Life

Got back to work this week and without any assignments and tests to correct the weekend was not that busy and I had lots of time to read. I took advantage of this in full!

Blog and books


Reader, I finished the book! I finished Jane Eyre and it was fascinating and brilliant. A classic I'm sure I will read again! Also very pleased with myself that I finally read this classic, after years of swearing I would in the beginning of the new year. It shouldn't have taking me so long to read this classic but I thoroughly enjoyed this reading experience. I actually wouldn't mind reading it again right away (an unusual feeling for me). I will settle with watching the film this evening as there are so many other books I want to read too.




Movies and TV Shows



I didn't watch much this week, another episode of the charming show The Detectorists and the film The Good Liar. I wasn't too impressed by the latter even though the cast was phenomenal.


What did you watch or read recently?

As always please leave some recommendations on what I should read or watch next!

Life

Life got a bit in the way of blogging, with correcting exams, Christmas parties and a relaxing holiday at the seaside. Starting work again tomorrow and I will miss the Christmas vibes but am already looking forward to summer at the same time.

Blog and books


I finished Snow Country, The Diary of Anne Frank and Open Water at the end of 2022 and I enjoyed them all. My favourite books of 2022 are The Diary of Anne Frank, One Hundred Years of Solitude, Hamnet, The Island of Missing Trees, Conversations with Friends, Much Ado About Nothing and Of Mice and Men.




This year I finished Small Things Like These, which was a short but interesting read. I would like to read more books about Ireland so all recommendations are welcome! 

I'm currently listening to the audiobook of The Sun Does Shine and I also started Jane Eyre, I'm finally reading it after all these years!



Movies and TV Shows



I watched a couple of films: Knives Out 1 & 2, Bohemian Rhapsody, Rocketman and The Maltese Falcon. The two musical films were my favourites.
I couldn't resist watching a couple of episodes from the following series: The Detectorists, The White Lotus and Conversations with Friends.
