High quality reading this month, with only one exception (Juja). The rest were excellent, with Lioness adding to my #AYearofNZLit. So far, I've read an NZ book each month for this focus, so I feel I'm on track for making my way through my planned reading list with a few extra additions. Tidelines and Juja were review books sent to me by publishers, while Tom Lake, Lioness, and Everyone and Everything were from the tbr, all read on my Kobo.
Listen:
Back to listening while driving to and from work and also in the evenings sometimes while cooking dinner, so my audio book total was up this month. It was a mixed bag; I didn't much like Seven Sisters, found The Hummingbird Effect confusing, The Other Bridget was okay but incredibly long for a romcom. However, When God Was a Rabbit...just sublime, and also read by the author, Sarah Winman, which is just an added layer of perfection. But more on that later when I review it.
Watch:
A lot of viewing this month. Movie wise, M and I went to see One Love in the cinema, it was fabulous. Love at First Sight was a Saturday afternoon Netflix watch which surprised and delighted (probably me more than M, lol). Other viewing from TV land, well, Survivor is back and that's an auto watch for youngest son and I, something we've done together for the last few years. Griselda and The Responder were series M and I watched together, I'd say I liked The Responder more than Griselda, but both were different to my usual solo viewing. The Doll Factory is an adaptation of the novel of the same name which I really enjoyed a few years ago. They did a great job with the series; it was just as frightening as the book was and it came off suitably Victorian Gothic in both theme and appearance. Belgravia - The Next Chapter is quite decadent and giving me all the feels that Downton Abbey used to (same creators). And last but not least, Expats, the latest Nicole Kidman TV series. It's not doing too well with the critics, but I personally really enjoyed it.
