Took me over a year to get past the start of this book, but once I did I really enjoyed it. I listened to the audiobook alongside reading it and I was impressed by its range of topics. 'Stolen Focus' tells the story of the author's interest in attention span and focus and his tech-free life for a while. He then goes on to interview many scientists and researchers about various causes for increased attention deficiency in modern society. I particularly enjoyed his sections about sleep and free play for children. I also was surprised to hear about how some people have exaggerated role of genetics regarding ADHD with twin studies.

Delicious book. Thimble has my entire heart.

A must-read if you have any interest in translation. Definitely an introductory book on translation theory, but it covers a wide scope in an accessible way. I enjoyed the examples laid out in this book to help illustrate Bellos' points. I am sure I'll reread this at some point.

This book is packed with wonderful lore about Middle Earth. I would definitely recommend reading this after you've fully read and understoood both The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, as this kicks the information thrown at you up to a whole new level. Andy Serkis narrating this book really helped with my comprehension, but I still feel that this book needs to be read multiple times before I can fully grasp and understad everything.
