I am currently on a thirty day social media fast. What I hope to get from this break is more discipline in using social media.

So far what I’ve missed the most about social media is discovering something new to sink my teeth into and sharing some interesting things along the way.

So I’m the spirit of sharing I thought I’d share what I’ve really enjoyed this week.

Article:

The Crane Wife, an interesting tale about finding yourself, wanting more and not shrinking yourself by not asking for more.

Podcast:

The Invisibilia is one of my favourite podcasts and this week I came across an interesting episode about a McDonald’s in France. This appears to have been quite a big deal and I can’t believe that I missed it when it happed. Have a listen, it’s really good.

Reading:

Children of Blood and Bone by Tomi Adeyemi.

– I am about 80% through this book and I am enjoying it but I am really struggling with the characters. I find the main character so impulsive and I just want to step into the book and shake her!

– I am loving the wonder and the magic of the book, the author has created a rather interesting world of make belief.

Big Magic Elizabeth Gilbert.

– I am only about 20 pages into this one, I am not sure how I feel yet, I think there are some gems but I am yet to find any.

Music:

I am enjoying Halsey’s Manic album. A co-worker recommended it to me and I am really enjoying is so far. 3 am is my favourite tune so far.

Those are my favourite for this week – well not the books because I am still on the fence about Big Magic.

Thanks for stopping by.
