I had the first week of January off, so this no doubt led to reading more books than what I usually manage in a month. One of the above was a whopping almost 800 pages long too, so I feel particularly satisfied with this month's end result. Five titles were review ones - The Glass House, The Search Party, We All Lived in Bondi Then, Body of Lies and Bird Life - with the remaining from my own tbr, two of which were read for my book club - Prophet Song and With Love from Wish & Co. Book of the month goes to We All Lived in Bondi Then.
Listen:
Time off work meant less time driving so in effect, less time listening. The Stolen Book of Evelyn Aubrey was terrible, The Conversion was brilliant.
Watch:
A lot of watching going on this month. Partly because I was on holidays for some it, also probably owing in some part to the persistent heat wave we've been experiencing.
TV Shows - there was a lot of Australian TV on in my house this month with season two of The Tourist, season four of Bump, and the long-awaited premiere of Boy Swallows Universe. All quality viewing. I also squeezed in a British crime mini-series, The Pembrokeshire Murders and finally finished the last two seasons of The Crown. No prizes for guessing that Boy Swallows Universe was the pick of the month for best TV show.
Movies - another long-awaited release, Force of Nature, dropped into cinemas towards the end of January. I went to see it with my Aussie crime watching son and we both really enjoyed it. I watched Mary Shelley after reading and loving Mary Or, The Birth of Frankenstein last month. Highly recommend this film, it was excellent. I watched Peter Pan and Wendy for the nostalgia, it was a great family movie, my adult children would all have really loved these live action remakes Disney are doing if they had of come out when they were younger. The Favourite and Past Lives were movie nights for M and I. All in all, we were all very well entertained for the month of January. Movie of the month goes to Force of Nature.
Until next month, happy reading, listening and watching!
