Overall I liked this book, it was short but took me a little while to read. This was a story about an imaginary world.. written all the way back to the 1940s? .. About a dystopian future where fire fighters get reconfigured into book destroyers (houses are all fireproof now and accidental fires are obsolete,…

Book Review – Crying In H Mart – Michelle Zauner
I may or may not start rating books. 7/10. A deep dive into the life of asian-american (though born in korea) Michelle Zauner, we get a close look at what life is like when there is a significant generational / cultural gap, and the identity crisis that comes with it. As one myself, reading her…
Book Review – Man’s Search for Meaning – Viktor Frankl
took place as a bio account of man who went through WW2 internment camps. bounced around and talked about the horrors, mentality, and emotions throughout the entire time. Part of what kept him going was his book and work on logotherapy? i think it’s called. Overall, an insightful read and interesting segue from a biography…

I forgot what it was like Sometimes I regret the decision I made a few months ago because I’ve rarely been as happy as I was since – so let me just recall that happiness for a second, even if it is but a memory at least now I can book it. The feeling I…
Book Review – Men Explain Things to Me – Rebecca Solnit
So I wasn’t able to finish reading this book, and without external motivation I’m likely not to. I don’t think anything mentioned in this read was wrong, but it just felt overrall a tad boring of a read. There was a lot of analysis on other authors and feminists and advocates, and addition of her…
Book Review – We Should All Be Feminists – Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
I enjoyed reading this book. Chimamanda in this short story was very comical while maintaining serious enough tones to get thoughts and ideas across. As a Happy African Feminist Who does Not Hate Men and Who Likes to Wear Lip gloss and High Heels for Herself and Not For Men, she presents the idea that…
Journal – April 5, 2023 – Burning out?
Guess I’m starting to feel burnt out for some reason. What am I upset about? Let’s inspect some of the aspects about my life.. work career, love life, social life, and family and other personal stuff. Work life – I need to figure out what I’m doing, whether I want to continue in this path…
Progress .. maybe
