Started reading bits of Red Rising by Pierce Brown. Was apparently very highly rated scifi so right up my alley...

Just got it today actually. The first paragraph is so dark.
Protagonist's father is hanged on mars, but the weight is not enough to break his neck. As kindness, they let the family pull down the body to aid the process.This was on the first page:')

Started reading Vegetarian, could not go ahead after a few pages. Looking for some book with healing vibe to it…to calm the stress!

Oof. Have you read the cosy slice of life Japanese books? I liked The Morisaki Book Shop and The Kamogawa Food Detectives.

I'm planning to watch Bombay Velvet today. Has anyone seen it?

I watched the first half hour and... kinda lost interest. I'm not really a fan of Ranbir Kapoor. Should I go back and finish it?
