While I didn’t make it a resolution, I still set myself a reading challenge for 2019. The aim is to finish at least 60 books by the end of the year. (Stretch goal is 100 but I’ll settle for 60.) Each month I’ll be sharing what I read and giving a little review. So if you’re looking for your next great read, you just might find it here. Onwards! -> Onwards! ->
The Gentle Art of Swedish Death Cleaning was just released in the States, bringing to breaking point the number of books working off the “The [Adjective] Art/Magic/Secret of [Something Designed to Shock or Intrigue You]”.

Clever title aside (I’ll admit that, though the formula itself has been overdone, kudos must still go to the marketing department for this one), can the contents hold their own?

At the beginning of 2017, I set myself a resolution to read at least 50 books by the end of the year. It wasn’t always easy, but I chipped away at it and am proud to say I achieved my goal.

Fancy a review of “Get Your Shit Together”, Sarah Knight’s new book? Of course you do. The press release describes it as “giddily profane, immensely useful, and surprisingly powerful”. Bang-on, or bullshit? Pull up a pew, friend, and find out how I rated it on a scale of Die Hard 1 (classic) to Die Hard 5 (utterly forgettable and downright unforgivable. You’re better than that, Bruce).It should go without saying but expect swearing.(This post contains Amazon affiliate links which means I may earn a teeny tiny commission if you buy through them.
