in a few days, this borrowed e-book will return to the library... it doesn't mean that i can't borrow it again, nothing bad would happen i suppose but i am asking myself if i really want to continue reading even though i wanted to finish it. The book was very interesting in the first half. It felt like a good start for those who want to know more about women's cycles... but the other half?! I hate to say this, but either i pause reading for a while and try later, maybe, OR i give it DNF and finally move on. I started reading this 27 days ago and the last few chapter i've been forcing myself and not fully paying attention to the text, to be honest.🤷‍♀️

it's already a third book and i am still fascinated by some of the names that are used and have greek or latin origin. Truth be told, some of them i know just from the russian context - history or fairy tales so i really don't know if they are considered as common names or just very old names that nobody uses anymore. I just love them, they are basically matching the atmosphere of the book world and i am always excited to google their origin... for example:

• Иннокентий /Innokentiy/ = Innocentius ... which i fully associate with english word "innocent", which is also the meaning of that name
• Артемий /Artemiy/ = Artemius, and then close to this is, of course, the name Artyom, which i consider a more common name and i really didn't think about it that deeply that it could basically have something to do with the name Artemis ... really, this kind of digging in the origin of words and names is always for me mind-blowing.
