I was laying awake in bed this morning and it struck me I had a blog on WordPress that I always fancied keeping up to date but somehow forgot about it. Luckily I had the username and password saved in the browser and well here it is.

I think i will certainly try my best to keep it updated more going forward and despite the username being ValleyReading, I would also like to get back into my hobby and interest of shaving things which I am a lapsed poster on Instagram of my Shave of The Day’s or SOTD. It was good fun to set up the photos and share my shave with other like minded people. It must be a year or so since I posted one. I really should get back into it.

Back to here and I should keep my reading up to date here, despite my laziness I do religiously keep my goodreads page up to date and as of right now have read 21 books out of 50 for my 2023 Reading Challenge. I just choose 50 as a nominal number and I know it will be exceeded to about 90 or even 100. I’m not a reader who will pad it out either with comics or short books, though I did read the entire Maigret series on 75 books, roughly 200 pages each. That was an enjoyable 4 years dipping in and out of them.

So if I remember and aren’t too lazy I will regularly update here with both my reading and shaving goings on.
