A fairly solid month in books in the end. I’m sort of surprised it turned out so well because there were a lot of theatre trips in there – five musicals and a concert. And we’re deep into the autumn new release season so it’s a surprise to me that I didn’t buy more in the end. Roll on October.
Bonus picture: the final curtain of the special 20th anniversary performance of Avenue Q – with many of the original cast and the current revival one. A lovely night in the theatre.
