Farewell winter, hello spring! August was a good month for reading (and listening) with 11 books being enjoyed throughout the month. I was fortunate enough to read an advanced copy of Rapture by Emily Maguire, which I adored, it's not out until October, so get excited for that one. Another advanced October release I scored was Into the Storm by Cecelia Ahern, brilliance once again from the Irish Queen of #lifelit. Dipping my toe into Japanese fiction last month with two excellent titles, A Perfect Day to Be Alone and Butter. I still have a book hangover from Butter. Listening highlights, well, only The Work let me down somewhat, the rest were all terrific.
Two movies, one with the gal pals from work, It Ends With Us, which had us weeping into our popcorn, and Anyone But You, which I watched with my best girl, my daughter, and it was a fun flick. TV wise, Bloodlands season two was a brilliant follow up to its first season and as was the case with The Responder, this seemed like one story split into two parts rather than two distinct seasons. Strife has been on my watch list for way too long, happy to have finally binged that one. Asher was terrific, as always, and I am quite partial to a journo story, so winning right there. Emily in Paris returned with half of its latest frothy season and it was light, fun, a bit meh, but still watchable. My Lady Jane was very funny, very clever, and very bingeable, totally recommend that one.
Until next month, good reading.
