Living A Slow Life In The City

  • Books I Read

I was reading my email today and stumbled upon an email notification from one of the authors (I'm doing ARC again) informing me that her book is now available worldwide for purchase and that a review of the book can help with marketing this week. Of course, I obliged happily and went to one of the retail shops to post my review. It was a solid plan until I noticed that the review I posted was not for that book. What a bummer. It was an honest mistake on my part because, as I was doing that review, I was also doing this blog post.  

Basically, I copied and pasted the wrong review for a book. So embarrassing. I immediately contacted the customer service of that website, and I was assisted by their AI virtual assistant. I narrated what happened, and the AI assistant quickly answered me with the solution, which I followed, but it didn't help with my problem. So, I sent two screenshots, which the AI assistant analyzed, and it still ended with the same solution. At this point, our conversation went in circles, and there was no more solution to give. 

The AI  assistant offered to transfer me to a human for further assistance, which made me happy and hopeful. Finally, a human who could give me a better answer to my complex problem. The HUMAN agent did resolve my problem, and now waiting for their final email update. 

As much as I want to finish more books, I always end up with a few, but I'm still thankful for the free time to indulge myself in reading. 

  • The Problem with Wishes by Hazel Calder (ARC)- I really had fun reading this book, and I love how the story unfolds without forcing the relationship between Scarlet & Sahir. A slow-burn. I would love to give this 5 stars, but there is one issue for me. There were moments when I felt I was lost because I didn't understand whether Sahir was seen by other people or if he was just a voice in Scarlet's head while they were together. Overall, I simply adore this. :)

  • The Vegetarian by Han Kang - I really don't know how to feel about this book. I was lost for words after I finished it. I was just there on our bed, asking myself what just happened to the story. There was no resolution to the questions I wasn't supposed to have when I started reading it. I gave it one star, and that was generous because the premise looked promising that made me want to finish it. I also felt that the translation/translator did the author dirty because a lot of things don't make sense to me, and I wonder if it is translated the way it's supposed to be.
