Sunday Reading Wrapup
What are you currently reading? M.T. Clanchy – From Memory to Written Record: England 1066-1307 47% read. I’ve said this before – this book was written to be written, not to be read. It’s utterly fascinating but it’s a serious slog DK Publishing – SuperSimple Chemistry 18% read. I picked …

You know what’s really funny? I’ve been meaning to write a post for about a week or so where I say ‘I’m not dead, just distracted’ because…. well because after submitting my essay on the Sanctuary Of Zeus, I fell down the rabbithole of playing Stardew Valley and barely picked …
Benedict Cumberbatch, Fictional Mothers & WWW Wednesday
