DNF. Could find time for it: more of a bite-sized than binge-read book. Also it felt pretentious and did not generate any insights. I bet the author felt so smart coming up with this premise.

I don't get the fascination with stubble that all romance books have
Sex Criminals: The Complete Edition by Matt Fraction
3.5
Awesome start, fun premise. Didn't get the way the mystery was resolved when it got more serious.
Francie by Karen English

Quick but moving read. The note of hope it ended on was so heartwarming.
Normal People by Sally Rooney

I loved the writing style and couldn't put it down. The charater descriptions and relationship dynamics were great. Really enjoyed the first half but it got less relatable towards the end.
The Book of Delights by Ross Gay
4.0
The audiobook experience was way more enjoyable. It's read by the author, and the poetry-like format is better understood in audio. Also I wish I read it in smaller chunks, since each delight is self-contained.
I really liked this book. Noticing and appreciating little things in life is something I want to do more.

What About Men? by Caitlin Moran

British people are funny, who knew. Enjoyed the first two thirds let's say. I understand why Andrew Tate and old age need to be in here, but I couldn't relate.
Also women friendships seem very enviable.
I already talk with my friends about mental health and "real stuff", so yay the times are changing

The Unbearable Lightness of Being by Milan Kundera
3.5
Really liked the first section. I got lost in the political stuff after that. The best chapters were the ones on difference in language and the weight of compassion.
Kinda sad book, overall. I'd love to read a book like this about my own life, a philosophical/psychoanalysis of my motives and goals.
