Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “chapter.” Use it any way you’d like. Enjoy!

I'm sure when I was young I would be pleading to read just one more chapter when it was time for bed.
I've always been a reader. I worked my way through a lot of Enid Blyton's books, then things like Little Women, What Katy Did, Black Beauty and so on.
As an adult I've read a lot of crime thrillers, including Agatha Christie, some classics, and a few fantasy and science fiction books. (The Lord of the Rings, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.) I like to challenge myself so I'm doing the 52 book Club challenge again this year which involves reading 52 books over the year relating to a set of prompts. Some prompts are simple - e.g. book title beginning with the letter O, some require more research e.g. Author's bio mentions their dog.
This is the third year of doing the challenge and it has pushed me to read books I wouldn't normally look at. I've also been in 2 in person book clubs since last year and that has also widened my reading.
I'm currently reading this:
which starts of with Cora going with her 9 year old daughter Maia to register the birth of her new born son. What follows is the story told from 3 POVs depending on whether the baby becomes Bear, Julian or Gordon. The book seems to be moving on in 7 year gaps but each new year has a chapter about each of the 3 individuals. So of course you can't just read one more chapter when the time moves forward, you have to read three!
Good job I'm now an adult and can do as I please, and retired so I can have a lie in if I've read late into the night.
