i unsurprisingly really enjoyed this. kinda sex and the city but for women in their 30s and their complicated differenting views on kids, and also a fire
8/10

My sourdough didn’t rise during bake at all ☹️ Sad.

This is exactly how I felt. What a book.

everyone’s lives - and it spills into every day behaviour and language, ie safe space, policing of language, the subsequent reaction to policing of language. Like… that’s the UK? Big Brother is an experiment putting different people together. It’s not the 00s. The UK is political. Come on.

So much commentary on Big Brother having housemates with different strong political views, on both sides, right, and George aside as honestly he was more of a troll, I also think it’s just a fairly accurate description of a lot of the UK today? People have strong political views. It’s a big part of

Right?!

Assume this is the Housemaid? There’s 3, the first was good but the rest was like, just there for the sake of it.

She’s released FIVE books this year?!

I genuinely don’t understand how all Freida McFadden’s books have such high ratings on Goodreads haha. For me, it’s the classic quantity over quality but why do so many people rate her stuff so highly? Baffled.

Caroline… yikes. #bbuk

I was hoping George would be a fun villain but he’s just eye-rollingly annoying. #bbuk

With Emily out of the house, I’m quite happy with the cast. The new 4 housemates were NEEDED. All great additions. I know people will complain about George but he’s needed. He’s the housemate Emily got cast to be - except without the paid right wing political influence background behind him. #bbuk

12 housemates with like one over the age of 30… of which one will be evicted… on launch night? 🤔 #bbuk

It’s #bbuk time!!

the sentinelese by charles rivers
ok so I didn’t realise this was only like 60 pages. nothing I didn’t already know but I guess most people don’t know anything about them so what is there to add.
3/10.

Called the greatest cyclist since Eddy Merckx a "nice extra challenger" said it hopefully won't be close then overtook him on his birthday from 2.5 minutes behind.
Might be the craziest case of talking your shit and backing it up ever

the woman in cabin 10 by ruth ware
didn’t realise there was a netflix film coming out soon so that’ll be fun. bit too similar to the woman on the train though.

I know. It was obviously sarcastic 🫡

Good to see Lando Norris reeeeeally capitalise on Piastri being out of quali. Champion 💪💪💪

I manage three complete lessons on Duolingo today before running out of “energy”. Answered one single question wrong and ran out of energy before the end of my fourth lesson. This is about to be an absolutely pants app for free users.
