Finished No One Can Know by Kate Alice Marshall. I thought it was okay. I liked the pacing but not so much the ending. #booksky

Read The Poison Squad by Deborah Blum. Truly amazing book. "We tend these days to cast a romantic glow over the foods of our forefathers...that they ate and drank in a world untouched by the chemically enhanced and deceptive food manufacturing practices of today. In this we would be wrong" #booksky

Read Middle of the Night by Riley Sager. I really liked it, it's not beating out my favourite Riley Sager, but it's up there. #booksky

Read Witches of Ash and Ruin by E. Latimer. YA fantasy isn't really my thing but I loved the action and suspense in this novel. There were a couple of plot points that weren't resolved which annoyed me, but if you love YA fantasy I think this book would be a very fun read. #booksky

Finished Pests by Bethany Brookshire. An interesting dive into why we categorize some animals as pests, what does 'pest' mean anyway, and what does it mean to live alongside nature. "[Coexistence] is not always painless or easy" #booksky

Well, I have been accepted to grad school for social sciences. But it's very hard to be excited when cuts to funding seem to be on the table even in Canada. I know I might have to leave research upon graduation, and hate the job I worked so hard to get.

After taking my time for like 6 months, I've finished The Great Indoors by Emily Anthes. It read like a collection of short stories highlighting different ideas in indoor architecture, incorporating topics like psychology, climate change, and even colonizing Mars. I thoroughly enjoyed it. #booksky

Read Amanda Montell's The Age of Magical Overthinking. I agree with many reviews, the psych theories could've been explored more, but I loved the rest. I audibly gasped when I swiped the page and saw 'Acknowledgements'. What do you mean there's no more book? Already put a hold for Cultish #booksky

Just read Happy City by Charles Montgomery. Given everything that's happening, I was ready to find out many of the projects in this book are no longer ongoing, but actually many still are, which made me happy.

If you want to know how to make cities better, give this book a read!
