I (re)started How to kill your family, by Bella Mackie

A few days ago I decided I wanted to try and make the act of reading part of my routine again and one of my hobbies. I have the tendency to do this, read a lot for about a month, and then falling out of it again, but I want to make it stick. This was the book I was in the process of reading the last time I fell off. Back then I stopped at page 177 (I know because the bookmark was still in), and now I am om page 75, so about 100 pages to go to be back where I was. It's a fun read, and it's nice to see how much I still remember and recognize from last time so far.
