Review: I'm Not Lazy, I'm on Energy Saving Mode by Dancing Snail

4 stars for I'm Not Lazy, I'm on Energy Saving Mode by Dancing Snail.

This is not your usual wordy narrative kind of non fiction but it is not exactly a picture book either. This book is more like a picture diary where the author adds a few lines here and there as captions to her illustrations.

A practical book that expresses deep thoughts and feelings which we usually keep to our own selves for fear of being judged by others.

Easy to read and to relate to.

*** Favourite Quote 1 ***

It's important to understand how to separate the good that people have done for us in the past from the negative influence they are having on us in the present. Just because someone once made sacrifices for us, doesn't give them the right to hurt us now. If they truly value us, they won't make us hate ourselves.

*** Favourite Quote 2 ***

Isn't it great that no matter where we are, we only need to close our eyes, and we can daydream for free?
