"This was my first book by this author, and it has left me with a wish to read more of them... I thoroughly enjoyed this book and would recommend it to anyone who likes romances, queer characters and high fantasy."

having got rid of such false ideas as that a child was the property of its mother, in the same sense as a limb to be controlled and used without consulting its inclination and on the childs part, that it need not face reality but run to its mother for comfort in any trouble, the psychological root of quarrelling, pestering, lying and cringing was torn up and thrown on the bonfire of self-apprehension as a sovereign soul.

Finished reading The Master and Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov. Loved it. A much better Faust than Faust. Margarita and Natasha are officially best witch duo.
It's probably just me, but I got a weird association with Chambers' The King in Yellow. Not just Margarita carrying a "yellow sign", but the description of the city of Yershalaim had a very Carcosa vibe to me. Bulgakov *could* have read The King in Yellow, but I'm sure it's just my brain being weird. Right

Trigger Argee was his closest associateshe means to find him. She's brilliant, beautiful, and skilled in every known martial art. She's worth plentydead or aliveto more than one faction in this obscure battle. And she's beginning to have a chilling notion that the long-vanished Masters of the Old Galaxy were wise when they exiled the plasmoids to the most distant and isolated world they knew...."

Been reading How BIg Things Get Done by Bent Flyvbjerg & Dan Gardner. Too overwritten to my taste - too much details, too many examples, and referring back to the same ones too often.
It's like listening to Gyles Brandreth telling the stories of his time whilst he's drunk, you'd have to have the patience of a saint in order to endure anecdotes after anecdotes before he gets to the point. As a case study it's not focused enough, as a reference book it digresses too much.
The findings, however, are useful. It is a book that I wish I had read before I had enough working experience to find it cliche. I still hope he's written it in the style of case studies though - not interested in how his neighbour screws up a renovation project.

I recently finished watching on Disney+ It kinda felt like a wannabe White Lotus (with no humour) mixed with a cheesy Hallmark production. Drawn out, & the ending wasn't really satisfying. The true crime story of which inspired the by which the show is based from is way more interesting.
No. 8 of my list, which I'm dispensing in no particular order, is Fleet Maull's "Radical Responsibility". Such responsibility is the action that follows radical acceptance.
I borrowed this from my neighbour maybe a month ago.
Have I even opened it Of course not. Do I radically accept this Doesn't feel that way. I'm also feeling shitty about the poor quality of my writing in this post. Blergh.
I should work in sales.

For adaptations to climate change, there's Manuel de Transition by R. Hopkins, L'ge des Low Tech by P. Bihouix for coping with resource depletion. Life and Death of Great American Cities by Jane Jacobs for urban planning.
