The Candles Are Burning by Veronica G. Henry

This one was better than the two first stories in the series, but can't compare to the other three. Let's see how the last one fares.
What the Dead Know by Nghi Vo

It maybe should be a bit longer. It needed to develop some things a little bit more. But overall, it was good.
On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft by Stephen King
2.0
This book is a nice and fast read.
I would recommend this to King fans, who may enjoy some context in the author's life, as well an insight into some of his books.
For beginner writers: there are some valuable lessons in there, but nothing you cannot find - or discover for yourself - along the way. Just be cautious, because, as King himself says, something that works for him might not work for you. I've found that the best way to know what works ir by practicing, which is also something King advocated for in this book.
For more advanced writers, this book doesn't add much in terms of techniche. But, like I said, it's a nice and easy read, and got me feeling more inspired afterwards.
I also enjoyed learning more about his writing process, even if I haven't read any of his books lmao. Maybe I'll pick one up soon.

Nossa Parte de Noite by Mariana Enríquez

This book was written for ME.
I know it'll not be for everyone. It's very character focused, almost mundane in some aspects, even if, at the same time, it's the opposite of mundane. It was a joy to read. I couldn't stop turning page after page, eager to discover more about this world, more about this mistery, more about these characters.
