…because men in books are better
So, 2021 was a good year for me in terms of books. I haven't read 45 books in a year in, well, years. I probably haven't read 45 books in a year since I was a kid, when my grandparents and I used to go to our local library every Friday evening to select our … Continue reading 2021 in books
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BjpA6IH_Skc The book is by far superior. Thank you for coming to my TED talk. Okay, I know I should probably go into a little bit more detail than that. So, I was visiting family in my delightful (note the slight sarcasm) hometown of Lincoln the other week and while having a wander around the … Continue reading Book versus movie: ‘Rosemary’s Baby’
Well, like July, I didn't read too much in August. I read three books. In all honesty, though, I've been struggling with my mental health for the past couple of months. I've had depression and anxiety for well over a decade and both just seem to have been a lot worse recently. I'm on medication … Continue reading August in books
My partner and I decided to venture into Glasgow city centre on Friday after steering clear of it for pretty much the entirety of the pandemic thus far. After having some lunch, we went to the Savoy Centre on Sauchiehall Street, which is one of the city centre's main shopping streets. Inside, we were met … Continue reading Convenience versus the independent bookshop
I read a mere three books in July, but they were great books and that's what matters ultimately, right? I think quality is more important than quantity, plus my reason for not having got through too many books is pretty positive. My partner and I both had a week off, so we decided to go … Continue reading July in books

How are we more than halfway through the year already? 2020 was a complete write-off and I feel like 2021 has pretty much been the same so far. I try not to complain because I've been extremely lucky compared to other people over the course of pandemic. The nature of mine and my partner's jobs … Continue reading June in books
May was a pretty good month in terms of reading. I read five books; two horrors, two paranormal romances and one true crime. My enjoyment of these five reads varied, with Thin Air getting five stars and Night Train getting a measly two. All of the books that I read are listed below. To read … Continue reading May in books
It's honestly terrifying how we're into May already. I could talk about how 2021 has just felt like 2020 Part Two so far, but I'm going to try and focus on the positives instead. The latest statistics show that 14.9m are now fully vaccinated in the UK and, here in Scotland, we've been moved down … Continue reading April in books
I was going to start this post by saying how little I read throughout March, but that's not actually true. I read the grand total of five books, which is pretty good for me. Despite spending a lot of my free time reading, I am something of a slow reader. I don't know if I … Continue reading March in books
