pickI attended a training recently on working with neurodivergent colleagues and decided to listen to this book for a little more insight. It talks about different types of neurodiversities and highlights women in these categories, which I really appreciated as it‘s always been a male dominated study. This book was enlightening and I had some takeaways and see many traits in my immediate family which is not surprising at all.

Watch Over Me 5⭐️
This book is a contemporary gothic story with a touch of magical realism. It‘s all about grief, mental health & learning to face your demons—literal & figurative. Nina LaCour is the queen of crafting stories that are as heartbreaking as they are healing. She nails it here again. 👇

pickWe all have the “what if..” thoughts in life. Is the grass really greener on the other side? I enjoyed the perspective of looking at another “life” if a different choice was made. I honestly couldn‘t put this one down and read it within 2 days. This is definitely a new favorite!
November 23, 2024 Last time I posted was October 29, 2024. Time has flown by and I can't believe that 2024 is almost over. One more week of October, 4 weeks and 2 days in December, and ta-da January is here. Will next year be another year flying by?! Anyway, I am currently reading Yolk. Will update you on the book in future posts. Stay tuned
pickAfter having read this book, I think I‘d like to read the author‘s other books. The style of writing is beautiful. This book is about remembering to slow down, why we should do it, and that it‘s okay to do it. Shown: a stunning sunrise from this past Tuesday. I had no choice but to yield, and take in the beauty before hurrying in to this daily thing we call work. Hurry to work, when there‘s this to look at? Is that even a question?!
We are a forgetful species, obsessed with the endless succession of tasks that hover over our days, and negligent of the grand celestial drama unfolding around us. And here I am, remembering.
Shown: the pale blue dot (us!) visible under Saturn‘s rings. When looking at the cars and icy cascades of WA through the plane window, I thought, from up here, all the nonsense going on down there seems so petty! Why do we wrap ourselves up in wars, ⬇️
Not reading this whole book and I totally disagree with the author‘s “peer contagion” nonsense regarding trans identities… but I have to say this graph is striking. So even though I think Haidt is wrong on other things, maybe we should all go out and spend more time with friends?
pickAn interesting and insightful exploration of the mental health world, particularly as it relates to psychopathy. I read this for my IRL book group in preparation for seeing Jon Ronson talking about it last night. He was an entertaining presenter, and having a couple of the people whose stories he told in the book joining in by Zoom on a big screen was inspired.
- Weekend away in London was awesome! Absolutely knackered now though - I think it will take me several more days to recover.
-Tagged book: I appreciate the term “lezzing off” so much 😂
- Bath bomb was another LushxMinecraft collab: Diamond Ore. These are so well done…I love how they look, smell and feel. #bathbomb #minecraft #london #lush
