m durrant @matthewdurrant.com · 29/09/2026Finished reading Michelle Zauner’s memoir Crying in H-Mart (2021). A fairly brutal telling of what it is like to rapidly lose a parent, and a very on-the-nose holiday read for a trip where we scattered my mother-in-law’s ashes. A thumbs up, if you’re in the emotional headspace. 001

m durrant @matthewdurrant.com · 08/08/2026some incredible landlording in this. due to the market dropping out, we’re in the middle of first-time buying a flat we wouldn’t have been able to afford 5 years ago. you know what we’re gonna do if the value keeps falling on it? LIVE IN IT. 040

m durrant @matthewdurrant.com · 23/07/2026Read Naoise Dolan’s loathed-in-the-goodread-reviews Exciting Times (2020). Enjoyable vibe, even if everyone in there is on the manic pixie dream spectrum. Would probably suffer heavily on a re-read but I liked my time with it and gave it 4 stars by the looks of it, so here’s a thumbs up. 010
m durrant @matthewdurrant.com · 23/07/2026Read Belle Burden’s bestselling Strangers (2026). There’s something beautiful about a millionaire heiress (or whatever) writing a shaggy dog story her own divorce, entirely blind to her own privilege throughout. A (very readable, if for the wrong reasons) thumbs down 👎 010
