this has definitely been a year when lots of people struggled to read
Yes, indeed!
adulthood comes with lots more responsibilities which mean you can't necessarily have the uninterrupted reading time you did as a child
Yes, indeed!
(Have you ever read The Magician's Book: A Skeptic's Adventures in Narnia by Laura Miller? Miller loved Narnia as a child, then felt betrayed when she recognized the Christian symbolism as a teenager (she grew up Catholic and hated it), avoided Narnia for many years, then re-read as an adult. The Magician's Book is - among many other things - a meditation on reading as a child vs. reading as an adult. It's a fascinating book; I highly recommend it.)
now I finally have a comfy chair upstairs it's winter and I'm tired all the time
Fatigue definitely has a big impact, for me. So often I'm just too tired to read.
