As a result, I had a lot of time to rock him with one arm and read with the other. Although I can’t juggle a traditional hardbound or paperback book in one hand, I can read via the Libby App on my phone.
I think I’ve read more in the last few months than I have in the last few years combined. Here’s my current list of books I’ve read.
