Not a bad book at all, but entirely the wrong focus to be relatable for me. There were interesting parts and nice exemples, but overall, it was not helpful to me and my work.

Review of 'Freedom with Food and Fitness' on 'Storygraph'
5 stars
I thought the title sounded good, but when I saw that the author is some kind of a "eat healthy" sales woman, I got very wary.
But this book is actually very nice. A lot of solid advice with sources to check and never the impression that she wants to sell you something. A great mix of anecdotes and science with a lot of useful tips. I enjoyed it, even though it wasn't that much new information for me, but I assume that this can be very eye-opening for some people, who are deep in the diet spiral.

Review of 'Macbeth' on 'Storygraph'
4 stars
A quick and cute love story between a witch and a ghost. I was curious about the how/why, which cost the last star, but it works just fine without it.
Due to the short format, it's fast-paced, but not hectic. I really enjoyed it and recommend it to anyone who likes paranormal sapphic spice.
