I read a lot of books, but I also read a lot of other stuff that doesn't require quite so much concentration and/or time. A lot of this is book reviews and blog posts, but it varies. Here is what I have been reading recently:
Fern Riddell's article on History Today - Sanitising the Suffragettes: Why is it so easy to forget an unsavoury aspect of Britain's recent past? You can find Fern on Twitter here.
Speaking of suffragettes, I also liked Mary McGill's article on Constance Markievicz over on The Pool.
I'm also enjoying the LARB's review of 2017 in horror. My husband is really into horror and I've worked out what I do and do not like about the genre, and there is plenty that I love. Get Out was one such film, of course.
I'm keen to see The Alienist, whenever it is available in the UK, and will definitely be reading the book at some point. This article is pretty good.
Another big thing for me recently has been the new episodes of Star Trek: Discovery (so good!!). I've been reading a few things about the new developments, including these on io9 and Vulture (spoiler warning). Personally I still think it's awesome, and still love Tilly and Stamets. And I still find it hilarious that Shazad Latif, who plays Ash Tyler, also played Clem Fandango in Toast. Reading-wise, it's been the Wikipedia page for the series, as well as the Memory Alpha page.
I recently went to see Möngöl Hörde live for the first time (drove to Birmingham and back in one night), and it was awesome. It has got me back into their album, as well as Frank Turner's back catalogue (he's the singer!). I'm also refreshing Ticketmaster to try and get tickets to his upcoming tour... not a reading thing, but just a thing for me at the moment.
I am of course also reading a book at the moment, which is The Amazons: Live and Legends of Warrior Women across the Ancient World by Adrienne Mayor - and I am loving it. I adored Classics at school and currently work on the Classics list at Routledge, so it's a big thing for me. This is the first time in while that I have read a Classics book outside of work, and I love it. It's technically an academic book given that Mayor is a Professor at Stanford, and it's published by Princeton, but it's still accessible and not presented as a textbook. Very pleased with myself for choosing it.
That's me for now.
