+ International Giveaway
This month’s reading stats have been kept afloat by audiobooks, although I did a big batch of quickie reviews so there are plenty of books to choose from in the giveaway. Stardew Valley added co-op to the game recently so I’ve spent a few too many hours playing that (and sending Josh down the mines).
Here’s what made it onto the blog…
Book of the Month:
Record of a Spaceborn Few by Becky Chambers

What I Have Watched
I’ve mostly been re-watching Community but did see Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri, which reminded me of Fargo. I honestly can’t remember if I watched any other films, it’s all been a blur.
