•Todas las hadas del reino• Era inevitable hacer este post, sobre este libro en específico, uno que pedí de regalo meramente por la portada🙈 Lo que me encontré dentro es lo que vengo a contar, porque este libro es un abrazo al corazón💖 Si no has tenido oportunidad de leer a Laura Gallegoooo. Hazlo! Hazlo ya! Esta mujer tiene una forma de escribir afectiva y adictiva, aunque haya partes de sus libros aburridas, te deja intrigado 🙋🏻‍♀️ Este libro es así! Al principio me pareció algo infantil, no lo voy a negar, pero mientras más avanzaba más me daba cuenta la profundidad de aquellos cuentos que conocemos desde niños y cómo los vemos ahora, ya más grandes. Amé las referencias a antiguos cuentos de fantasía y hadas, era como regresar en el tiempo, y la historia, pese a que es un libro bastante largo, es sencilla de leer. Te dejo la sinopsis…. “Camelia es un hada madrina que lleva trescientos años ayudando con gran eficacia a jóvenes doncellas y aspirantes a héroe para que alcancen sus propios finales felices. Su magia y su ingenio nunca le han fallado, pero todo empieza a complicarse cuando le encomiendan a Simón, un mozo de cuadra que necesita su ayuda desesperadamente. Camelia ha solucionado casos más difíciles; pero, por algún motivo, con Simón las cosas comienzan a torcerse de forma inexplicable…” Nota: 4/5⭐️ 🙌🏻🙌🏻 #booksreview #booksbooksbooks #bookstagram #booksilike #recomended #bookcharacter #fairytale #fairytail #fairylights #cuentosdehadas #booktropes https://www.instagram.com/p/CqbUcDKO4v8/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The book beautifully captures the transition from carefree childhood to the realization of life’s complexities.

Jeneva Rose has a Tik Tok. That’s where I first saw her, talking about drama that happened to her first, then to her books.  And that’s where I heard about Home is Where the Bodies Are. I had no idea what the story was about, but Jeneva Rose was a trip and I loved the title so I figured, why not and bought the book.  I was not expecting a story of lies and betrayal, of broken families and…

Book Review #1: In Order to Live

I had the wonderful opportunity to read "In Order to Survive" by Yeonmi Park. This book was so riveting, emotional, inspiring, and overall, an experience that I wish I could read all over the again. I don't want to give too much away because I genuinely believe that everyone should experience reading this book because it really shows the true meaning of survival and what it takes to survive. I found myself being more mindful and grateful of all small things that I used to neglect. For example, the water heater at the place I am staying had turned off, meaning cold showers. At first, I was bummed because taking cold showers during the coldest time of the year was not my ideal situation, but I found myself thinking back Yeonmi's story and how she went DAYS without even a single quick scrub and that instantly changed my mood around. I was still bummed of course, but I was grateful that at least I was able to shower despite the water being cold. It was that small instant where I could've made a big deal out of a small situation or turn over a new leaf and remind myself that there are so many people who don't have the luxury to simply take a shower whether it's cold or not. This book is beyond inspiring, and I recommend anyone and everyone to read this beautiful book.

» Resenha « "E o Vento Levou" by Margaret Mitchell. 4,5🌟 ⠀ ⠀ 🥀O que falar desse livro? Eu sempre fui apaixonada pelo filme e eu precisava ler o livro! E apenas constato que me apaixonei mais ainda por essa história. ⠀ ⠀ 🥀Margaret Mitchell conseguiu em um único livro abordar sobre a Guerra Civil Americana (e trata sobre a visão dos sulistas, algo que não costuma aparecer muito nas histórias); sobre a escravatura; sobre uma sociedade que na época era extremamente machista e o papel da mulher nela; e ainda tecer um romance no meio de tudo isso. ⠀ ⠀ 🥀Scarlett O’Hara é uma das minhas personagens femininas favoritas e, mesmo ficando com raiva dela por conta de seu fascínio por Ashley Wilkes, eu admiro o crescimento dessa personagem, sua força e coragem. ⠀ ⠀ 🥀Infelizmente eu emprestei esse livro na Biblioteca Pública e lá não tem o segundo volume, então terei que começar uma saga em procura desse livro nos sebos ou quem sabe livrarias, pois é um livro que eu gostei muito mesmo e quero fazer as minhas marcações de quotes. ⠀ 🥀Quem aqui já teve a oportunidade de ler o livro ou até mesmo ver o filme? O que acharam? Venham conversar comigo aqui nos comentários. ⠀ ⠀ P.S.: sim, o desenho fui eu que fiz.

أول تعارف بيني وبين الكاتب “علاء الديب” مع تلك الثلاثيّة المميزة.. عبارة عن حكاية لأسرة مصرية تجري أحداثها على لسان أصحابها في كل جزء الذي يعتبر رواية قصيرة، الأب يحكي في “ أطفال بلا دموع"، الأم في ” قمر على المستنقع"، والابن في “ عيون البنفسج”.. يأخذنا الكاتب داخل أعماق حكاية تلك الأسرة المفككة تحكي الشخصيات عن نفسها بداية من شكل الطفولة التي عاشوها وتأثيرها على مراحل حياتهم واختياراتهم، والاغتراب النفسي التي يعيشه كل منهم، الأسرة المصرية التي عاشت بعد النكسة في الستينات وانتقلت إلى إحدى دول الخليج حيث العمل وتحصيل المال، والتي عانت من تشويش الانتماء وافتقاد للهوية والتشتت الفكري وانهيار معان الاستقرار ..
الكاتب لغته رشيقة وناعمة يسير بنا بين التفاصيل ببساطة التعبير والسرد، حقيقية وصادقة وإن كانت تطفو عليها السوداوية والكآبة إلا أنها تجعلك تتذوق المرارة التي عاشها كل شخصية، وهواجس الوحدة والغربة.

