Reading Round-Up: September/October 2024

Happy Halloween! I can't believe it's time for my penultimate reading round-up of the year already. Where has this year gone? Spending my days looking after my little one has meant lots of time for books, and I've been making the most of my downtime to catch up on my reading target. I'm determined to reach my goal of reading 50 books this year! 

You can catch up here if you missed my last reading round-up post.

Sleep Divorces: Better Sleep for Better Relationships?

AD* | The 'sleep divorce' concept - where couples sleep in separate beds or rooms to improve their sleep quality - has recently gained popularity among celebs and everyday couples alike.

Instead of opting for separate spaces, addressing sleep challenges as a team can foster deeper intimacy, better communication, and a stronger partnership.
