At 10% (1 hour) I put this on my "Life's Too Short" list.

Why Mummy Drinks - Gill Sims,Gabrielle Glaister

Humour is a hit or miss thing. This one missed for me by a long way.

The first hour is a (long, long, can she STILL be talking about this?) lament about the state of this middle-class white woman's life.

She's 39 (how terrible is that), is married to a man who no longer excites her (or really sees her), has a part-time job that bores her, has young children that she can neither support nor control and has to face the coven of yummy mummies at the school gate who are mean to her. Faced with this deep angst, she responds with snidey wit, ineffective longing and diving into alcohol each evening.

I can see this could be sad in that special-problems-only-middle-class-people-have sort of way but I don't see it as funny.

Maybe what I hear as the not-grown-up-yet, I-was-meant-to-be-special lament of a middle-aged middle-class woman is really a poignant crie de coeur from a desperate woman, fending off existential panic with humour.

If it is, I don't care.

This is not a woman I want to spend another ten hours listening to.

So, into the Life's Too Short box it goes and I look for another book for the Festus Door.

Summer/Winter of Sherlock

Murder by Death

The Mystery of Cloomber - Arthur Conan Doyle

Conan Doyle: Man Who Created Sherlock Holmes. - Andrew Lycett

Arthur & Sherlock: Conan Doyle and the Creation of Holmes - Michael Sims

Tales of Terror and Mystery - Arthur Conan Doyle

Conan Doyle for the Defence: A Sensational Murder, the Quest for Justice and the World's Greatest Detective Writer - Avishai Margalit

Sherlock: An anthology of stories inspired by the greatest detective of all time - Otto Penzler

Going through my TBR stacks, these are the books I have yet to read that concern either Sherlock Holmes or Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, or written by Doyle, as well as two that are tribute/pastiche (one a stand alone fiction, one an anthologies of short stories).

I am not including those I've already read (i.e. all the Sherlock Holmes stories written by Doyle); not because I'm unwilling to re-read them, just unwilling to list them all.

Not sure what I'll get around to reading the next three months. I'd like to tackle Hesketh Pearson's work, but I've got to be in a biography frame of mind. Hopefully one or two will work for BL-opoly spaces and can do double-duty.

Nothing to add to the commerical

Grimlock ♥ Ultra Magnus

Guardians of the Galaxy: What If?... EcoSport Adventure Presented By Ford - Chad Bowers,Chris Sims,Ramón Bachs

But baby Groot is adorable anyway and you get to see a little Rocket, so one star.

But, yeah, this is the commercial where the woman sees Guardians Volume 2 then daydreams about being part of the movie.

Also, the Collector would NOT pay a fortune for an Ecosport because they're common. And not in the wheelhouse of what he actually collects... So this whole thing didn't make sense anyway.

Only a couple pages, but it was a Guardians freebie.
