What I Read in October
In October, I did the seemingly impossible, I read two non-fiction books. Which is (and was) nearly impossible. I was lucky that Bourdain is so readable and fun because Miss Dior was a tome. It took nearly 7 weeks of lunch hour reading to finish it. Miss Dior by Justine Picardie This was a very…

What I Read in August
After an insane month of reading in July, it’s only fitting I guess that I only read one book in August. Beautiful World, Where Are You – Sally Rooney Overall, I’m still not certain what I think of Sally Rooney’s books, I have now read Normal People and this book, and I’m not sure if…

Mid-Week Procrastination Vol. 8
This week has been a bit of a roller coaster, I’m back at work after my week off and playing catch up and it’s been all over the place as stuff gets figured back out. But I do also feel refreshed and glad to be back at work. I also finished my week of project…

Saturday Scroll: 01/22/22

Best Books of 2021
I think this will be the very last round up post of 2021, it’s getting past the appropriate time for them. I have been putting it off because I don’t really know how to pick a favourite book or books. I don’t have a very objective reviewing system, and I have never been very good…

Influenced Vol. 1
I thought it would be fun to do a round up of the things that I have been influenced into buying. Originally, I was thinking about doing it as a 2021 round-up, but as I am very much someone who could be described as “very online”, being influenced is part of that, although I think…

What I Read in December
So it turns out I wasn’t in a reading rut, I was approaching burn out and exhaustion and all I needed was a good break and a few good nights sleep to want to and be able to read again. This is a gorgeous book and will be the start of my coffee table stack.…
