While I didn't read as many books as I had hoped to in 2021 in fact I changed my goal from 75 to 50 to 45 to 40 to 30 and still failed lol! But everyone always says its quality over quantity and I must admit that I did read a few really great books, so without further ado here are the 8 books that I loved in 2021.
I often find myself struggling to pick up a book. I work full time, and I love movies (and TV shows tbh) a bit too much!
This year I've not read as much as I usually do, part of that is because I'm not a student anymore and I don't have to read 1 million books to pass an exam, and it's also because I'm a slow reader and I get tired of reading long books.
So in an effort to re-ignite the reading spark, I've started reading short books and here I will share some old faves and some recent discoveries and also somehow talk about movies again...FFS.
Did I watch Squid Game? Yes, like the rest of the universe, I'm sure even our alien neighbours in Alpha Centauri sat down and binged the Netflix drama. Let me know in the comments whether you're the only human on earth not to have watched it!
I also talk about the books I read, the TV shows that got me through the month and whether or not Denis Villeneuve’s Dune lived up to my expectations or not as a book reader - click here to read my full Dune Book Review.
Welcome back for another wrap up, in the video I’ll talk about all the books I read (including a semi savage discussion on Sally Rooney’s new book) and my Film and TV highlights of the month of September.
Apple has adapted perhaps the most notoriously unadaptable Sci-fi book series ever, yes even more unadaptable than Dune which I’m sure Denis Villeneuve has proven people wrong on that one anyway. But, yes, I’m talking about the father of science fiction, Isaac Asimov and his seminal series Foundation.
In the video I cover, cinematography, set design, characters, actor performances and what changes from the books I liked and others I didn’t.
Let me know what you think of Apple TV’s Foundation in the comments section
