Bookish Mumma

I unfortunately don’t have the freedom to be able to leave the house often as I have a debilitating autoimmune disease and also a very anxious dog. I also work from home, so my whole life revolves around my desk really. I read to escape it all and I know that sharing what I think of the books I read with others, is very satisfying and entertaining. So, why not share it all online with the people who might enjoy it most?

My disease means that leaving the house can be a nerve wracking experience and full of uncertainty as it is invisible, but when I need help, it can become visible and humiliating very fast. Over the last couple of months, it has been getting progressively worse as I can’t afford to address it, so I just stay home most of the time. I stay home, I read, I pat my dog or I work. What I wouldn’t give to be able to do away with it and be outside in the fresh air more often or walk down the street.

So while I can’t do a lot due to my health, I can sit and I can read and I can live a million lives in the comfort of my own home. I can ride dragons, I can wield magic and I can be a ferocious queen. Just because my body is limited, that doesn’t mean that my mind has to be.
