I just read Australia: A Biography of a Nation, by Phillip Knightley and it was great! It turns out there's a lot I didn't know about Australia and this book was a very interesting and readable way of discovering it all. #book #nonfiction #australia #australiaabiographyofanation #phillipknightley

I watched Godzilla Raids Again last night and it was great! Not quite as good as the original, maybe, but that's one of my favourite films, so that's hardly a slight on it. See my full thoughts on my blog! jacobsjapaneseblog.wordpress.com/2026/02/11/g... #godzilla #godzillaraidsagain #film #movie

I recently finished Murder on the Marine Express by @1564studio.bsky.social on the Switch and I really liked it! It's a little short, but it's a great mystery with a great cast.

I just read The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya by Nagaru Tanigawa and it's great! More focus on the characters and a little less on humour than the previous books. See my full thoughts on my blog! jacobsjapaneseblog.wordpress.com/2026/01/12/t... #haruhisuzumiya #lightnovel #book #NagaruTanigawa

I recently read volume 7 of the Splatoon manga by Sankichi Hinodeya and, like all the previous volumes, it's a funny read. It's still silly, but slightly more serious this time as it adapts Octo Expansion, but that only made it more memorable to me. #splatoon #manga #book #sankichihinodeya #nintendo
