Finished Jujutsu Kaisen Vol 1. It’s pretty fun, going to keep reading rest of the volumes.

Finished The Bullet Journal Method by Ryder Carroll. The book is divided in 4 parts, 1st part deals with the general introduction and why it’s needed, 2nd part is about the actual Bullet Journal method. 3rd part is more of a self-help, and productivity mixed up. Mainly talking about mindfulness and intentional living, using bullet journal. I usually don’t read books like these, but found parts of it useful (maybe because I don’t read books like these?). Though at times it felt like it’s making bullet journal to be some kind of way to live life, but that could be just because I am not used to such books. Overall, liked the book, would be useful in making me more productive.

Read The Thursday Murder Club by Richard Osman. It’s first book of the series. I enjoyed it quite a lot, going to get the rest of the books and read them. I think the 4th one just came out recently.

Reading Summer Knight by Jim Butcher. The 4th book in The Dresden Files. Not much to say about it yet.

What about all of you? What have you been reading?

    Just finished NOS4A2 by Joe Hill, and liked it quite a bit. One minorly interesting thing I haven’t seen before is that some chapters would end like “and then she tumbled into the” and the next chapter would be titled “Kitchen”. This is the first Joe Hill book I’ve read, so it makes me wonder if he writes any characters that aren’t severely broken in some way lol. Looks like there’s a TV series adaptation, but it’s only got 6.7 on IMDB so I’ll probably skip it.

      How is Joe Hill’s writing compared to Stephen King’s? I have mentioned before that for some reason I couldn’t get into King, though I haven’t read his most famous work, so going to give them a try soon. I have read tons of Dean Koontz though.

        I actually haven’t read much Stephen King, but my wife says they’re pretty similar. He took the name Joe Hill because he didn’t want to rely on his dad’s name, but then a bunch of people were like “Does Stephen King have a new pseudonym?”, so take that how you will.

          Ah okay, probably not for me then. I am going to give Stephen King one last chance. Have one book of his that I am going to read, and then get one of his famous one, probably IT, let’s see.

            Have you read 11/22/63 by King? It’s not his usual style, but I really enjoyed it.

              No, that’s in the list of “one of his famous books”, not sure if I will read that or something else. Whichever is the thinnest, I guess 😀

                I think it’s certainly Thinner (oh look, a pun) than IT, and deviates from his other horror genre.
