These are the books I've acquired over the winter months, the bookworm version of stockpiling if you will. Rather than getting food and warm materials like an animal, I have collected books to warm my soul.
There's a few Christmas presents, books I can't remember why I bought and a few with some rather random reasonings behind them...

New Year, Same Me. This month I read a fantastic book, an ok book, a little bit of poetry and started another book (despite currently juggling about 5 different books...yes, I'm still reading The Wind Up Bird Chronicle!)
As usual, I watched loads of movies, but because I didn't do a December wrap-up, I thought I'd talk about the films I watched in December and January in this video.
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.
So I watched more than 30 movies in August, in my defence some were short films so… but tbh I had a blast so I don’t really need to excuse myself. Cinema is one of my biggest passions and from time to time I’ll get completely consumed by it and thats kind of what happened this past month.
Find out what films and books I read in August:
In the attempt to find myself basking in the glory of finishing several books by the end of a month I have set myself the colossal task of reading 5 books in August. Watch the video to find out what books I’ll be tackling throughout the rest of this month.
Let me know what books you are reading this month in the comments section!
