I enjoyed learning more about different fabrics to make clothes plus the long process to integrate them into clothes and the history of these fabrics. It's well-written and I got out of a reading slump once I found the library book under the bed.

Rating: 3.5 stars

I love reading this memoir because it shows the humanity in doctors and learning from their mistakes to be a better doctor and human overall.

This book was thoroughly enjoyable to me as I learned more about the difficulties of shearing sheep, dyeing wool, and making clothing. I especially adored Peggy's writing style and I gained a lot of knowledge about some of the materials used to make clothes.

Rating: 4.5 stars

This book felt very boring and I didn't end up finishing the first chapter because of it. I don't recommending this book to anyone at all.

I'm glad that I read this because I heard a more personal account of someone slowly moving away from a fast fashion and consumerist lifestyle into a more sustainable and ethical lifestyle with fashion. As someone who resonates with her shift away from fast fashion brands to more sustainable fashion brands and buying more preloved clothes, I appreciate hearing about the need for intersectionality within the sustainable fashion movement.

This book was clearly not written for me and honestly, it sucked for the few pages that I attempted to read.

I love how poetic and elegant this graphic memoir is. I especially appreciated the black and white abstract drawings and the simplicity of the words on the page. This is one of the best memoirs I've read this year, and dare I say of all time. Keep being yourself, Pierre XO. I'll miss you when you're officially gone.

I love the vibe and the short length of the poems. It reminds of the poems in Milk and honey by Rupi Kaur and I got sense that's where some of Sophie's inspiration comes from. Anyway, I'm dying to read her future works and will eagerly wait for her upcoming releases.

Honestly, this book fell short of expectations and I stopped reading after the second chapter. I heard her other books a try so I'll give her a second chance in the future.

I anticipated giving a high rating for this book but the story fell flat to me. It was okay for the most part but I wish the characters were better developed. I appreciate the queer representation but I wish the plot was also more exciting.

This book gives a different take on the benefits and harms of general AI compared to the numerous podcasts and books I've read thus far. If you want to learn about the power and limitations of AI, please read this book. I highly recommend for a person well versed in AI already.

I only read the first two chapters and honestly thought this book wouldn't be worth it in the long haul due to poor character development. I heard her other books are better so I'll give her another chance. However, this book wasn't worth my time and energy.

I love reading books I read as a child as an adult. This book will always have a special place in my heart especially since it's been almost two decades since I read this book. I love the character development, pacing, and plot of this book. If you have a child, please let them read this book for them to remember for years to come.

I couldn't even finish the first chapter of this book because I was that bored with this book. The characters lack depth and substance from what I heard so I'm not reading this book any further.

The book fell slightly flat to me in the beginning but got more exciting once they discussed about modern Mars and the future of Mars exploration. I'm looking forward to learning more about their future books to see how they improve their craft.

I definitely recommend this book for everyone so they know how to advocate for themselves when they're at the hospital. There are plenty if useful tips you can implement in your next hospital visit for different cases whether you're at the emergency unit or elsewhere.

What a thought provoking book that I read in perfect timing. As someone who is getting more into sustainable and ethical fashion, it's unbelievable that fashion brands still put in unsafe chemicals into their clothes. Airlines should do a much better job of protecting their employees and not gaslight them. I'm glad these issues have been brought to light to raise awareness and call to action.

Thank you, mytbr.co, for recommending this book. While I have some background about psychology, this book has further developed my knowledge in human psychology and showcases phenomena like why people believe in conspiracy theories, misinformation, and the correlation between religiosity and believing in the paranormal. It's quite interesting to see how some people still believe in vaccines, causing autism and autistic people being more likely to just focus on the physical world as opposed to the paranormal. I would love to see more helpful research about autism in the future, but so far, well done. I hope more people read this book because it's underrated.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in science communication and wants to either become a freelancer or have a career in this area. The content is easy to digest to understand and captivates me from the beginning to the end.

Rating: 4.25 stars

I like the structure and execution of this book. It's extremely well-written but I wish that there wasn't any mention of technology that feels like ADHD because ADHD is much more complicated than a lack of focus and shortened attention span. I actually have ADHD and my symptoms vary based on the activity. ADHD can also mean hyperfocusing on an activity, which isn't as often talked about. Other than that, I enjoyed the book and would recommend it to others.

I love how vulnerable Pauline Chen gets in her memoir about the realities of being a doctor. Though I will never come close to what she has seen in my life, I appreciate hearing about her experiences taking care of her patients with her amazing bedside manner and how she copes with death and loss.

I'm glad that the author, Baek Se-hee, got the proper treatment for her persistent depression and I thoroughly enjoyed reading her memoir about recovering from her mental illness with her psychiatrist. I'm glad she had a positive experience getting mental health treatment in the span of 12 weeks, and now I want to eat tteokbokki for dinner.
