Fun for readers

Goodreads has pretty much revolutionized my reading life. I use it to review books and check out reviews, but more than anything it's a place where I am able to engage the comic book community. Most of my read and reviewed books are single issue comic books. There are very few places for readers to review those in such a large setting so I enjoy it.
For the most part they even have all the titles there, even if I'm the first one to interact with it. There has only been two times when they have not had the book I had read uploaded.
I enjoy the social media aspect of it too. A number of my friends are on it and it starts up lots of conversation and helps us recommend books to each other. It's also very friendly and easy to use.

It's Facebook

Who doesn't have Facebook? It's ingrained in our culture these days. Everybody has it and it's the easiest way to stay connected to everybody. The concept, in the beginning, was great. It really was a great way to stay connected to all your friends in family, all in one place. I think over the years it has just grown into something else. There's too much click-bate, there's oversharing, there are so many ways to get sucked in that have nothing to do with staying connected to people. I wish there was a fresh new site that could be the new Facebook, the next big social media site, but everybody is already on Facebook, and a lot of my other sites (this one included) are connected to my Facebook to make logging in easier.

Thank God I'm not the only one!

Just like with here first book, Sarah has done another great job being refreshingly honest about the realities as life as a mum.
She knows not all mum's experience parenthood like she does, but for those of us who have found it more of a challenge than we anticipated, it is so nice to have others say the same.
This one has the odd sniping from her social media feeds, a bit by the man behind the mum, and even a chapter from one of the boys perspective.
My main issue with is my only reading time is when (if) my baby naps, so I need to sit quietly, and this book has made me laugh out loud and nearly woken him up on several occasions. I mean, it's like she did not take that into consideration 😂.
What the hell do I read now?!?!

Nothing but the truth

After having read Matt Haig's previous book Reasons to Stay Alive, this was a future recommendation to try and considering the current climate in the world right now, it seemed like a wise choice!

This is definitely very relevant to today's society and it really is fascinating. Nothing Haig says in this is particularly surprising - it's all really just plain and simple common sense - and this is my sole criticism. However it's well written, engaging and full of interesting and intriguing facts. It really is the truth about modern society and it's all rather scary. And worst of all its depressing how true this is. This is a wonderfully straight and open commentary on modern life and it's refreshing to read something so brutally honest.

This has definitely made me think again about all of my social media usage and reading news apps. It really isnt helpful for your mental health!
