I love cooking and reading

Yet another long weekend is here. My weekends mostly end in whizz, with me toiling in the kitchen either cooking or baking. So, this weekend, I thought of making some make ahead munching snacks, to save little time for me. Months back I have downloaded few books on kindle, but not getting time to read any. If I enjoy anything after cooking then it is reading. I love to read fiction and if the book is engaging, I end up staying awake till wee hours of the night to complete it. 

But with growing priorities and work, I get exhausted by the time I hit the bed and sleep follows. Though I always carry my e-reader to bed, I rarely open it to read a paragraph or page before sleep engulfs me. So this weekend I thought I will complete at least one book from my long pending downloaded book collection. Hope I read at least few chapters. Do you read too? If so tell me what are you currently reading?
