    Thoughts from 32% -- Chapter 7

    Oh man, I do not like the MC at all >< She's very self obsessed, thinks high of every man and woman around her that catches her attention AND pays her attention, and when someone doesn't she dismisses them?? I'm really struggling to see the mystery aspect of this book, it just feels like a bad romance book 😭

    Thoughts from 30% (page 83) - Astérix & Obélix

    the priest......the.....PRIEST?!.......THE......PRIEST???!!! PANORAMIX IS A DRUID, NOT A PRIEST???? NOT A DRUID PRIEST (whatever that is) JUST A DRUID!!! Also, why are the names translated??? Astérix and Obélix have an accent (é) in their name, why would the translation remove it?? The author loved to flex her italian, french and latin but this is too far?? Also considering the context of the book, the guy would have read it in FRENCH and so, would pronounce the names in FRENCH so WITH the accent.....I'm crashing out.

    I'm sorry 😔✋ you can't just name drop Astérix and Obélix to show you know ball, just to get one of the most basic details of the story wrong. I smell a poser 🧐

    This is (mostly) a joke....

    UPDATE: the next page they write sacré with the accent.......this book is ragebaiting me......

    Tips for staying cool in the heatwave

    Europe is currently in a heatwave, and I am suffering. I‘m on medication that makes me a lot more sensitive to heat already, but we also don‘t have AC and my room has three outer walls, meaning I am being baked alive.

    So far I got through it by just chilling, eating ice cream, and reading a lot (goals) but yesterday I had a lot to do running across town, got no rest, and got myself a giant headache because of heat exhaustion, and my eyes are incredidibly dry because I slept in front of a fan (?), so no more reading😤

    So I have two questions:

    1. Does anyone who is more used to heat have any advice for cooling down and keeping the body functioning? Neither me nor the infrastructure is prepared for heat, and it is awful☹️
    2. Any recommendations for easy, not complicated but interesting audiobooks (or podcasts (this is how you know i‘m desperate)) for me to follow as I wallow?
