Capital Christie: Agatha Christie’s London Mysteries by Agatha Christie with Judith Boyd (Narrator), Christopher Lee (Narrator), Hugh Fraser (Narrator), David Suchet (Narrator), Juliet Stevenson (Narrator), Ciaran Saward (Narrator)

We are back to listening to the Agatha Christie short story collections. One of the Christopher Lee ones was in a previous collection so I remembered the ending. Whenever I listen to these Christie collection, I notice her repeated plot points. I also notice one of the Poirot stories had a really hard to grasp motive. There was also one a sentimental story “The Lonely God” about two lovers which we found quite nice.

Wordslut: A Feminist Guide to Taking Back the English Language by Amanda Montell with Amanda Montell (Narrator)

Been wanting to try Amanda Montell’s nonfiction for awhile. This one focused on words, language, and feminism. It was interesting. I enjoyed Montell’s style of writing and learning so many random language facts especially when done from an intersectional perspective.

Since I am walking less these days, it means less audiobook time. I listened to the second half of this while doing chores and knitting. I am in a knitting slump so I may need to listen to knit more while listening to audiobooks at home.

The No-Pressure Book Journal by Brea Grant and Mallory O’Meara

Supporting my favourite book podcast. There was less than hundred pages of text content and the rest was journal and prompts. I am going to use this book to track for high five star reads and to track my wheelhouse. I have noticed my reading doorway has veered towards Language a lot more in the last year. As I grow and change through time, so do my reading preferences and this journal will reflect some of those changes for the next couple years at least.

The Art of Spending Money: Simple Choices for a Richer Life by Morgan Housel

DNF after 28 pages. I thought this was a personal finance book but it was more of a self-help finance book. I flipped through it and read some reviews. It seemed to have a lot of common sense tips which would be good for younger people but not for me.
