~ The little wartime library ~

Hi! So, the first book I read this year, was The little wartime library by Kate Thompson, I enjoyed this book a lot, so here I leave my review, hope you like it!📚💫

I must say that it's one of those books you can't stop reading until you finish it.

Based on true events, it tells the story of the little underground library in Bethnal Green—a library that, as the book narrates, helped many people escape the harsh reality of World War II.

It not only talks about this small underground library but also introduces its two main characters, two women, Ruby Munroe and Clara Button—best friends with their own individual stories, yet sharing a common passion for the library and all it represents.

Throughout the book, we learn about our protagonists' stories and the situation of women during that time. Despite everything, they forge ahead, supporting each other and facing the adversities of the era.

Highly recommended reading!

REVIEW : HELLO FOREVER by @sarina.bowen

👬First of all.... MUAHAHAHA I was over the moon happy to read about Josh and Caleb's special appearance and there beautiful life after GOODBYE PARADISE. 🙂😊

Okay!! Now Axel and Cax : my God these guys had such a cute insta-connection so tender relationship. It was like they were made for each other I mean come on they both have have X in there names so defs they are forever couples and Sarina is brilliant for having this idea.

Caxel.. Fit together so perfectly I completely loved them, they were likeable characters, I felt for them. And the dirty talking and sex was HAAAAAAWWWWWWWT. 🔥🤤🥵

Hello forever was really fast paced, easy read. Jason was a fascinating character hope there is a book about him.

The message which I received from this book is : You just have to be yourself, whatever you are be you and be with people who love and deserve you. 😘✨

@sarina.bowen u can do no wrong....this is her fourth book I have read and she never ever fails to amuse me, I'm in awe. thank you Miss Sarina thank you .

Best book for every MM fans. 📚🩵

Finding truth beneath the lies (C.C Masters) - MY REVIEW

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This book series is genuinely one of my favourites❤️

Recently i’ve been really stressed because of school but this book provided just what i needed!!

I’m really enjoying the world building and relationships with the boys. It’s such a shame what happened to Talen, I hope he comes back :( Gemma was horrible from the start, i’m so sad the boys didn’t see it.

I overall really love this series! The writer is so amazing and I will be continuing this series <3

Reading H.P. Lovecraft's tales

It's quite upsetting how Lovecraft is a little too much racist in his works. The descriptions of the rituals always got to involve black or indigenous aspects and he calls them diabolic. I'm currently reading 'Dunwich Horror' and its constant associations of the main character - described as dark-skinned - to animals like goats is one of the most disgusting things in this piece. Even so, the entire plot is very intriguing and meets Cthullhu's Universe. Anyways, I'm open to discussion, I love to talk about whatever I'm reading 'cause helps me to remember it.

TSOA reviews amuse me. Like there’s one saying that the writing is beautiful, sincere, and they are emotionaly wrecked by the tragedy of this love story. And right next to it one says that it is the worst book they’ve read, nothing like the source material and overall cringy and emotionless. Which for some reason makes me chuckle.

I didn’t like it. The author did a horrible job of putting this story in order. It jump all around a timeline from when Dasani was a pre teen to an adult. All the adults in the story pissed me off except like 3, they failed those kids horribly.

Reseña Concilio de Sombras

Tenía pendiente esta trilogía desde hace muchísimo tiempo, la empecé ni más ni menos que en septiembre de 2021 y ahí se quedó. No porque no me gustase la historia, es de hecho una de mis sagas favoritas de V.E. Schwab, sino porque fui leyendo otros libros, me embarqué en nuevas sagas que tampoco cerré porque empecé otras sagas y en fin entré en ese círculo vicioso. Pero este año me he propuesto cerrar algunas y que mejor que hacerlo con una cuya primera parte me gustó mucho.

Tardé un poco en entrar en el libro porque había pasado mucho tiempo desde que leí el primero, pero me resultó grato ver que me acordaba de prácticamente todo. El principio se me hizo un poco lento, pero no me aburrí en ningún momento y fue un placer volver a ver a los personajes que tanto me gustaban. Y es que, una de las mejores cualidades de Schwab es que todos sus personajes, incluso los que son «buenos», se mueven siempre en una tonalidad gris, no son ni realmente buenos ni malvados. También me alegró saber más de ciertos personajes como Rhy y también conocer a personajes nuevos como Alucard Emery.

Quizás la trama es mucho más relajada y con menos acción que el primer libro, la autora se toma su tiempo durante la primera mitad del libro para luego acabar en los últimos capítulos con una acción trepidante y un final que te deja con ganas de echarle el guante al tercero (menos mal que cuando decidí empezar esta trilogía ya estaban todos los libros publicados que si no la espera me habría matado). Si esperas con ganas el torneo de magia, puedes esperar sentado porque tardan bastante en llegar. Y con todo, no sé por qué, me ha gustado un poco más del primero.

Estoy deseando leer la conclusión de esta trilogía.

