the book i have rated the lowest was 'the night guest' by Hildur Knútsdóttir & i rated it 3 stars. if you're looking for a quick, decent read it is a good book to pick up, i would actually read it again. as to why i rated it 3 stars, it just felt underwhelming, like more could've been done with it.

it is rare that i rate a book low as all the books i have read so far have been 4-5 star reads for me, but it would be fun to read other peoples answers & see what books people rated low!

it came to mind that i've never read a weird book about a woman with health anxiety/hypochondria & i was wondering if any even exist? it would be fun to read about a woman spiralling because of the same condition i have

just for some context i live with my mum & years ago she adopted 2 boys when she got with my step dad & they have been living with us for years, i also have a biological brother who is a few years older than me.

i just found this subreddit 5 minutes ago & wanted to make a post because i have just had to go into the toilet with my bare hands & throw away loads of toilet paper (this hasn't been the first time i have done this) because the toilet got clogged & i honestly don't know how much more i can take of this household. this has been an ongoing issue for ages along with other things that i view as weaponised incompetence. if its not a gallon of toilet paper in the toilet, its me having to walk into the bathroom & there's used towels on the floor instead of being on the rack or thrown out when they are clearly dirty, if its not that then it's having to see a glob of toothpaste on the sink as if someones purposely squeezed it out & placed it there. there has been other cases in the past which where way worse (when i used to find actual shit on the toilet seat after my step brothers were done using it) & there have been many times where i have addressed it to my mum, when really it shouldn't even be my mums problem as they aren't actually her kids & my step dad should deal with it himself. i have thoughts that they are doing it on purpose, for what reason i do not know, or maybe they really just can't clean up after themselves & expect other people to do it for them, but that doesn't really explain the amount of toilet paper that i see in the toilet & the glob of toothpaste that i'm constantly seeing in the sink, hence why i think it's on purpose. my brothers are old enough & capable enough of knowing how to clean up after themselves & don't need to be supervised when they go to the toilet but my evidence makes me question it.

i believe that if this continues i will do something stupid which i do not want to do, but this behaviour is starting to take a toll on me & something is not being done about it.
