I’ve surpassed myself this year. In a reading sense, that is!
At the beginning of the year, I quietly gave myself the challenge of reading a different book each month.
I’ve always been a big reader. However, more recently, I’ve found myself scrolling rather than picking up a book. The intense work schedule I had up until the beginning of this year probably didn’t help. My mind was often fried by the time I climbed into bed. It had become far easier to scroll than to try to get my head into a book.
This year, I’ve found myself getting back into reading, and I’ve loved every minute of it.
Andi Moon
One of my summer reads was by the fabulous Andi Webb. For those who are unfamiliar with Andi’s work, I first stumbled across Andi here on WordPress. He’s one of our very own! I used to love reading Andi’s blog ‘Diary of a Gay Dad’, and his tales of family life would keep me amused for hours.
I loved Andi’s first novel, ‘Eighteen Moons‘. So when I had the opportunity to read ‘Thirteen Moons More’, I couldn’t wait.
Andi has written ‘Thirteen Moons More’ in diary form, with each chapter being about the events of each month in the year leading up to his three youngest children starting school.
Not only is ‘Thirteen Moons More’ a fascinating insight into Andi and his family’s life in the ‘Shires’, but he also includes some fab recipes that I’m looking forward to trying out too.
In ‘Thirteen Moons More’, Andi writes about adventures, tantrums and the occasional trip to casualty. ‘Thirteen Moons More’ is a heartwarming tale of family life with all the highs and lows thrown in for good measure.
I live in hope Andi will one day sell his infamous ‘Dadda’s Jam’ online as his intriguing combinations sound divine!
If you love a simple, easy read about family life, you’ll love Thirteen Moons More. It made me smile, chuckle, and at times, it made me cringe with some of the ‘adventures’ the not so famous five got up to!
