April Reading List

March Reading List

Welcome to my March Reading List! My goal for each month is to read at least ten books as well as dipping into the five books at the end of this post, so that by the end of the year, these five can be added onto my yearly total. I am determined to read 150…

Reading, Watching and Listening this Week

Welcome to another week of reading, watching and listening! I've had a lovely balance of these three things this week. I chatted yesterday about my time-blocking scheduling. Because of this, I have been able to decrease the number of days I focus on my masters, now only working towards it on a Tuesday. This has…

Reading, Watching and Listening

I'm always astounded by how little time I have and how much I actually manage to read, watch and listen to over the course of a week! I guess one prioritises. Here is what I've been up to this week... Reading I finished Neuroparenting, which I talked about last week so won't go into it…

Reading, Watching and Listening this Week

Well, I've begun my master's and homeschooling in earnest over the last couple of weeks. This means there is less time for reading, listening and watching! That said, I am doing some, I'm just not sure they would be of any interest to you my lovely readers 💕 A lot of my reading is now…

Reading, Watching and Listening This Weekend

I'm off to London today with Lillie to go to her uni's fresher's fair. I can't say I'm totally looking forward to it, especially as it includes a trip on the underground which I hate. However, she is a little nervous about going back to uni after her experience with bullying at her last uni…

Reading, Watching and Listening Over the Weekend

It's a super quick post today as we've spent the day playing lots of team games for Abigail's second birthday party. This is the first chance I've had to write, so I'll not be saying too much 😀 Reading I'm still plugging my way through Critical Practice with Children and Young People (my master's text…

Reading, Watching, Listening for the Weekend

Reading This week has been a week of flicking through books for inspiration for my next painting. I had decided to do another miniature world to create a second card to go along with my mouse card: I have a goal to try to create packs of six greetings cards. I want a safari pack,…

Reading, Listening and Watching this Weekend

Reading I'm still very slowly reading through the essential reading for my master’s degree, Critical Practice with Children and Young People. I intend to complete this over the next month. I make notes so it's slow progress 🙂 I love to look at the art of children's books. I think my style of art is quite…

Reading, Watching and Listening this Weekend

Reading This week I have been reading my daughter's book Icarus Falls and my essential reading for my master's degree, Critical Practice with Children and Young People. I've read half of Icarus Falls already but then my copy suddenly disappeared! I've just got it back, so I've been finishing it up. The text book is…

Reading, Watching and Listening This Weekend

Reading This week I finished Treasuring Christ When Your Hands Are Full by Gloria Furman. This was surprisingly good mainly because it was unexpected. I thought I knew what the book was going to be about...and to some extent I was spot on, but occasionally Furman said something which was not anticipated and brought big…

Reading, Watching and Listening for the Weekend

Reading I finished such a good book this week. So good, I could not put it down. I took it with me everywhere I went just in case I could squeeze in a couple of minutes of reading. The book? Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus. From the back of the book (because I couldn't…

Reading, Watching and Listening this Weekend

Listening I've been listening to an amazing podcast called Agatha Christie and the Dandelion Poisoner, free on Audibles. American journalist, Jo Nocera, travels to the UK to find out the answer to one of the most interesting cases of poisoning involving Herbert Armstrong, a solicitor from Hay-on-Wye in Wales. Armstrong was hanged in 1922 for…

Reading, Listening and Watching for the Weekend

I have to admit that ploughing through The Woman in White by Wilkie Collins, which I'm listening to on Audibles, has taken up a large proportion of my reading/listening time this week. I can not put it down! It was over 24 hours listening time in length. Because it has multiple narrators, I have to…

Reading, Watching and Listening for the Weekend

Welcome to my new weekly list of things I have been reading, watching and listening to over the past week. If you have any recommendations please do link to them in the comments and share with everyone else. I’d love some new places to explore! Without further ado… Reading This week I finished Yellow Face…
