A quick but punchy read that made me rethink the way I approach challenges.
Seth Godin gets straight to the point - sometimes quitting is the smartest move, and sticking it out only makes sense when there’s real potential on the other side. I appreciated the clarity and the permission to let go of things that aren’t going anywhere. It’s definitely a book I’ll come back to when I need to reassess where I’m putting my energy. I just wish it had dug a little deeper in parts - some ideas felt like they needed a bit more development.

Building a Second Brain is an outstanding and essential read for anyone struggling with information overload or looking to organise their digital life with purpose. Tiago Forte presents a practical, flexible system that helps you capture, organise, and use your knowledge effectively — without drowning in endless notes.
What I loved most about this book is how actionable and adaptable it is. The PARA and CODE frameworks are simple yet powerful, and they focus on turning information into action — not just collecting more stuff. Forte’s approach goes beyond organisation; it’s about unlocking creative potential and thinking more clearly in a fast-paced world.
Highly recommended for knowledge workers, creatives, lifelong learners, and anyone wanting to think better, create more, and stress less.

Logging Off by Nick Spalding is a humourous and insightful take on our tech-dominated lives and the challenges of disconnecting. Andy’s journey of logging off and facing the world offline is both funny and painfully relatable, with plenty of laugh-out-loud moments as he bumbles through life without his digital crutch. Spalding does a great job blending humour with meaningful commentary about the importance of balance in a tech-driven world.
While the story is entertaining and thought-provoking, some parts felt a little predictable, and I would have liked a bit more depth in Andy’s personal growth. That said, the book’s charm and wit more than make up for these minor issues. It’s the kind of book that makes you laugh, reflect, and maybe even rethink your own tech habits.
Overall, Logging Off is an enjoyable, feel-good read with a timely message about the value of unplugging. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a lighthearted yet meaningful story.

⁴Fairytale of New York is a delightful, heartwarming read that absolutely nails the charm of Manhattan during the holiday season. Rosie is such a relatable protagonist—flawed yet endearing—and her journey of healing and opening herself up to love again felt genuine and earned. I especially loved how her relationships with Ed and Marnie added depth and warmth to the story. The florist shop setting was beautifully described, making me want to step right into Kowalski’s.
The writing is whimsical and descriptive, and while the plot is steady and satisfying, it does lean a little predictable in places. That said, it’s exactly the kind of comfort read I was looking for. If you’re after a feel-good romance with believable characters, strong friendships, and just the right amount of emotional depth, this book is a perfect pick.
It’s not quite a 5-star read for me, but it’s close—highly recommend if you’re in the mood for something cosy and uplifting.
