The Last Mrs. Parrish by Liv Constantine
Did not finish book. Stopped at 23%.

I know that lots of reviews note that the second half of this book is where it picks up, but I just couldn't get through Amber's story to get there. I don't hate unlikable characters, but she was downright horrid.

Daily Rituals: How Artists Work by Mason Currey

4.0

Great peek into the daily habits of over 200 artists, writers, inventors and more. For some I would have liked a bit more research or possibly a commentary at the end with key takeaways or what the author learned from researching all these brilliant minds. Overall, however, the book was an easy read and I jotted down a ton of habits and notes to start integrating into my own life.
