      I am going to give The Wedding People a second chance based on your review! I feel like I might have dismissed it early on thinking the bride was a bridezilla type 😢

    Not book related, but earlier this year you had to re-pierce your ear and honestly your practicality helped me when I had to do the same last month. Just order the right earring, just push it through (within reason), and done, issue solved!

    I’m the one who recommended Fiber Fueled to you. I’m so glad you read it! I’m also not plant-based, but even though Dr. B. is, I don’t feel like he pushes the elimination of animal products so much as much as he encourages the addition of more plants in one’s diet. I followed his advice after reading his book, listening to him frequently on The Exam Room Podcast, and following his social media, and my microbiome has really changed. Things work so much better now. 😳 Additionally, if I sort of fall off and don’t eat many plants for a few days, I can really see and feel a difference, and I know how to fix it! Just the concept of plant points has really changed my life for the better, and I love how science-backed Dr. B. is. He can always cite the studies, and if there’s not one, he’ll always say, “I don’t know of any studies looking at this….” Plus, his personality is a gem. Love him.

    Cursed Cocktail by S.L Rowland is my last minute favourite. 😂😂 The coziness was perfect for the rainy days here. Its basically Legends & Latte but make its protagonist men.

    that's interesting because I also listened to atomic habits as an audio book or better I DNFed the audio book. I don't know which version it was though. I hated it, but for me it wasn't as much the voice, but first of all, that the book at several instances referred to me to the webblog or homepage of the author. "If you want to read more about this go to my homepage". Like no! I want the information here and not just tidbits to make me go research on your homepage (also don't read links to me, what am I supposed to do? memorize them?) Also he spend soooo much time retelling his sobby backstory with an injury and I felt like he was trauma dumping me in the intro to then go, but even though I had to live through these hardships, I prevailed. It felt braggy. So much to say, I felt that it's interesting that you also didn't like the audiobook and I was wondering if I might have liked it more if I read it as a physical book, since I could have flown over the intro and ignored the links.

    I loved What Feasts At Night, but to me it was about PTSD. The main character is a sworn soldier who has not had the mental space to deal with the trauma of their war service. That's what struck me about this story.

    Mark Twain is someone I wish more people read. He was an Abolishenist and classical satirist. He gets a bad rep because high school English teachers just taught rote vocabulary and not critical thinking and the bepths of his books.

    December wasn't great for me. I finished 5 books, two of them 4 stars and three of them 3 stars. I also had plans to read a lot more over the holidays than I ended up doing, which is too bad.
