The month that was… September 2024

So… how is everyone? I’ve hardly posted at all in the last month, as life just kept getting in the way.

This month has involved quite a bit of travel. My other half and I went to Spain for five days to an area a little north of Madrid. Despite being only 40 minutes’ drive from the capital, it felt as though we were off the beaten track. It was a lovely break, and if the weather wasn’t quite what I’d hoped for, I was able to get a decent glass of wine for less than 3 Euros, and I’ll happily take that trade. Once I got back from Spain, I went out to Sweden for a few days for work. This was a great trip, and it was really nice to meet some of my Swedish colleagues.

With travelling here, there, and everywhere, I did manage to get some reading done, although I’ve not posted a single review this month 😬 I will try to do better in October, but honestly – it’s already looking like a busy month!

I think it’s fair to say that any attempt at constraint has gone out of the window in the last few months and shows no sign of returning any time soon. I regret nothing! 😋

And that’s my bookish month! I hope you had a good one, and that next month is even better! Happy reading! 🥰
