I've know about this book for years and I was waiting on the right time to read it - I think this wasn't it. The themes of self-hatred and love cut deep for most people, I felt like I need to re-read it to digest it properly

Intresting ideas. I didn't take it seriousl a real theory I just wanted to find out more about Nostradamus. I bought it under a false idea about the books plot, my fault ofc but yes I can say I enjoyed it

Before the Coffee Gets Cold by Toshikazu Kawaguchi
Did not finish book. Stopped at 70%.

Not the book for me maybe idk, I wish there was MORE, character exploration, origin given anything. The only parts I actually enjoyed were when they were travelling in time 

Once Upon a Broken Heart by Stephanie Garber
Did not finish book.

Maybe I'm just not the target audience, the main character felt very one dimentianal, the dialogue reminded me of a bad fanfiction. I got the recommendation from booktoob and I think i kind of respect that creator less

Abby Lee Miller "you didn't stick out to me"
I didn't have any big issue with this book, its just that for a lack of better word - it bored me. I felt like I've read this before and I feel like a lot of people would feel the same especially if you "grew up" on the feminist corner of the Internet like me. If you read another short story collection like this you'll probably drop this book after the third story
