Reading books from around the world.

Riding bikes. Walking dogs. Watching sport. Lifting weights. Growing food. Sketching stuff.
Pinned
I'm on a slow and steady mission to read a book from every country in the world.

Here's the mega thread 2.0 where I'll post each new book as I read them.

Happy adventures bookworms!

62. The Rose Field by Philip Pullman

Reading this was a delight.

Super nostalgic to go back into a world I fell in love with as a kid. Wrapping up such a beloved series must have been an intimidating task, but I think he’s pulled it off.

In devastating news for me, a person who quite enjoys hating Sydney FC, their third kit is:

- inspired by the Botanical Gardens which I adore
- really really ridiculously good looking

An unlikely story by J L Carr, How Steeple Sinderby Wanderers Won the F A Cup. Recommended for #NovellasinNovember, it's more about village politics than football so don't be put off by the title. As usual with J L Carr its a bit sad, a bit happy, a bit funny and a bit wise. A great read.

My hottest #CANvNEW takes:

This Jets kit is mid.

I don’t miss Ryan Campbell dominating the on-field audio track.

(I love this for Heyman but) Jets defence has gotta be better than that.

That’s a decent amount of blood!
😬

Dundas copped a ball to the face and has raced to the sideline to clean up a bloody nose.

She seems OK, and very keen to get back into the action.

Shoutout to whoever is in charge for the broadcast today who just chose to cut straight from a cannon firing after Gomez scored, to Taranto on the ground stretching out a cramp

Having Prakash, Dos Santos and Gomez on the same team feels like some kind of young gun cheat code.
