Monthly Reading Report (2022/08)

number of readings

The total number of readings in August 2022 is 29. I originally thought that the reading volume of this month would be lower than that of July. I did not expect that it will exceed July in the end, but mainly because many of them are comics. I only read 2 novels this month, but reading 6 books in the spiritual inspiration category is a small breakthrough.

Novels: 2

Spiritual inspiration: 6 books

Business management: 1 book

Comics: 4 sets, 17 in total

Picture books: 3 books

Topic reading

The theme of August is Soulology, mainly to do a little preparation for writing novels, so I watched "Love Yourself, Just the Beginning", "Dealing with Your Negative Sentences", "Here & hereafter" and "The World of Eternal Life" , mainly discussing the soul and death.

The common point of the above books is that the soul exists, and death is not the end, and this is what I have always believed. "Love Yourself is Just the Beginning" and "Dealing with Your Negative Sentences" are written by the same author Ruowen Huang wrote that she and Tyler Henry, the author of "Here & hereafter", are also psychic mediums, and both let us know that the world after death does exist, and we don't need to be afraid of death, and Japan's Okawa Takafa also showed in "The World of Eternal Life" Very similar statements, although there are some subtle differences, but the three authors have the same tone.

Therefore, I can continue to believe in what I have always believed. The soul does exist, and we come to the world for the evolution of the soul. After reading more books on spirituality, there is a new kind of injustice in the world. view.

Everything in the universe is about balance, so cause and effect do exist, but not necessarily the retribution we see, but a larger pattern of cause and effect.

When I understand that everything that everyone encounters is the arrangement of the soul, there is nothing that cannot be ignored.

" Mansion "

Author: Wesley

Likes: ★★★★

Short comment: I may have seen Wesley as a child, but I haven't seen it for many years. Because I seldom read novels this month, I wanted to find a novel that I could easily read, so I decided to read Wesley, and I fought with my daughter. She read the juvenile version and I read the original. Of course, I won, because the good-looking novel Basically I can read it in a day, and I always wonder what will happen next.

The beginning of this story is very interesting. A person takes the elevator upstairs. It is only the 22nd floor and can be reached in one minute. However, the elevator continued to rise for more than 20 minutes. After that, someone disappeared and someone died, and the incident became more and more mysterious.

It's a fascinating mystery that makes people want to keep watching.

" Everything Is Possible "

Author: Elizabeth Strout

Likes: ★★☆

Short comment: Actually, I chose this book purely because of the phrase "We are all souls with toothaches", and I had a hard time reading it.

Not that the book isn't good-looking, it's just that I can't remember a lot of names in the book.

I was very bad at remembering foreign names, and with a lot of characters, I quickly got confused and dizzy. Although this book is a short story, each story is a story that happened in a small town, and the character chapters are related, and I have absolutely no idea who is related to whom. I finally finished watching it, but I didn't know what I saw.

" Loving yourself is just the beginning "

Author: Ruowen Huang

Likes: ★★★★☆

Short Review: This book talks about mediums, the soul, the universe, death, self-love, depression, eczema, phobias, and more.

Even if you don't accept psychic mediums very much, this book can still give you something to gain, and it can give people a new interpretation of death and various diseases of the body.

I read the author's first book "You Are Your Own Key" and liked it very much. I immediately bought this book, and then I immediately bought her third book after reading this book.

" Dealing with Your Negative Sentences "

Author: Ruowen Huang

Likes: ★★★★

Short Comment: Continue reading Psychic Mom's book.

The first few chapters continue with spirituality, which is the part I am most interested in. Later, there began to appear spiritual articles that teach people how to look at relationships and husband-wife relationships. In this regard, my interest is a little weaker, and I still like to talk about spirituality.

However, I put a lot of emphasis on this book, so it is a very enlightening book. For example, at the beginning, it tells how to look at tragedy and how to look at good people and bad people. I have never understood why there are souls who arrange the mystery of a tragic life for themselves, and let go of the good and evil and attachments in the world.

"Here & hereafter"

Author: Tyler Henry

Likes: ★★★★

Short review: It took three weeks to read this book.

Compared to Tyler Henry's predecessor, this one is much more esoteric.

The previous book was like reading the author's autobiography, which was vivid and interesting. This one is more theoretical and has greatly reduced storytelling, so I read it very slowly.

I got a lot of inspiration from reading this book.

"The World of Eternal Life"

Author: Takashi Okawa

Likes: ★★★★

Short Commentary: A Japanese author's account of the world after death.

Basically, it is very similar to the western set, but of course there are some differences. Anyway, people who are alive do not know the correct answer for the afterlife world anyway, so I just choose to believe in the set that I can accept.

However, anyway, it is a book that guides people to be kind, that is, choose a path of life that is worthy of your heart, and must not commit suicide, etc.

I am so convinced that the afterlife does exist.

The real death is the complete separation of the soul from the body.

