Hopefully this book will help get me out of my reading slump 🤡

I wonder if he'll go into depth on research that compares EMDR and other forms of trauma-focused therapy 🤔

Really interesting take on how childcare and home visitations can be a good investment for communities. In addition, I loved van der Kolk's insight on developmental trauma and gripes he has with the APA's current DSM-V and it's several flaws.

Finally something interesting is being discussed 😭

A really interesting insight as to how trauma can cause lead us to direct our strong negative emotions to others from a neurological perspective

What's with Anne giving mixed signals to the audience about her love life 😭😭

Damn Davy really be exposing people left and right without even trying 😂

Damn. A friendly reminder that not all dreams come true 😭😭

If I only had a close tight-knit friends during my freshman years of college 😭😭

Wtfff 🤯🤯

Loving how the story is aligning itself with the original Frankenstein story, but from another perspective

The writing is sooooo good. I love the slow but gradually horror aspects emerging from the story 😱

I'm still trying to figure out how the main character, who I find very interesting, sees Victor. 🧐

That tiny Shirbert moment just sent me 😍😍

Completed The Magician's Nephew. Loved the story from beginning to end. I found the Queen's arrival to the real world to be very comedic! The children were endearing, and Diggory's development was great. Though I wished they explored how the Queen ended up invading Narnia by the end of the story.

Completed The Horse and his Boy. I felt that the story only got more interesting in the final fall of the story. I also noticed how I'm more invested in the antgonist's perspective than the protagonist. It also seemed like Shasta's background by the end of the story seemed rushed and came out of nowhere. Overall, a solid book (minus the Orientalist vibe it gave, which I understand was a product of time).

Completed The Silver Chair. Loved seeing improvements in Eustace's character, though I wasn't really fond of Jill. Probably my least favourite part of the chronicles so far, but the ending was bittersweet (which I love).

Completed The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. Loved the adventures! Loved how the biblical references were becoming less subtle by the end of book. Though I did think it would have been better if Eustace's character development was gradual rather than instantaneous.

Completed Prince Caspian. Still a very light read, but more interesting than The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. Found the integration of biblical and colonial symbolism in the story very fascinating.

Completed The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. Very quick read. Don't know how the movie was able to elongate it into a 2 hr story, but would love to see it as a musical for some reason.

Never have I wished for the demise of any character like I have for Rasheed right now...
