So… I’m not diagnosed with any form of ADHD or ASD, but I do often feel like I’m not neurotypical. If I am then I’m very high-functioning, with enough coping strategies that you probably wouldn’t notice. But I have a pile of books about topics like this ready to go. Jesse J Anderson is what […]
[Contains mild spoilers] I’m not sure how I came across Blake Crouch. Probably recommended by the Kobo algorithm. Or his book was in a sale and sounded cool.

I have a proper day off so I’m catching up with some writing/sharing. I’ve finished a few books recently, which is very unlike me! I have a few Seth Godin ebooks lined up in my wishlist on Kobo. This one got reduced to super-cheap and I bought it and read it pretty quickly. It’s not […]
