conto de terror brasileiro com um final menos catártico do que eu esperava, mas me deixou curiosa pra ler mais do autor.

o personagem Dagoberto está para essa coletânea como o Edgar Wilson está para a obra da Ana Paula Maia.

Atomic Habits: An Easy & Proven Way to Build Good Habits & Break Bad Ones by James Clear
3.5
I read this book exactly one year ago but never reviewed it. It was my first self-help book and I was surprised by its practical advice that can be easily applied to daily life. After finishing it, I realized I was already following some of the tips in my reading system. There's nothing groundbreaking or original here, especially if you're familiar with the productivity side of YouTube. However, those channels talking about how to get things done take a lot from Atomic Habits (and the author, in turn, took a lot from others). Among the creators I know in the field, Elizabeth Phillips seems the only one offering refreshing or more realistic content (and content more suited for people with ADHD I dare say). Although her thumbnails lately give me "AI-generated" vibes, she and James Clear have helped me too see how I approach things more clearly and where to go from there.

"I am happier even than Jane; she only smiles, I laugh."
great narrator, possibly even better than Rosamund Pike and Juliet Stevenson. another 4-stars reread, however, as once again I couldn't conceive why Darcy and Bingley became friends in the first place, considering how different they are. additionally, the telling-not-showing regarding the romance, especially in the portrayal of Darcy, really bothered me this time around. everyone else has more screentime than him, even when my man actively participates in the conversation. so a good fanfic was never more needed.

mais consistente e inquietante que a primeira edição, porém também mais frustrante, com finais abertos ou incompletos e contextos muito vagos. além disso, o tema — manchas — não é devidamente explorado sob o viés sociopolítico apontado na introdução. boa parte do propósito dos contos se perde devido a essa quebra de expectativa, enfatizada pelo fato de que qualquer interesse pelas tramas em si recebe pouca ou nenhuma explicação em troca.
