My Problem with Atomic Habits by James Clear
📓 Atomic Habits has a couple of useful ideas but it is a mess of a book, and long-term it has not transformed my life!
The Miniaturist by Jessie Burton
My first audio book DNF! Disappointing after I really loved The Muse. 💀
Book Lovers by Emily Henry
Fun & sexy twist on the City Bitch trope. A healthy relationship with mature communication, in a rom-com?! And its hot! ❤️❤️❤️❤️ 4/5 Hearts
Book of Night by Holly Black
A serviceable fantasy story but a confusing magic system and convoluted plot. ⭐⭐⭐ 3/5 Stars
The Muse by Jessie Burton
Dreamy dual timeline mystery that explores creativity, inspiration and ownership of art. ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4/5
Newsletter #3: Birthdays, Books and Star Trek (Issue 3, May 2023)
The long delayed Newsletter #3 for May 2023 is up on Substack!
Kindred by Octavia E. Butler
Brilliant use of time travel as a literary device to explore the brutality of the antebellum Maryland. A true classic! ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4/5
