Moments that I loved and some parts that I found a bit dull…but overall 3.5 🌟
What would you do differently if you could?
A library of opportunities to change.

CarolynM How are you Sally? Scary times 3y
Freespirit Hi Carolyn I am good. We are busy at work with increasing numbers of Covid patients, and staff shortages due to illness☹️I have avoided it so far but it is probably inevitable that we all get it! Wearing all that PPE is a pain! How are you going? Hope you are well. I partly blame our PM and premier for a lack of leadership!! @CarolynM 3y
CarolynM We are ok, getting our boosters on Tuesday - I've been on tenterhooks since Christmas about picking it up before then. I can't believe how the federal govt seems to be taken by surprise by every predictable consequence of their decisions. Thinking of you and your fellow health care workers💕 3y
Freespirit I agree totally. I feel like we‘ve had 2 years to watch what happened OS and plan for the best way to manage this virus. We could have been so organised!! Stay healthy @CarolynM 3y

It may be the fact that I have read too many books in this sort of category this year but this book did not tickle me as much as I thought it would.
Essentially Mary Roach's observations on her life on this planet.

Our July #AuthorAMonth is Mary Roach. She writes nonfiction with a humorous twist. I hope you all enjoy her!

Don‘t forget to use the hashtag and also tag me if you want me to see your reviews.

Happy Reading!

Light, humorous collection of columns about everyday life. Nothing special, but still good companion for dull chores. #nFnov ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Whenever I‘m making the trip to Tokyo‘s only(?!) used English bookstore, I can‘t resist taking a pic of the walk from the train station and feel like a tourist. Fun day with @tessavi ♥️(Was way too hot tho...) #tokyo #japan #bookhaul #bookswithaview

Eh. Not for me - humor that's about putting yourself down is neither funny nor interesting, as far as I'm concerned. She takes interesting subjects and makes jokes about them, rather than really explaining them. I'll try at least one more of her books (this wasn't my first), but I'm not expecting to love any of hers.
