March

Life has been busy and joyful for the past month. Each of my children celebrated birthdays, turning 21, 19 and 17, and Zeus had his 10th birthday!

I’ve decided to combine my weekly newsletter posts with my monthly reading check in as my life has recently taken a different turn, for the better, but also, for the busier. I am now working full-time in a professional role, back in education but this time in the private sector and in a role that works with staff rather than students. I am thrilled. The champagne has been flowing here. I feel like I might be able to make the newsletter posts more meaningful with a combined monthly one rather than weekly.

What I’ve been watching:

Jojo Rabbit is hands down one of the best films I’ve seen in awhile. The third and final season of Sanditon has arrived, episodes dropping weekly. Daisy Jones and the Six was a surprisingly good watch. I say surprisingly, because I actually didn’t enjoy the book. The TV series on the other hand, I loved! Your Place or Mine was an endearing watch, surprisingly good for Netflix who are proving themselves to be below par for movies. This one had a nice bookish undercurrent and a solid friends to lovers theme. Carnival Row is back for its second and final season. I am yet to get past episode two, not for any reason to do with enjoyment, rather, I’ve just been very tired of late and it requires a bit of concentration to follow along.

What I’ve been reading:

Throughout March, I read eight books, a number that is consistently proving to be my average. Six were review books, two were from my Kobo tbr.

Currently reading:

I’m currently reading Homecoming by Kate Morton, her long-awaited upcoming book. It’s wonderful and immersive, as are all her books, but so very long. It’s taking me ages! A week of reading and I’m just on half-way. So far though, I do recommend it.

Until next month! Good reading x
