Continuing on my Matthew Reilly read-a-thon, I borrowed a copy of Area 7 to read. Despite the size of the book, I read most of it on the 2 1/2 hour flight down to Adelaide. Just like his previous books, it is incredibly fast paced, often jumping from one story arc to another every paragraph… […]
Needless to say, the language in this video is NSFW (depending on your workplace) A parody of Marie Kondo’s, Life Changing magic of tidying up… but a great book in it’s own right. Sarah Knight writes about how we only have a limited number of “fucks” to give, and yet most of us spend them
Continuing with my Matthew Reilly read-a-thon, I read Ice Station, the first book in the Scarecrow series. To be honest, I am still very glad that I read Contest first. Military or War themed books are really not normally my thing (nor are movies, they give me nightmares). But having read Contest first, and enjoying
This was the first Matthew Reilly book that I have had a chance to read, and I must say that I loved it. I am glad that I started with Contest, rather than his Scarecrow series. I loved the fast paced style of Contest, and the Sci-fi/Fantasy feel to it. It introduced me to his

If you haven’t heard the story of Thank You, then I strongly recommend you go and look for it. Thank you, which started as Thank you water, is a social enterprise which takes all the profits from sales of its products, to support projects such as providing access to clean water in 3rd World Countries.
As you can see, I’ve been on a bit of a “rom-com” bender recently. Having spent the first part of the year reading all non-fiction, it was a nice break to read books that were lighter, more fun, and just easier to read without putting to much thought into it. The Trouble with Marriage was
For book 37, I read Left Overs, the brutal story of how live treats you if you are a single woman in your mid thirties. This easy to read rom-com, follows the love life, of a lady who feels like the world around her now considers her to be “left overs”
I almost feel like the title of this book tells you everything you need to know. Think, ultimate online trolling, in book form. Enough said really.
