What have you been reading this week?

What a week it’s been. The weather has cooled off but that hasn’t encouraged me to read more. I also haven’t felt much like posting to Instagram. I’m just getting a bit weary of it all. I regularly see people on their telling everyone to stop moaning about reels because it’s the only way to grow your account and get more business. I understand that but not everyone on social media is trying to get a bigger following or sell things. What about the people who just want to connect with like-minded people? This is just more proof that Instagram is more about profit and marketing than anything else.

Netflix aren’t known for producing great quality action movies. Most of the time they spend a lot of money on something that just feels messy and loud.

• BOOK REVIEW – The Flatshare by Beth O’Leary

This isn’t my normal kind of book but it’s one of those books that’s been everywhere. When I found a copy at my local charity bookshop, I knew I had to get it. But would I be able to get through it? Check out my review to see how I found it.

This was meant to be our book club pick for Pride but we ended up having to push the meeting back a bit. I was really looking forward to reading this because it sounded so much fun. It’s also an important piece of LGBTQ+ literature. Read my review to see if it lived up.
