Very late posting this because on the 1st of October we moved house.
We had 21 years of accumulated stuff to move and that was after we thought we had cleared a lot.
Spoiler Alert. We had, but also we hadn’t…
Anyway, we’re in, and we have both been unpacking and taking stuff to the dump and charity shops still. We have decided that certain rooms will just be unpacked before we can begin the filtering process that we should have done a long time ago. It was a wrench after 21 years, but we love where we now are, and it will suit us, and our disabled daughter when she visits, perfectly.
As for reading, I hadn’t really read much for the first ten days, a grand total of two books, but have now read three more as the amount of things that we have to do is easing. Not completely sure what I am going to be reading, but I am working my way through the library books and others as they are unpacked. These are the library books I have out, so I will pick from these for the remainder of the month, when hopefully a slightly more normal service will resume in November:

Nature’s Genius: Evolution’s Lessons for a Changing Planet – David Farrier
