Another month has been and gone, and time to report on my readings for the month. It felt like I read a lot this month, but it seems I only managed 13 books. Perhaps because there were a few long ones in there. My favourite this month was revisiting A Monster Calls, even though it made me cry. Now it’s time to see the film adaptation.

Have a great August – the last month of winter here in my part of the world.
The Clever Guts Diet is an eye opening read. Did you have the opportunity to see Dr Mosley when he was in Perth?
No i didn’t, Deb, but agree the book is really eye-opening. I have seen him on television before, and love that this is based on lots of research, as well as on his willingness to try stuff himself.
