Well, I am a mod here, and unless something comes up, do these threads pretty much every week, you should take a peek and share you reading adventures.
Break from Social media is good, I wasn't around here most of the December, just got back to lemmy in January. Other than that, I don't really use any other social media app, so not a big issue for me.
Lego sounds fun, but unfortunately my kids aren't much into it, I would buy them some set and they will sit with me excitedly, but start getting bored in 10 mins and leave to do something else.
No, I haven't read The Expanse yet, but it's on my wish list. Last year I bought over 100 books, but read only around 30 something, so trying to go through some of the backlog and reduce the amount of books I buy each month. Though, I don't have much sci-fi series atm, so will probably end up getting it sometime soon.
Being a mod.... Well that makes sense!
I said social media but I probably should've just said "phone" haha.
Right now, not including the expanse 4-9, I'm sitting at 29 books I need to get through (they were all from the holidays pretty much + about a half dozen I just bought anyway).
The Expanse has been good so far. I'm only part way through book two but in both cases, first 150-200 pages are building but you get a good payout after that. I've been told that while the story spans the whole 9 books, there's a nice wrap up-ish after book 3. I'd say it's worth checking out if you need some sci-fi to break it up.
Lego, Lego retired sets and alternative bricks have been a lot of my reading time as my kids all like doing it now. Although, my youngest sounds like your kids.
I'll a point of checking in more - I'm not great for posting on lemmy but I am trying to comment more to help the traffic / community :)
