Book 5 for the year. Thoroughly enjoyed this read this. 📚 The drama that went down on the night of the party had me completely hooked 😱.

Book 4 for the year. Struggled to finish this one. Stand out quote: “Cooking is enjoyable, but the moment it becomes a duty, it grows boring. The same is true of sex, and fashion and beauty. When you’re forced to do something, it becomes a chore, and the pleasure disappears.”

Took a lot of L’s this year, including my reading goal. I was aiming for 12 books, but ended up panic reading a 100-plus pages today just to say I hit 7. 📖💨 Not the win I wanted, but we pivot and try again in 2026.

My 5th for the year. My favourite lines in the book were these: “There was not a single man whom I was willing to put before my dreams… I was happy to date guys, but not at the cost of my independence or freedom and especially not my career.” But in my family, parents decided this for my sisters.

My 4th book for the year. I must say I struggled with this one at the start. And then towards the end, when I was beginning to enjoy it, came this sentence, “If you think this book is incomprehensible or meaningless, it has not yet happened to you…”. I guess I’ll be reading this again soon. 😬
