Page Count: 150 Rating: 4/5 REVIEW This book was fascinating if not a bit archaic with the language choices for this particular translation I loved the discussion of taking theatre back to being more movement based than language based and having actor and audience on the same level instead. Some of it went completely overContinue reading “The Theatre and its Double by Antonin Artaud”

Ladies of the Grand Tour by Brian Dolan
Page Count: 320 Rating: 5/5 REVIEW This was a book that I bought on a whim but I found it completely fascinating. The travelling women of the Grand Tour and their lives and writings were so fascinating and the author divided time between the different women and topics well, giving a wide scope of allContinue reading “Ladies of the Grand Tour by Brian Dolan”
On Connection by Kae Tempest
Page Count: 144 Rating: 5/5 REVIEW I love this book so much and so many parts have resonated with me and where I am as well as where I have been in my life. How shallow things can feel but how things can get too deep as well. The realisation that I am a stageContinue reading “On Connection by Kae Tempest”
The Physics of Climate Change by Lawrence.M.Krauss
Page Count: 168 Rating: 4/5 REVIEW This was a really interesting book exploring the actual facts and figures around climate change. The author breaks these down so we can pinpoint exactly humanity is the cause of it, what these impacts have done, what will happen if we do nothing, and what can happen if weContinue reading “The Physics of Climate Change by Lawrence.M.Krauss”
Between Britain by Alistair Moffat
Page Count: 306 Rating: 4/5 REVIEW It’s book about a journey based on a shared yet divided history. I liked the fact that the author was not afraid of his own opinion and it was a good insight into a nuanced perspective of Britishness, Englishness, and Scottishness and it was interesting to hear a ScotsmanContinue reading “Between Britain by Alistair Moffat”
How to be Invisible by Kate Bush
Page Count: 192 Rating: 4/5 REVIEW I haven’t listened to much Kate Bush so I didn’t get as much out of this as somebody who knew more of her songs would. However, it was fascinating to see how different her lyrics and the topics she covered in them were compared to other contemporary songwriting. SheContinue reading “How to be Invisible by Kate Bush”
The Future we Choose by Christiana Figueres & Tom Rivett-Carnac
Page Count: 175 Rating: 5/5 REVIEW It is a great show of all of the things that we need to do to solve the climate crisis from an individual level and how that includes working together. It has a motto of what is necessary and though it is scary from a personal perspective to thinkContinue reading “The Future we Choose by Christiana Figueres & Tom Rivett-Carnac”
Positively Green by Sarah LeBrecque
Page Count: 121 Rating: 4/5 REVIEW The book was easy to read and broken up into digestible chunks. It didn’t focus too much on the science but mentioned enough to put things into perspective. The tips were things that you could implement quite easily and it had different options depending on budget and location. ItContinue reading “Positively Green by Sarah LeBrecque”
Meetings with Moths by Katty Baird
Page Count: 241 Rating: 4/5 REVIEW It was enjoyable read of mostly anecdotes about the author’s adventures discovering and identifying moths, allowing for a quirky entry level introduction to the world of mothing and I preferred the lightness but still informative tone about a creature that is often side-lined or even hated but as someoneContinue reading “Meetings with Moths by Katty Baird”
The Year in Space by The Supermassive Podcast
Page Count: 162 Rating: 4/5 REVIEW It went into a decent amount of detail an each topic as it was never meant as a deep dive book, however it was a bit too light for me simply as I’m used to longer science books and so I wish it was a bit longer and inContinue reading “The Year in Space by The Supermassive Podcast”
