Current read.
As much as I'm moving into a very different industry since graduation, I always find myself reading books on how to be a better creative. Turns out that advice for creatives is just general good advice for any industry.
I love that this takes a realistic approach to answering the big questions that we have post-graduation. It's funny and it's very clear. Easy read. 5/5.

This is exactly why I'm pushing myself to read as much as I can this year. It's giving me an outlet where I can be active and still rest. Keeping up an activity that brings me constant joy has been terribly difficult but reading has helped get out of that lazy/ mopey feeling. I truly hope that others can find a hobby that will bring them joy the way reading has done for me.
I been so depressed not even in the terribly sad and emotional sense but more in the lazy and mopey sense where nothing is fun or interesting and I am so tired I can't force myself to do anything :-|
Guys, no!!!!!! It's a prequel!!!!!! 😭😭😭😭😭 My heart!!!!!!
Currently reading Queens of Moirai and I've got to say that I wasn't super into it at first but it's starting to grow on me. Not the best book I've read this year but it's still pretty good.
Okay. I just finished reading Queens of Moirai and ... OMG! The cliffhanger!!!!! I immediately bought the second book!

I usually have a good bowl of cornmeal and some cheese toasties with coffee.
If I ask nicely will people reblog this and tell me what their most common breakfast is? Not your favorite necessarily, just what you have for breakfast most frequently? 🙏🏽

From Here to Eternity by Caitlin Doughty is an amazing book and I will always recommend it!

That Amazon wishlist just keeps growing and my bank account can't keep up. 😭
I hate being stressed because of all the books I want to read.
The Hole Review
The Hole discribes the story of Oghi, a man that suffers a car accident, loses his wife and ends up in the care of his mother-in-law. Throughout the story we get to see Oghi reflect on his past and present circumstances as he faces the difficulties of recovery. What starts out as a sympathetic character, slowly unravels into flaws and mistakes that make you wonder if his suffering is well deserved.
We are simotaniasly shown how his mother-in-law slowly and siglehandedly unravels his life and health. The question in the story being, how and why? As she digs up her daughter's garden you can see that she is slowly losing her mind and plotting, but you never have a firm grasp on why she's doing it. From neglect to humiliation she throrougly makes Oghi's life a living hell.
The book tackles a lot of interesting topics such as death, ableism, classism and infidelity. You can say Oghi was a man with qestionable morals as you go along with the story.
He starts of as a doting husband with a loving wife. Speaking of his deceased wife as if she was a dreamer and idealist that balanced his life of blandness. Then turns into a bitter husband succumbing to his spoiled and privilaged wife. Explaining how she couldn't hold on to anything for too long before giving it up and turning to something else completely while neglecting him. And ending as an unfaithful man who is only sorry that he was caught.
I found that what made this book so interesting is the fact that this can happen to and be anyone's life. Sometimes you just need time to realize how unhappy and miserable you really are underneath the rose colored glasses.
As a reader, the book starts off a bit slow and boring, but as it progresses I found myself wondering what would happen next. Oghi is a wonderfully complex character that shows how small things can seem until it's too late.
