reading in Polish, English, and Chinese. lately mostly nonfiction and poetry, although I'm trying to get back into fiction books - I like horror and fantasy the most (in this order). slowly starting to track manga books on here too as long as I have finished reading the whole volume.

reviewed Złożone PTSD by Pete Walker

Pete Walker: Złożone PTSD (Hardcover, Polish language, 2024, Harmonia)

A helpful, but deeply flawed self-help book

Review in both Polish & English. Polska wersja na dole.

EN

I’ve read this book before. It was a few years ago, when my mental health was much worse than it is now. Back then, I read it in English; this time, I picked up the Polish edition. This time it proved much less helpful to me than it did back then – which was a pleasant surprise, since while reading I realized just how many of the strategies the author writes about I have already implemented in my own life. And they actually help me! Which means that if you suffer from C-PTSD and don’t know how to cope with it, this book actually has a lot to offer for you.

However. The author has his own biases, which he doesn’t as much as attempt to hide, and which you should keep in mind when reading …

サクタロー: あさぎ色のサウダージ(1) (GraphicNovel, Japanese language, 2024, KADOKAWA)

居場所を探したボク、居場所をくれるのはキミ

居場所を探したボク、居場所をくれるのはキミ この世のすべてを諦めた彼女の前に現れたのは、世界で一番会いたくなくて死ぬほど会いたかった、かつての親友――。「駄目だったら一緒に死んじゃおっか」そんな言葉をきっかけに1年リミットの漫画家生活が始まる。

Asagi Iro no Saudade (1)

This manga’s portrayal of mental health issues is really sincere and done very well, as is the way it tackles the topic of subtle misogyny and general societal distaste for gender nonconformity and queerness. I think I’m at the stage of my life where I find Ren’s character very relatable, so after having read just one volume I already know this manga will become quite dear to me.

小胖子拍肚子: 老婆就是不离婚 (Chinese language, jjwxc)

老婆就是不离婚 by 

穿成臭名昭著的人渣之后,为了避免自己的悲惨结局,唐梨硬着头皮去见自己的婚约对象。

看着优雅美艳的楚总监,她感觉赚翻了。

楚迟思坐在沙发上,大半个身子陷落在黑暗中,修长的手抵着额间,笑得慵懒又漫不经心。

“婚后约法三章,我不会爱你,”她说,“你也别想从我这里得到爱。”

唐梨欣喜:“没事,有饭吃就行。”

婚后生活平淡而无聊,直到有一天外卖小哥被管家拦在门口,唐梨气得“离家出走”去了炸鸡店,回来发现变天了——

昂贵红酒碎裂一地,十几个屏幕监视着家里的不同区域,楚迟思红着眼,声音沙哑:“为什么要离开?”

唐梨愣了:“什么?”

楚迟思踉踉跄跄地走来,她牵着自己的指尖,眼中涌动着阴郁的疯狂,声音都在颤抖。

“……求你。”
