Reading Roundup: July 2023
A monthly round up seems to be the thing to do if you have a book blog, so I thought I'd give it a try!
I need to find an solution for my lack of social connections
It is time to start talking about loneliness.
Cat Lady by Dawn O’Porter
Entertaining as an audiobook and it has some emotional punches, but my take away was "well, that was odd." 🐱 - ⭐⭐⭐ 3/5 Stars
Newsletter #4: Just Doing The Thing (Issue 4, July 2023)
I have FINALLY got around to writing up a Newsletter for Substack. Long delayed (2 months!) as I've been so busy actually posting things to this site! This one is really just a round up of what I have had going on over here.
Barbie (2023)
I loved it! It was so funny and so weird, and so real. 🎬
I don’t like The Lord of the Rings, I’m sorry.
I tried, I am not a fan of The Lord of The Rings.. but I do love Gollum.
Potting up my Lego Succulents
They look so cute now in their proper plant pots 🪴
Thoughts on Building a Second Brain by Tiago Forte
If you know nothing about note taking & organisation maybe its useful, but its another repackaging-the-obvious this-is-a-blog-post book! 🧠
Cress (The Lunar Chronicles #3) by Marissa Meyer
The series continues with our "Rapunzel" escaping her satellite prison with the help of Cinder and her crew. Maybe the best book in the series? - ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4/5 Stars
Troy by Stephen Fry
Stephen Fry's fun spin on the mythology behind Troy, definitely best as an audiobook! - ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4/5 Stars
