5. The Celts: A Very Short Introduction - Barry Cunliffe

I only read five books in 2024, but that's probably more books than I finished in 2023 (I'm not sure if Llyfr Glas Nebo and Fierce Appetites should actually count since I started them in 2023/2022, and didn't read the entirety in 2024).

I don't really do New Year's resolutions, but I definitely want to try and read more this year. I really struggle with reading longer things, like books, because of concentration/comprehension issues caused by my autism and fibromyalgia, and although most of these books are very thin, I still think I did well to read them. My main goals are to read more in Welsh, and to read more of my Celtic studies books (which are mostly in English), and I want to try and read something in Irish. I have the Irish translation of The War of the Worlds which I'm considering, although I've had a flick through and I'm not sure if it would be too hard for me. I also have the Cornish translation, and, although my Cornish is worse than my Irish, I might find it easier to read in Cornish, due to Cornish's similarity to Welsh. Or at least to muddle my way through. I'm also doing a short Breton course in a couple of weeks, so maybe I'll look for something short in Breton to read as well.

Currently I'm mainly worried about all the snow and ice warnings, which might mean I can't travel back to university for my Irish exam next week. And also exams just make me stressed anyway. But at least it's a written exam this time, and not a spoken one which I struggle with a lot more.
