i bought decorative "aesthetic books" on etsy... and actually read them

Genuinely, I lost my appetite whilst reading this because all of the recipes sound gross. Meh is Cook for Hire.

it really said "step one: be good at art" and i'm like "whoa, backtrack" I'm gonna need the absolute basics from you sir. Honestly I've learned more from a 15-second TikTok than i did from this book.

Overall, this guide to art was quite lovely. I learned a lot more about like Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, which i think is really helpful when i'm kind of reading Asian literature.

It was just a guide to all of these different vintage motor cars but could someone please tell me why there was a racist comment on page 23? I think I'm just mad that it wasn't a colouring book

This was the Growing Pains of Adrian Mole and I loved it, genuinely what an amazing book! I have given so few five-star reviews so far this year but this was a five star

the section on Durham was really cool because I learned a lot more about the area that i lived in for like three years... As for the rest of the book... Ikind of skim-read it, i'm not gonna lie.

Another thing I learned is that Victorian Christmas cards would depict, like, children being told off or a husband murdering his wife, so that's... festive? Those two books will go in the okay category -- quite informative but ultimately not that interesting.
