Heya Im reading A Court of Wings and Fury right now from the A Court of Thorns and Roses Series. I like It enough to not give up on it but I must admit that I find myself rolling my eyes a lot.

Sounds interesting... well, just enough to keep going!

Its in audiobook form and I listen on my commute. I tried reading the actual book a few years ago and stopped 85% of the way through. Its just such a dang popular book that I feel like I HAVE to read it #readingteacherproblems

📚 BookBabble 51: 'The Daily Stoic' by Ryan Holiday

This Stoic classic contains various meditations, thoughts and writings from philosophers, thinkers and emperors of the past. They've all been put together in this book for a daily dose of wisdom…

Marcus Aurelius, Seneca, Epictetus (and more) are all in amongst it here, with the author giving some analysis on their musings and timeless wisdom which is as applicable today as ever.

Great book, easy to read as short chapters so you can dip in and out as you please, and I'm sure plenty of nuggets to be gained for all!
