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.

From social psychologist Dr. Devon Price, a conversational, stirring call to “a better, more human …
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.

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 was super interesting, I'm glad I bought the French version for my mom. Probably the kind of book where I should have taken notes, but eh.
