hello and welcome back to my channel so i'm going to talk about the books that i read or listened
to in june 2022 no may 2022. so first of all i started with atomic habits i've literally seen
this book everywhere and i was speaking someone on the train and they read it and it was really
good so i was quite like i was expecting quite a lot and i was not disappointed but i just
don't think it was like the best book i've ever listened to so i listened to it as an audio book
atomic habits it's a self-explanatory title it's basically about how the tiniest habits you
can develop make the biggest difference in your life i listened to it as an audio book so i was
listening to it as i was like sorting things out and stuff so i was trying to get in that
mindset of doing little things to improve my life there's birds trapping in the background which
as much as i love because it means it's summery it's probably going to come up on the mic
i think that i probably would have liked it to be a physical copy instead of an audio book because
yeah so i think if with a physical copy i could have tapped things i could have highlighted things
whereas with an audio book it's really easy to let a sentence like be spoken and then you easily
forget what's what's been said however saying that i did write down some of the key takeaways
i took from the book so they are small changes every day will make the biggest impact focus on
your systems rather than your goals so how you're actually going to achieve it rather than what you
want to achieve and you can try to be one percent better every day and that'll make a difference you
can change your identity so becoming the person you want to be by doing the things that your ideal
ideal self would do you can make cues more obvious by having things in sight to remind you of what
to do finally you should decrease the friction between you and the new habit i did also really
like the real life examples that were woven in throughout the book and made it kind of like feel
a lot more real and a lot more achievable so it was a good book like i'd recommend it if you're
looking for that kind of like lifestyle self-help kind of book but i just wasn't massively like
overwhelmed by it the next book that i read was this beauty which is when women were dragons by
kelly barnhill this is a workbook so it's hockey books and even though i have got a physical copy
here i listen to this as an audio book as well and i did i think i prefer listening to it as an
audio book it gave it a lot more like tension and um suspense and i feel like it's a fairly chunky
book so i feel like i would have struggled because i prefer reading shorter books in physical form so
you may well have seen this book everywhere it's not usually my kind of cup of tea so it's set in
1950s and it's kind of like a fantasy book where self-explanatory women turn into dragons there's
this mass dragoning in 1955 and women turn into dragons when they get angry i love the
idea behind it and i think that you should go into it thinking it's more of a feminist focused book
i suppose like a fantasy book i've seen like mixed reviews on it but i really loved it i gave it like
five out of five i genuinely really enjoyed it a lot more than i thought i was going to
this is when i hate living in new trends
i thought it was chilling i thought it was dark and it was dramatic the format of the
story is mainly a diary entry from a character called alex and what happens around her and what
happens when her auntie and her mum turn into dragons but there's also this kind of like uh
scientific report side of it as well which i think gives it a lot more depth a lot more interest
and yeah really enjoyed it the next book that i listened to against audiobooks this month uh was
family of lives by e lockhart so admittedly i read we were liars and it wasn't that fast i didn't
really enjoy it basically i feel bad for that because technically it's like one of my books from
work but i think having said that i really liked family of life so if you're someone that didn't
enjoy weaver lights like me give it a go give family flyers a go because i much preferred it
and i think i'm not alone as well i think a lot of people said the same thing so family
of life is the prequel to we realize but there's a spoiler on literally the first sentence on the
first page of family advice you have to have read we were liars first you could technically read it
as a standalone but i think it helps with a lot of understanding if you read we realize first
plus they're both quite short books as well so i don't think it would take too long to read
them both so expect like a thrillery summary read set in a private island called beachwood island i
really liked helping the market on this campaign as well this amazing proof package that i did a
separate video on and so yeah that was family flies the next book i read um it took me all of
three minutes probably it's i want the moon this is a book that i'm semi-working on as well it's a
picture book and it's all about kind of like greed and selfishness and it's really cute basically
um i read a couple more pitch books this month as well for work and i can't remember what they
are i can't remember if it was this month it was last month whatever the last book i read of may
2022 was the great chocolate choco plots by chris calligan callaghan um who ate all the chocolate i
was kindly said this by chief house books i'm a master chopper hollow i lick chocoholic i'm
a massive chocoholic i literally eat chocolate all the time every day and the lovely live at
chicken house was like sent me this it was like your lot of chocolate hasn't gone unnoticed
and yeah i loved it how can you not love a book that's literally all about chocolate and
it's about a choc apocalypse where basically all the chocolate is due to run out because of
what's happening with coco in the world yeah it's kind of like this mystery what happened
it's about the school girl trying to find out what happened is her science project at school
and yeah so they're all the books that i read or listened to in may 2022 i'd love
to know if you have read any of these or what you're reading at the moment
let me know in the comment section down below and hopefully see you next time bye
