August reading list - (it’s back!)

As August kicks off I’m bringing back my monthly reading list post, and given the heavy-hearted content of this space recently, I would like to lighten the tone with the exciting delivery waiting on my desk today:
Zoe Foster’s new book Amazing Face (which I purchased from Australian online book retailer Booktopia).
It promises to teach ignorant me the tips and tricks one should know about make up. No, I didn’t ever think I’d buy a book like this either, much less blog about it, but somedays I am incredibly grateful for that smidgen of help available to us (mostly ladies) ‘the day after the night before’.
Just to keep things balanced, I’m also reading Pedagogy of the Oppressed by Paulo Freire. Yes, it’s as much fun as it sounds, but I’m glad I’m reading it.
