kitchen 4⭐
love it ! it even makes me cry, the depiction of food was amazing and motivate me to cook more, i really the characters and their relationship however i didn't like that a cute friendship kinda turned to have romance included just cause they're man and woman : " we have always acted like brother and sister, aren't we really man and woman in the primordial sense, and don't we think of each other in that way ?"
a another thing that i dislike is that they sometimes refer as a trans woman by saying that she is a man, which is not true she may be biologically a man but she's a woman. could be a five-star but I remove a star for the cishet nonsense but homewever a really nice and beautiful written story.

moonlight shadow 3,75⭐
I don't really know how I feel about it, i really liked it but the ending felt so rushed. i think the story could be more developed

the dog's killer didn't have any remorse and don't even seem to understand how wrong is it to murder a dog
felt too long a lot of chapter that didn't add to story but just to understand more the character but it really the vibe everytime, also this is a novel so I don't understand why there's math in it

Kitchen Table Tarot: Pull Up a Chair, Shuffle the Cards, and Let's Talk Tarot by Melissa Cynova

I really liked some interpretation of the cards but sometimes I didn't understand her point.
A lot of her advices are for future professional tarot reader which I didn't like, especially cause it's a beginner book.
I really enjoy to hear about her experience as a professional tarot, it really helped to understand the interpretation.
Overall it's a good book for beginners i just didn't like that she assumes that we want to be professional. I would recommend to also read about other people's interpretation to create your own interpretation of each cards, cause there's not only way to read the cards
