February 2025 Book #5

I really enjoyed this book but I understand is not for everyone because is slow, maybe story was dragged a little bit and some convenient actions present that helped that ending. I usually don‘t like or enjoy stories about addictions, maybe too close to work, but there was something in the writing style that I loved, how author described the characters, that self talking, reflection, so deep, so many wonderful quotes⬇️

Gissy (Cont.) It is a depressed, sad story but with hope. A drama but it was deep and beautiful written. I did care for Cyrus and that fríendship/romance was just beautiful. I will like to try another book by this author. This book really worked for me 4/4.5⭐️

February 2025 Book #5

This is a collection of short stories, powerful ones in terms of topics. First book I read by this author and looking forward to read more books by her. However, my experience with short story collections is that I like some more that the others and this is not an exception. Also, some stories I saw them more narrative, informative than a short story per se. It was the same experience I had with In A Dream Hoyse ⬇️

Gissy (Cont.) by Carmen Maria Machado. That one is not a short story collection but sometimes I saw also the story as one informative, giving statics or facts that disconnect the idea, the flow, the line, premise of the book. That was my experience with both readings. But I really liked this book and the message. 3.5⭐️ 1w

Practically every morning there‘s a bird argument outside my bathroom window & I wonder what they are saying…

Outside My Bathroom Window

A Common Mynah

January 2025 Book #10
I know this one didn‘t work for everyone but it worked for me. I liked the idea of a novel within a novel. The drama in the novel aunt Addie wrote was so silly, maybe too long but I lol. It was like watching the movie Clue but without a murder. When you thought you had the answer another ridiculous situation appeared. It was fun but the ending also has nostalgic, sad moments for aunt Addie. I like these covers😍 3⭐️

The Giver | Lois Lowry

I remember this series on PBS. 2018 seems like a lifetime ago! Final score was 42/100, and yes I‘m counting the whole series no matter how many books I read! These, however, are whole series I read.
1. The Giver
2. Lord of the Rings
3. Harry Potter
4. Hunger Games
5. Hitchhiker‘s Guide to the Galaxy
