I finished Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir. Loved the book. There was lots of science, but it was explained well enough that it wasn't an issue. There were also certain things which may not feel very probable, but it's a science fiction, so I didn't care about that, but I can see some people having problem with that.

Started a manga, Jujutsu Kaisen, Volume 1. Just started it yesterday, after finishing Project Hail Mary, and have almost finished it. I have read a couple of small manga before, but it's my first physical one, so enjoying that. Though, when I got it, I didn't realise JJK is still an on-going series. Personally I prefer something that has finished. Ah well, already started it, so just going to read them slowly now.

Still reading The Bullet Journal Method by Ryder Carroll. The book has been a lot more helpful that I expected it to be. I never thought about the "why" part much, at least haven't done so in a while. So, all the talk about mindfulness and chapters about living the intentional life are helpful.

What about you guys? What have you been reading?

Looked it up, saw the name "Peter Newman", and heard the voice of Seinfield, "Hello, Newman".

What are you not liking about it? Writing style? Or issue with story / world-building / characters etc?

The writing style is a little rough, and I'm not sure if my imagination is having trouble grasping how things are described or if they're just described so vaguely that it's giving me trouble picturing certain things (trying not to spoil anything if anyone who's reading it comes across this)

I love the premise of the story though, and most chapters are amazing. Character building is done well. But you ever come across a few paragraphs that you need to reread because you realized you didn't understand it fully? Some whole chapters are like that for me lol

Ah okay. If you finish the series, would love to hear your overall impressions about the whole series.
