Another busy week without much reading done. Just my daily chapters of different web novels.

What about all of you? What have you all been reading or listening to lately?

Just started reading The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath last night. Only about 20 pages in, so no big take-aways yet. Reading it on a recommendation to help understand how other people feel on a daily basis.

I loved that book but I didn’t finish it because it got too heavy for me. But I really enjoyed the beginning of it, I wish it went a different direction lolol.

I really like it! I don’t want to give you any spoilers, I think it’s a great read and definitely fits your description
