there are many, many of them! I legit really liked how Phantom was integrated into the overall plot though. However, I admit to bursting out laughing when Rasputin showed up.

I had mixed feelings about The Enchanted Lies of Céleste Artois by Ryan Graudin, but it was hilariously stuffed with references to every possible famous Belle Epoque-era Paris place/person/thing (The Eiffle Tower! Stohrer bakery! Coco Chanel! Jean Cocteau! The Phantom of the Opera!)

Women of Good Fortune by Sophie Wan is about a bride plotting to steal the gift money from her own high society wedding, and a good portion of it deals with them figuring out details like how to handle the surveillance systems etc. Part women's fiction, part heist.

it's so hard! I only managed bc my joints will now hurt if I don't stretch/work out/get enough movement. Best way I've found to build the habit is to find the shortest, easiest thing that you can consistently do for 2 weeks (for me that's short youtube videos I can follow along in my living room).

personally, massages help but they're expensive *sobs* unfortunately, all those ppl who say to stretch/do yoga for 10-15min a day were right, it does help a ton ;_;

My personal hack is getting Birkenstock insoles, cutting them down, and stuffing them into any flats/loafers/sneakers/boots that aren't supportive enough (sometimes ripping out the existing insole to make it fit). I don't think I will ever wear high heels again though.

*tired high five* unfortunately I hit this stage in my mid-twenties. No easy solutions, but I've found regular exercise, a standing desk, and an app that reminds you to take a break from the computer periodically (I use BreakTimer) all help a lot.

It scared me too! What helped was thinking that the worst you can really do is make your knife dull and you'll need to try and sharpen it again.

yesss a good kitchen knife that fits your hand perfectly is lifechanging! After I got my first full time job I splurged on a beautiful Japanese one that was the most expensive kitchen thing I'd ever bought at the time. No regrets.
