Last year we went on an 18 day cruise from Honolulu to Sydney and I managed to read 1.5 books from a song of ice and fire. When we got back in mid October I found it difficult to find time to get back into it. For my birthday in September my brother bought me the disaster artist, the book about the making of the, it's so bad it's good movie The Room. I read most of it during my admission at Redcliffe hospital (when I was physically able to hold the book, yes the pain got so bad that my hands weren't able to grip this book, and it's not a big book). I really enjoyed the disaster artist. I'm not entirely sure why it was written, I don't think it answers any questions one might have about the movie, other than to say - yeah that [insert scene, set or prop from the movie] was done intentionally and the rest of the crew did not understand it at the time. By the end of it I was feeling inspired. If Tommy Wiseau could make his movie, and finish it. Why shouldn't I be able to pick up on PhD where I left off in July and complete it? A well timed read.
I had hoped to pick up a song of ice and fire again, but all of our books are packed, so we went to target and I saw a Philippa Gregory book. A few years ago I was obsessed with her books and read as many as I could get my hand on at the time. I'm only a little way into it, but it's the story of Lady Jane and I know history well enough to know that this chapter isn't going to be a long one. I've seen Horrible Histories. It's good to be reading and writing again.
