Sorry again for another double-up, but we had an unexpected loss in the family. Some of these are episodes I’ve watched before, but we’re rewatching for Christmas.
READ
How to Make Money With Social Media – Jamie Turner and Reshma Shah:Interesting, but not something I’m really into exploring at the moment
Nine Pints – Rose George: This was absolutely fascinating and a little terrifying at the same time. I’ve noticed I read a lot of books like that this fortnight.
Twisted 26 – Janet Evanovich: This was great, and I loved having so much Grandma Mazur in it. She’s so much fun.
Daring to Drive – Manal Al-Sharif: This was interesting and terrifying at the same time.
Women and Power – Mary Beard: Taken from her lectures, this was an interesting read that looked at women’s power right back in the Western canon of literature.
The Witches Are Coming – Lindy West: I loved this book and it was so interesting
The Joyful Frugalista – Serina Bird:Got some helpful tips from this book – not often you find one of these types of books that focuses on Australia.
WATCHED
The Flash

This is the show we missed. I’m just sorry it took until the last two episodes of the final season to see it again.
NCIS

According to Jeff Goldblum