Love on the brain by Ali Hazelwood is the second book I had read by the author. I was keen to read this romcom, so I try to read this one in English and It was a success. And this is the reason for this review is writing in English. (Sorry for this, I need to practice)

What it is about? Bee Königswasser is a neuroscientist, one of the leading scientists in his field. Her life changes when NASA offered her the lead on a neuroengineering project. In her new job, she meets up again with Levi, an old university acquaintance. He hates her. Bee is sure. Thus began an odd collaboration marked by fainting, weird things begin to occur, sex attraction, a cat and misunderstanding. A funny romcom with a little mystery.

I like Love on the brain more than The Love Hypothesis. I love de last one, but Bee and her obsession with Marie Curie is so interesting. Hazelwood offers us a story with many possibilities and more than one reading. Some of the topics are: mental health, academic world, personal fears, non-traditional family, the uncertain future or grieving process. The comedy is a chaotic destiny of love. The situations mixed the severity of this issues with great dialogues, irreverent situations —stories of Marie Curie, cats, amazing dresses, conferences, one room...

This novel is addictive, funny and the main characters are so sweet. I love the relationship. Bee and Levi have chemical. They past and present have a complicated story. The author resolved the plot with introspection, daringness and science. It’s a great combination. I want to read he next novel!

Review : The Idea of You by @robinnelee

FAN-FUCKING-TASTIC 😎😍

Ohhh Myyyyyyyy The Idea Of You is a delicious, exotic, glamorous, passionate and heart breaker of a book .

The ending took my breath 🤯🤯away I did not expect it all. Definitely I'm still hungover about the ending. I don't agree with the ending at all no way 😮😮😮😮🤐

But I hope there is a sequel somewhere in the future. @robinnelee take how much time ever you need but do give us more solene and Hayes, will always be waiting but we totes need the sequel.

Can't wait to watch Nicholas Galitzine and Anne Hathaway rock these two angels on the big screen.

Recommended read 📖 - this book is just perfection!!🍁🍂🩷🩶🤍🩵.

Ensaios | George Orwell

-> Facism & Democracy

🧠 "não"-Ficção Inglesa, Contos

📖 TESTE

⚫️ Editora: Pé da Letra

A visão de Orwell é de poucas palavras

É um livro de contos, mas devia chamar de "Contos e Ensaios". Nele fala sobre o f4c1sm0 e a Democr4acia, que nem mesmo o Orwell conseguia explicar com muitas palavras, mas ele conseguiu explicar muito bem em poucas palavras como é a realidade que todas as pessoas distorcem, o problema não é os dois lados da moeda, mas sim as pessoas que distorcem a ideologia de cada membro de alguns grupos ideológicos, isso que Orwell decidiu compartilhar o seu conhecimento junto de Aldous Huxley, aquele autor que se inspirou em 1984 (que segundo algumas das minhas pesquisas, era professor dele, se eu tiver errada, me corrijam).

Em alguns dos seus contos, ele cita bastante o Arthur Kroeztler e H.G Wells, ambos jornalistas, contando sobre a época, falando a realidade do que acontecia. Se for interpretar e entender bastante, dá para perceber que tem referência ou cenário de 1984, A Fazenda dos Bichos, A Flor da Inglaterra ou O Sistema Mantém, por causa das livrarias e locais de convivência que tiveram. Em resumo, referências.

First book finished in 2023 !!

I finished my first book of the year yet in January. Some thoughts of mine: it's been years - I'm not kidding - since the last time I completed a book, it's insane how much lack of interest has been surrounding me till then.

And before everything, I'm also trying to train my English writing skills.

The Great Gatsby (O Grande Gatsby)

I read the version translated into Portuguese. Also in the ebook.

My opinion:

I love how poetic the descriptions are, just in the beginning, when I was more interested in the story, I marked this: "É um vale de cinzas - uma fazenda fantástica em que as cinzas crescem como o trigo em sulcos, colinas e jardins grotescos; onde as cinzas assumem a forma de casas, chaminés e fumaça espiralando e, por fim, em um esforço transcendental, tomam forma de homens cinzentos que se movem vagamente e se esfacelam no ar pulverento". This excerpt is about Nick's description of what train passengers see on the way between New York and Long Island, the Valley of Ashes. One of the most difficult things for me while reading a foreign book is to visualize the places, but after comeback sometimes to understand this part, I deeply feel what Fitzgerald wanted to pass. It's beautiful, it's decadent.

I got a little discouraged. I knew it was a very classic book on North American Literature but during some parts, especially the party ones, I feel like watching some cliché romance novel. Otherwise, when I finally came to the climax to the end of it, I started to understand the necessity of all that worldly luxury.

So for that reason above, I left my advice: Be a little more engaged in the historical context before diving into The Great Gatsby. For sure, if I had done some more research about New York in the 20s and overall about the decade, stuff like the alcohol prohibition, and the Roaring Twenties, probably my understatement of the book would be much more fluid. My fault.

I guess it's all, I hope someone finds it interesting. To me, it's a five stars book.

Reading a book ;

a home I can always run to when I am tired of all the world's foolishness, my escape and quiet space in the midst of chaos, my hiding place in this world of sorrow.
