I just finished Before The Coffee Gets Cold and I love how time travel is approached there! It’s such a different take from all the super complex wormholes seen in sci-go given the rule that you cannot - no matter what - change the present. I also love the message that it passes on, to cherish what we have now and understand the delicate circumstances that led to it.
Beautiful little book
A Little Life always gets people divided… either you absolutely love it or hate it. It’s just such a long one that I’m not sure it’s worth the risk.
Why didn’t you like it?
Easily These Violent Delights - I was influenced by BookTube to get it.
I found the story so dumb and predictable, with some elements added apparently “just because”. I didn’t like the plot, found the characters insufferable, didn’t root for the couple AT ALL (in fact I think they’re much better off apart), and overall just felt like it was a waste of time
Something I started doing a while ago and has done wonders for me is to read in most moments when I’d use my phone - ie when I’m eating, in the bathroom, doing simple chores that use only one hand, or even walking lol Since I have very little time - full time working + uni - I just put my reading in every single empty time slot I have. And in a day that amounts to 1-2h even. Plus it gets me off my phone, which is great.