"The Attractive Enchantment of Good Things"

Author: Ikari Noriko

Likes: ★★★★☆

Short Comments: A book that can be read easily, and which brings great benefits to the reader. Whether you believe in the law of attraction or not, whether or not you believe in the enchantment mentioned by the author in the book (similar to a protective shield, after the enchantment is created, it will only absorb good things and prevent bad things from invading), you will gain something from simply reading this book It's like teaching you how to reverse negative thoughts, how to improve your relationships, how to believe in yourself and love yourself.

Let's attract more good things together.

"The 4,000 Weeks of Life"

Author: Oliver Berkman

Likes: ★★★★

Short comment: I have to admit that when I first saw the title of the book "Life 4,000 Weeks", I thought it was a sentimental book. It probably said that there are only 4,000 weeks in life, so we should cherish it and so on. As a result, I opened the book. Later, I found out that this is a very hard book, with a lot of theory and little emotion.

The theme of this book is time management. It teaches people how to face time and life. There are many fresh concepts for people to reflect on, and they will definitely gain something. This is not really teaching you how to make good use of time, but urging readers to accept limited time. The extent to which people can control time is limited, and only after accepting can they gain strength.

"Writing and Thinking Brain Organizing Notes"

Author: Saito Takashi

Likes: ★★★★

Short comment: It has been mentioned before that I am a note-taking controller. The method introduced in this book is very simple, that is, "writing" notes, thinking through writing, and then solving problems.

I'm used to using electronic notes now, but it's actually good to occasionally switch to writing notes (in the past, my notes were really written in notebooks, and now even if I have a notebook in my bag, I almost never take it out Write)

Of course, there are many methods and rules for writing notes in the book, and the writing is easy to understand and recommend.

"Don't Say It's Reasoning" 7-10

Author: Tamura Yumi Likes: ★★★★☆

Short comment: After reading some follow-up comics, I didn't think it was very good, until I saw the follow-up of "Don't Say It's Reasoning", it was very nice.

There are long stories and short stories, and the long stories are more exciting than the short stories. The last kidnapping case (episodes 9 and 10) is even more exciting, and it should be the best story in so many books of "Don't Say It's Reasoning".

"Impossible Mom Survival Story"

Author: Ma Zai

Likes: ★★★★

Short comment: There have always been books about Chasing Ma Tsai, from her office series to becoming a wife and then a mother, and now the family immigrates. Reading her books is like reading her life course, and I also saw my daughter by myself. She also became her fan, and the whole batch of books became her property.

This book was bought by my daughter as soon as she saw it in the bookstore, which shows how much she loves it.

This is a book drawn by the author after immigrating. I originally expected to have more interesting stories about life in other places, but in fact, most of them are family life.

No matter what the content, my daughter and I always buy the book as soon as Mazai comes out.

"The Witch's Strange Paintings" 1-8

Author: Haruchi

Likes: ★★★☆

Short comment: An orphan girl was found to paint with blood and it would cause miracles, such as recovering the seriously ill, and making the lame person walk again, but after her paintings were stained with human desires, monsters came out and were seen by others. For the witch, before her death, she made a promise with Loki, the character in the first painting she painted, to burn her painting for her, so Loki has carried this promise for more than a hundred years...

The whole set consists of 8 episodes. The first few books have been talking about the protagonist dealing with monsters and disasters caused by strange paintings, but they did not arouse much interest in me. It was not until the last two episodes that the origin of the witch was introduced, and the ending saved the whole book.

"The latest detective is useless" 6-9

Author: Masanori Igarashi

Likes: ★★★

Short comment: I have watched episodes 1-5 before, and I will borrow it when I see new ones. I used to think it was a good comic, and I would like to know the follow-up development of the protagonist, but episodes 6-8 have always been a gag, the story is not exciting, the characters The relationship didn't make much progress either.

It's a bit interesting until the ninth episode. The last chapter "Bloody School" is interesting.

"Bread Thief"

Author: Shibata Keiko

Likes: ★★★☆

Short comment: Interesting and interesting picture book.

A thief likes to eat bread, so he steals a piece of bread every day. Recently, a bakery that claims to be the best in the world has appeared in the forest. Of course, he has to take a peek...

Originally thought to be a simple children's story, but there are some interesting twists, full of storytelling.

Adults and children should also enjoy watching.

"Bread Thief 2: Who Stole the Raisin Bread"

Author: Shibata Keiko

Likes: ★★★

Short comment: The content of the story is similar to the first episode, and there are no new ideas, so there is no need to watch it again.

"Fox School"

Author: Ryoko Imoto

Likes: ★★★

Short Comments: Teach children the proper use of mobile phones and the problem of mobile phone addiction.

A boy lost his mobile phone, and in the next version, he turned into a fox and was dragged to class. In the class, the teacher showed the human mobile phone, and the fox classmates discussed with each other what a mobile phone was...

It's a bit too straightforward and preaching, and there is no story at all.
