This weekend I’m listening to Two Stories by Sally Rooney. It’s a very small collection of two short stories from Rooney, Mr Salary and Colour and Light. I plan on listening to this hour long audiobook while doing some collaging in my 2021 Reading Journal.
What are you reading this weekend?
Two Stories by Sally Rooney
Two stories about the uncertainties of attraction, from the acclaimed author of Normal People and Conversations with Friends.
‘Mr Salary’ is Nathan. Sukie moved in with him years ago because her mother was dead and her father was difficult, and she had nowhere else to go. Now they are on the brink of the inevitable.
My love for him felt so total and so annihilating that it was often impossible for me to see him clearly at all.
In ‘Colour and Light’, Aidan and Pauline watch a firework display together. They are almost strangers. But their stumbling connection pains Aidan more than any casual flirtation.
He now feels utterly confused as to why they seem to be arguing, confused to the point of abrupt despair.

Continuing through Chris Gosden’s “Magic: A History” (anthropological look at magic from prehistory to today). I’ll probably start re-reading Steven Brust’s “Teckla” too

That sounds so fascinating!! I think I’ll throw that onto my TBR pile.

It’s very surface level, in some respects, because Gosden’s trying to cover 30,000+ years over the whole world in 432 pages. But, it’s interesting so far.

This weekend I’m listening to a course by The Great Courses (via Audible) about the Borgia History. It’s really fun history to listen to because they were pretty wild.

Very interesting! No Such Thing As A Fish podcast is always promoting The Great Courses but I’ve never checked out their courses.

I love history and learning without having to take tests and writing papers so the courses are perfect for that. But they are pricey on their own. I get mine via Audible where they are cheaper or free if produced by Audible/Amazon.

I read almost nothing this weekend cause for some reason I left myself 3 historical fictions at the same time and my tiny brain is just refusing to co-operate hahaha. They’re all great it’s just not a genre I tend to read a lot of so 3 books at once is a lot!

It is especially if you’re not that into the genre
