I don’t know if you’re aware of this or not, but dragons don’t like to be shooed. In fact being shooed seems to have an irritating effect on them.

July 2017 Wrap Up

I am very happy with my reading this month. I managed to read a whole slew of excellent books which makes me very happy. There’s still a bit of a slumpy feeling that’s been around since Februaryish that I just can’t seem to shake. Its not stopping me from reading but I have found several times instead of reading on my commute, I’ll just listen to music or just stare out the window. Fingers crossed that I shake this eventually. In total, I read 12 books for a total of 3997 pages. I did DNF one book. 

The Princess Diarist by Carrie Fischer

Carrie Fischer was a blessing. And her book is like sitting down with an old friend for a good gossip session. This was a collection of her memories from the filming of Star Wars: A New Hope. I thoroughly recommend getting the audiobook as it is read by Carrie and it is just wonderful to hear her talk. 5/5

Devil of the Highlands series by Lynsay Sands

Devil of the Highlands, book 1 3/5

Taming of the Highland Bride, book 2 3/5

The Hellion and the Highlander, book 3 3/5

A series of Scottish medieval romances. Full of the general tropes you usually find in romances. These were fun and fluffy and full of fun characters. I especially liked the narrator.

Dragons of Winter Night (The Dragonlance Chronicles, book 2 ) by Margret Weiss

The second book in the Dragonlance series picks up in action and political intrigue. The world is expanded and more of the opposing forces structure and plans are revealed. 4/5

Ashes of Honor (October Daye, book 7) by Seanan McGuire

Seanan McGuire’s name has been mentioned a lot on Booktube lately, thanks to her Wayward Childrens series. But I’ve been a fan of her work for ages thanks to Wil Wheaton recommending her Incryptid series. From there I moved onto the October Daye series. I love this series so much that I am actually forcing myself to take my time reading them so I don’t run out. This is the 7th book in the series and it didn’t disappoint. Its a slightly dark series, in the vein of Merry Gentry fantasy (but with a heck of a lot less sex)I just want to dive into book 8, its sitting on my shelf, calling me. Also check out her books under the name Mira Grant if you like zombie books. 4/5 The Handmaids Tale by Margaret Atwood

A dystopian novel where America has become an oppressed society, through the eyes of  woman who has been forced to serve as a walking incubator. This was a brutal read, as a woman. There were several parts where I had to put it down and walk away for a bit. It is very dark but I think for someone interested in current events or feminist literary, this is a must read. My only complaint is the ending. It was very abrupt and left me feeling a bit like the book as unresolved. 4/5

A Closed and Common Orbit (Wayfarers, book 2) by Becky Chmabers

The sequel to A Long Way To A Small Angry Planet. I loved the first book. The world building is just first rate. The characters were fascinating and engaging. I loved it and was very excited to pick up the sequel. While I enjoyed it a lot, I didn’t love it as much as the first book. It takes a step away from the majority of the main characters of the first book, which was disappointing. That’s not to say I’m not recommending this book. I am, very much. I think it has a very important point of discussion that will be very important in the future: the rights of an A.I.It was a brilliant story, I loved the characters and the world building was just as good as the first book. If I gave A Long Way 5/5, then A Closed and Common Orbit is a 4.9/5 and it is solely because I was sad not to return to my fave characters.

Classic BBC Radio Shakespeare: Tragedies: Hamlet, Macbeth, Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare

The BBC radio adaptation of The Bards most famous tragedies. These were brilliant and bought the text to life. And listening to Ian McKellen for a few hours is never a bad thing. 3.5/5

Seven Brief Lessons on Physics by Carlo Rovelli

A brief explanation of the basics of physics written by someone clearly in love with the subject. The author broke it down into seven short subjects which were wonderfully written. I wouldn’t say that this is a book for a novice but someone who already has a basic physics but it was very enjoyable. 4/5

The Wicked + The Divine, Vol. 4: Rising Action by Kieron Gillian

This series just keeps getting better and darker and weirder. 4/5

The Silurian Gift (Doctor Who) by Mike Tucker

A short little adventure with The Doctor (Eleventh). It definitely felt like a classic DW adventure. We meet some classic creatures of DW history 3/5 

A Conjuring of Light (Shades of Magic series, book 3) by V.E Schwab

The final book in an amazing series. I kept putting off reading this as I was slightly worried I would be disappointed or that I wouldn’t be as in love with the world as I was a year ago. I decided to bite the bullet given that I would potentially meeting Victoria Schwab at YALC (didn’t happen thanks to a stomach bug). My fears were completely ridiculous. I loved it! It was a brilliant ending to the series. There were some genuine points where I got emotional and a lot of the plot points were resolved fairly satisfactorily. I do feel there could be more adventures in the world but if this is all we get, I’m pretty happy. 5/5

Bloodshot (Cheshire Red Reports, book 1) by Cherie Priest 

This is a book thats been on my list for a awhile. And while its not a terrible book, it couldn’t quiet grab my attention and I kept procrastinating instead of picking it back up. I may go back at some point but for now its a DNF.

[BOOK REPORT] ‘Fifteen Years, A Branded Content Story: A Collection Of Thought Provoking Essays From Leading Branded Content Experts’

Back in April I posted an essay, Everything is Branded Content; Branded Content is Everything. Today I am excited to announce that it has been published in a new book written by The Branded Content Marketing Association’s  Founder and Chief Executive, Andrew Canter, titled “Fifteen Years, A Branded Content Story” available for purchase at Amazon.

My involvement in The BCMA dates back to 2010. Whilst at Ogilvy and working within their branded entertainment division appropriately dubbed OgilvyEntertainment I was introduced to Andrew Canter BCMA’s founder. After a considerable amount of ‘talking shop’ and vetting of The BCMA’s practices and programming, my employer decided to take on the role of Advisor and become a founding firm within their first US Chapter.

Following my departure from Ogilvy many years back -- Andrew and I remained connected and nearly two years ago I accepted the position of President at the BCMA US Chapter.

As a lover of all things ‘entertainment’ and practitioner of all things ‘advertising’ the marriage of branded-content has been one that I have enjoyed participating in throughout my career.

To mark the BCMA’s landmark fifteen-year anniversary, it has brought together the foremost branded content experts from across the globe with a collection of inspiring, thought-provoking and engaging essays. 

The 60 contributors are leaders from industry and academia and share their incredible stories and insights into how branded content has evolved and come to the forefront of marketing communications and how it will continue to shape the future of advertising industry.
