This is the time I go through my to-be-read piles and essentially make another huge pile of books to read during the holidays. We have rented the same holiday cottage as last year. It does not have a TV and I will giddily leave my laptop at home again, the accommodation becoming my reading sanctuary. The others will go off and hike in the blazing sun, but I will happily stay put, find a comfy place and just catch up on some of the books I didn’t get to this year...
