I got my reading mojo back recently and have read a lot in the last few weeks. This is mainly because we still haven’t sold our house, so we’re in a boring limbo which involves lots of cleaning and sitting around whilst people wander around our house. Hopefully someone will buy it soon so that we can move onto the next stage of our lives.
Books of the Month
There were two stand-out books this month:
- It’s All In Your Head by Suzanne O’Sullivan – a fascinating look at psychological illness.
- A Whole Life by Robert Seethaler – an atmospheric novella that shows how life changes for one man living in the Austrian mountains.
I highly recommend reading both of them!
