1. Went to the Marilyn exhibition at the Bendigo Art Gallery this week. The pieces on display were predominantly from Marilyn’s movies. I loved the exhibition but I’ve also always liked the pictures of her reading. She was, by all accounts, a great reader with an impressive collection of books.
2. The new Wheeler Centre schedule is out. I snapped up tickets to Hanya Yanagihara and now considering what else to go to – Paul Kelly*? Jeanette Winterson**? Jonathan Franzen***?
3. Banshee is so far from my usual scene and yet I can’t stop watching. Final season is about to start.
4. These.
5. Because I seemingly have the sense of humour of a 14 year old boy, this. It’s the reference to ‘wang’. It cracks me (and other people I know) up.
6. Deb’s link to Boaty McBoatface makes me love the world.
7. Paperback Paradise is my new favourite Twitter account.
