Petit rat de bibliothèque qui a beaucoup de mal à lire. J'ai 32 ans, je suis non-binaire (iel+neutre/masc) et vous pouvez me retrouver sur @tellington@eldritch.cafe. J'aime un peu tous les genres sauf l'horreur et le policier. Je lis (et écris) en français et en anglais.
Lil' bookworm who has a hard time reading. I'm 32, non-binary (they/them) and you can find me at @tellington@eldritch.cafe. I like almost every genre except horror and mystery/crime novels. I read (and write) in French and English.

I wanted to read other stuff before reading this (which is the sequel of Shades of Grey) but it was too fun, I can't wait.
Ezra Tellington reviewed Laziness Does Not Exist by Devon Price
From social psychologist Dr. Devon Price, a conversational, stirring call to “a better, more human …
Interesting but a little biased
3 stars
In Laziness Does Not Exist, Devon Price talks about "the laziness lie" and how it affects people, mainly (according to his examples) by making them overextend themselves by fear of being "lazy". It was an interesting and certainly useful perspective, and Price acknowledges multiple times that people who don't do as much shouldn't be labeled as "lazy" either, but I was a little frustrated that all the examples provided were overachievers or ex-overachievers. I don't regret reading it, but I'd like another perspective next.

Glitter? Astronauts have glittery skin? I want to make a meme about the Twilight vampires. Like Drake saying no : vampires with glittering skin / Drake saying yes : astronauts with glittering skin.

Slow to start, but worth it
4 stars
I had so many questions (sparked from the first chapter... you'll know) and I didn't get answers until the last few chapters. The first 80% of the novel read like a long set-up, but a witty, funny, interesting one. I liked the first 80% but the excitement got real in the last 20%, and I listened to the last three hours of the audiobook at once instead of sleeping.

It's still good, and I kinda knew there was gonna be racist violence, but some scenes were very hard to read! Thankfully it's better for now.

Rufus is a weird little boy, I don't know how worried I should be about his moral compass and pyromaniac tendencies.
