#Aprella or maybe now #Baychella 🙌🏻🎵Did ya‘ll see the Queen‘s performance!?! OMG⚔️ I feel bad for all the other artists that have to follow that....Back to Declan McKenna 🎤I read both of these books by Paulo Coelho from #Brazil who‘s highly regarded as a national treasure🙄Ummm, I‘m sorry but I‘m missing something! Both books seemed contrived,poorly written and almost juvenile. I can‘t express why, but books seriously pissed me off! #RipOff

By the River Piedra I Sat Down and WeptMdargusch I have not been motivated to read any of his books. Maybe he‘s a national treasure because they don‘t have many authors on the bestseller list? 🤔 7y
Cinfhen Idk because I‘m seeing so many good titles today!!!! 7y
Lindy When a book pisses me off it‘s usually a signal that the author‘s core beliefs are at odds with mine. In the case of Coelho, I remember loving The Alchemist at age 14 and then hating it when I reread it as an adult. I could see through his bullshit as an adult, I guess. 😉 7y
Cinfhen Thanks @Lindy that actually makes sense to me...I think you‘re 💯right‼️ 7y
TheCuriousHousecat Agree. I‘ve read both of these and neither were much as far as I was concerned. 6y
Cinfhen I think Coelho is a hit or miss author @TheCuriousHousecat - As a reader, he doesn‘t work for me! 6y
