Finished Jujutsu Kaisen Vol 1. It's pretty fun, going to keep reading rest of the volumes.

Finished The Bullet Journal Method by Ryder Carroll. The book is divided in 4 parts, 1st part deals with the general introduction and why it's needed, 2nd part is about the actual Bullet Journal method. 3rd part is more of a self-help, and productivity mixed up. Mainly talking about mindfulness and intentional living, using bullet journal. I usually don't read books like these, but found parts of it useful (maybe because I don't read books like these?). Though at times it felt like it's making bullet journal to be some kind of way to live life, but that could be just because I am not used to such books. Overall, liked the book, would be useful in making me more productive.

Read The Thursday Murder Club by Richard Osman. It's first book of the series. I enjoyed it quite a lot, going to get the rest of the books and read them. I think the 4th one just came out recently.

Reading Summer Knight by Jim Butcher. The 4th book in The Dresden Files. Not much to say about it yet.

What about all of you? What have you been reading?

I thought you are talking about Stephen King's IT, but then realised "A Child Called It" is the full name.

Just looked it up, and book seems very disturbing.

some of the abuse he suffered, from wikipedia page

He writes how his mother was physically and emotionally abusive towards him from ages 4 to 12. He describes how his mom starved him, forced him to drink ammonia, stabbed him in the stomach, burned his arm on a gas stove, and forced him to eat his own vomit.

What kind of mother was that? I haven't explored this topic much, and didn't realise there were people like that.

Yeah, I have to say it’s been a tough read. Haven’t finished it yet, but it saddens me to think that this is a real story and many other kids go through similar childhood trauma.
