What I have read this month...

Here is my third post today and it is what I have read this month... December can be a busy time of year for a lot of people including me. But I always find time to do some reading...


1: My French...

Reading challenges are just one part of my French which I keep doing to learn more and continually improve. I am on my way to 700 days!


2: My chess...

I love learning my chess too as I have enjoyed playing it since being a child. I do alongside French and hope to keep going for as long as I possibly can.


3: Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare.

I was reading through parts of this play to remind myself of a quote and where it was in the play. As you can see I reviewed along with some of the many film versions that there have been.


4: Hotel information.

As I went away this month, I was reading information on some hotels I was staying in. One of the hotels offered a free breakfast although there was no indication what that free breakfast entailed. It turned out quite a lot actually!


5: Recipes.

With Christmas coming, I spent quite a bit of time reading about various Christmassy recipes and varying ways of doing things for Christmas.


6: Book titles, authors book blurbs.

I have been here and there, coming across book shops or charity shops. I read book titles, blurbs and authors to gain a better understanding of a book. This is to decide if I want it of course!


7: Treasure Island (1883) by Robert Louis Stevenson.

This month I started reading this adventure novel which I first read at university. I do not actually remember most of what happened so I decided some time I would read it again. That time is now.


8: Menus, more menus and even more menus.

Going away means I need places to eat. I check menus to see what's what and what I really think I just might want...


9: Facebook and Instagram.

I have been keeping myself updated with stuff I want to be in the know about. From corrupt politicians lying about benefit claimants to good news that is happening in the world, I want to know about it. I do always check stuff when I read it. I never believe something straight away. If I see some news crop up multiple times from various sources that I do trust then yes, I am more likely t believe than a random bit of news from one right wing newspaper for example. Just because some in society are liars or some do not want to hear the truth, I am not going to sit back silently and say nothing.



That is my list of some things I have read this month.  Do check back in January next year to see what I have been reading throughout the month.



Until next time,



Thomas.

Bookshops I have visited - 3: Oxfam Bookshop, Coventry.

Welcome back to my blog everyone. It is that time of the month where I give you the ins and outs to another bookshop that I have recently been to. This time, it is the Oxfam Bookshop in Coventry city centre. When I was on my travels, I found myself in Coventry. Now having lived and studied in the West Midlands, I knew about this bookshop. Funnily enough this was not my first visit here. Just as I remembered, they have a nice range of books and music despite being on the slightly smaller side. I noticed they still had a little collection of Doctor Who stuff! I am a big Doctor Who fan. Anyway, as I went nosing around, there was one book that caught my eye. It was this book: Sculpted: Poetry of the North West  (2013) edited by Lindsey Holland and Angela Topping. There is an introduction by David Morley who I have read before as a poet, teacher and editor. The important thing here though is that I picked up a poetry book and April (in case you were unaware) is National Poetry Month! I ...

Bookshop visit 11: Lions Charity Bookshop, Hailsham.

Hi! Sorry for the delay in the blog post, the internet keeps playing up for me so I could not post yesterday when I planned to. For my blog post I am off on another bookshop visit. This time I found myself in the East Sussex of Hailsham where down Market Street in Hailsham. It is near North Street and High Street which is good for people visiting by bus or catching a train and then a bus to Hailsham as it has no train station itself. When you enter the bookshop it can come across as quite small. Despite this, I see the bookshop as small and mighty. You never know what you are going to get and that is what I like in a bookshop. Normally, it is fiction that I go for though they have some other stuff as well. I will say that if you want something specific then you cannot guarantee to get, though that often goes with a lot of second-hand bookshops. I must point as well that paperback books are priced at £1.20 which to me is a steal! Can you imagine wanting to get some Margaret Atwood books...

Fictional book review: Cat's Eye (1988) by Margaret Atwood.

Image
It's me again... Your favourite book reviewer back with another Margaret Atwood book to review. This time I thought I would tuck into Atwood's 1988 novel Cat's Eye . This novel is gripped with spectral memories of the narrator's past, it is a bildungsroman. A bildungsroman is just a novel that goes through a character's life, from being a child, to growing up as a young person to becoming an adult. Great Expectations  (1861) by Charles Dickens is another example. Anyway, the narrator, Elaine is haunted by Cordelia who I will not give too much about her away. This novel threw me, many times. We had Elaine and her various friends. First we were introduced to Carol, then Grace and finally Cordelia. But it is Cordelia, who's presence is felt throughout the novel. The thing is, I cannot understand why. Without giving too much away, Cordelia was hardly being nice to Elaine and I just expected that as Elaine grew up that she would move on; that she would not have Corde...
