I've officially run out of space in my little TBR cart, so I think that's a sign I need to go on a book-buying ban for a bit 😅

This is definitely Hugo 🙃
Four panel comic. First: dog watches human on treadmill and says "walking...". Second: dog says "... but not walking". Third: dog watches human doing push ups and says "pushing... but not pushing". Fourth: dog leaps on human and says "ENOUGH OF THIS NONSENSE!"

Suerte has sent me into a food coma and I am 100% ok with that.

Since tweeting this I now have 37 unread books on my shelf, 25 on preorder and have actually read about 8. I should probably go on a book-buying ban😅
