Welcome @Dakota_Rose and a lot of us do books so let us know if you need any suggestions.

@DundeeDoll - I loved Conclave, but haven't done the book so I may give that a try. Did you see the BBC doc on it, was really interesting hearing those involved talk about what the film got right (and wrong)

Only 2 updates from me for week 3: 

1. Catch up with all old friends in person - 4 Lovely catch ups with 3 more old friends over a night out and lunch. 
9. Read 26 books - 3/26 - The Law by Frederick Bastiat. Very interesting! 

I'm also a Robert Harris fan and loved Conclave. In fact, I have Precipice on my bookshelf, so I'll choose that as my next read - thanks for the inspiration!

I literally could not put Precipice down - I hope you enjoy it too.

And had a lovely swim followed by a sauna so will count the sauna as my s for self-care

4 dinners with family coming right up!

Will try to read a book. Probably a cook book. I know that’s kind of cheating.

Going to go for a long walk along the coast. Will also take a water bottle on the walk.

1/6 long walks.

some of the 20 alphabets are going very well, still not made a start on two of them, but plenty of time.
a bit behind with the 26 minutes sorting a day and 26 minutes piano a day - have just completed decluttering 19th Jan and piano 15th Jan 😂 no litter picking as yet as far too cold and miserable. The dog does not seem to mind.
off to read a bit more of my D book (Death of a red heroine) then another piano, another delutter, the last workout in the C for Clean Cardio workout programme then off for C for Cocktails (self-care alphabet)
