THIS MONTH’S MEDIA: May 2023

What I watched, listened to, read, & played in May 2023!

I was very busy in May & didn’t really consume a lot of media! My headphones were broken for a lot of the month so I didn’t listen to as many podcasts while working, & my brain was pretty tired each night when I’d go to bed so I didn’t watch a lot of shows or films, & while I started watching several, I lacked the concentration to complete many this month. My mental health wasn’t the best this month, but I really enjoyed the “Cat’s Cafe” book & it helped cheer me up (I’m feeling better now, writing this in June btw!)
