pickThis was a fun book if you're a fan of the show. Porter worked for “New Top Gear“ as the script editor during all the seasons that Clarkson, May, and Hammond were the presenters. The book is roughly linear but divided into very short chapters that each kind of read like their own little essay, so at times it felt a little abrupt, but also meant that it was easy to delve in and out of. As you'd expect, the writing is a bit snarky and entertaining⬇
Can we do #TuesdayTunes on a Thursday night?? This just came up on a Spotify-curated playlist, and I could smell that school bus seat vinyl and that particular teenage muskiness. Man…took me straight back to high school. Hadn‘t heard the song in years!

panAs a fan of the show I wanted to know more about the creators and the folks behind the series. A red flag was the early chapter dedicated to the history of Monty Python. Why am I reading this? The book was mostly a regurgitation of facts about places, characters and events from the show. Having seen most episodes, I already knew all this. The final straw was the chapter listing bios of every celebrity ever featured on the show. I just gave up.

I inherited some of these books #InspiredByTVorFilm from my older sister (still dating myself) & I remember thinking they were pretty groovy! 😉☮️🌻🧡

So, this is part 1 of 2 of the #TwinPeaksReadingChallenge prompt list.

To add a bit more spice/variation, I put all the prompts in a jar and will randomly draw one of them on the 24th of every month which I will *try* to prioritise.

This month's prompt is: 8 - The Double R: Book title has 2 'R's exactly.
I'm excited about this as that one offers me a few book choices I'm actually looking forward to read!😅

This is part 2 of 2 of the #TwinPeaksReadingChallenge prompt list.

It's a very laid back, low-pressure reading challenge I thought of to get a few books off my shelves read I might never read otherwise.
Play this as it works for you. Create a TBR for the prompts, combine it with other reading challenges, or simply tick off a prompt when you happen to read a book/novella/manga/graphic novel/children's book etc. that fits the prompt for you.
This was my #BookSpin for April 🎉
