Reading list for April to September. Seventeen books read in six months reflects a massive reading slump brought about by a number of factors, the most notable being that I’ve been finding the physical act of reading to be quite tiring. Blue skies are ahead next year. I just need to be patient.

Book reading list.

No, you can’t make the bed because I haven’t finished with it.

The UK and US covers for the debut novel from Belle and Sebastian lead singer, Stuart Murdoch, didn’t stray too far from the nest. Did they include ‘A Novel’ on the cover just in case fans thought it was special edition cd box set? @causticcovercritic.bsky.social

Cover of Nobody’s Empire by Stuart Murdoch. The single colour toned b+w looks like early Belle and Sebastian album covers.

For a long time I wished that Twitter would change the Like button to something else. Now I feel the same here because there are times when I want to acknowledge a post, to say that I’ve read and felt the pain of it. To just tick Like is so woefully inadequate.

PSA announcement for Southern Australia. Snakes are coming out of hibernation. After shivering through the coldest September day in over two decades yesterday I certainly didn’t expect to find a Tiger snake across a track today. If not for a quick shout from a mate behind me, l may stepped on it.