[Tìm mình trong thế giới hậu tuổi thơ - Đặng Hoàng Giang]

#booksreview

"Now I start to see

That I am neither lacking nor complete

And I let the burden of ages,

Of generations softly down."

.

Tôi sẽ nói rằng tôi đã tìm ra cuốn sách muốn tặng bố mẹ mình, muốn tặng những người bạn xung quanh mình - những người mà tôi tin tôi thấy họ trong những câu chuyện của cuốn sách này. Tôi đã tìm ra cuốn sách đủ sức để gửi gắm một điều gì đó tới bất cứ người nhận nào.

Một cuốn sách tâm lý không giáo điều, được truyền tải sâu sắc chủ yếu bằng lời kể của nhân vật, tác giả chỉ như người đệm đàn, đưa vào những lời dẫn dắt, những xác chứng khoa học cần thiết để dẫn dắt nội dung câu chuyện. Và quan trọng nhất, cuốn sách này viết về những đứa trẻ Việt - tôi từng mê mẩn những cuốn đầy case studies của tác giả nước ngoài nhưng chúng quá xa l���, còn những câu chuyện này, chúng là tuổi thơ của chính tôi. Tôi tìm thấy mình ở đó.

.

Sách dành cho những đứa trẻ còn đang bơ vơ.

Sách dành cho những người lớn chưa thể thoát khỏi tuổi thơ của chính mình.

Sách dành cho những đứa trẻ mãi không thể lớn vì những nứt vỡ từ ấu thơ.

Sách dành cho những bậc cha mẹ.

Mà, với riêng tôi, cuốn sách này gần như một liệu pháp tâm lý. Tôi vẫn luôn tin rằng một cuốn sách đến với một người trong một thời điểm đều mang một ý nghĩa nào đó. Tôi gặp những vấn đề được để cập trong cuốn sách này, và bằng nhiều cách, ngày hôm nay tôi một phần thoát ra được khỏi chúng, nhưng có lẽ nếu là trước đây khi tôi chìm sâu trong chúng, cuốn sách này sẽ không giúp ích cho tôi, vì tôi sẽ không đủ tỉnh táo để đọc nó. Thời điểm này, tôi cần nó cho một hành trình tiếp theo đối diện với những vấn đề còn lại của chính mình.

.

Một cuốn sách đáng đọc, nếu bạn chỉ đọc một cuốn sách một năm!

Nơi em quay về có tôi đứng đợi - Ichikawa Takuji Bạn có tin vào phép màu không? Tựa như một cái rễ cắm sâu vào lòng đất như cảm giác hưng phấn và dư vị để lại khi ta dùng một món ăn yêu thích. Tình yêu luôn màu nhiệm và rực rỡ với bảng âm sắc của riêng mỗi người. Tôi tin. Tin vào phép màu và càng tin vào tình yêu của Satoshi và Yuko. Chúng ta không có quyền níu kéo thời gian, không được quyền thay đổi vận mệnh nhưng chúng ta có quyền được yêu thương, nhớ nhung, luyến tiếc, giữ trái tim trọn vẹn một người. Các tác phẩm của Ichikawa Takuji đều là những câu chuyện tình yêu đơn giản chỉ là ẩn sâu trong mỗi câu từ, qua từng hình ảnh cho đến khi kết thúc nó đều mang một nét rất riêng. Tôi nhớ về Yuko nghĩ về nàng từ một cô gái 23 tuổi bị thu nhỏ dần thành một đứa trẻ. Nhớ về Satoshi chàng trai ít nói luôn trước sau như một hết mực chăm lo cho vợ. Họ chấp nhận mọi chuyện bằng tình yêu vô ngàn cùng nhau tạo ra lấp đầy cơ thể tâm trí bằng kí ức về nhau những điều đẹp đẽ gọi là CHÚNG TA là GIA ĐÌNH. Nàng tan biến trong hơi ấm, chàng thức giấc trong hương thơm còn vươn cùng kỉ vật. Cuốn nhật kí với những trang ghi lại chiều cao, căn nặng và số đo khiến ta đau lòng cho đến những trang cuối là bí mật mà nàng đã cất giữ, một bí mật đầy phép màu. Chúng ta sẽ gặp lại nhau, Yuko sẽ xuất hiện ở khu rừng trong công viên tự nhiên, chúng ta rồi sẽ lại là một gia đình phải không!? Một cái kết mở cho chúng ta có thể mặc sắc tưởng tượng, cái kết khung cảnh của một chuyện tình tuyệt đẹp. Chiều với cơn gió lạnh dong chơi cùng mưa lớn, bạn có muốn một tách trà ấm cùng thưởng thức cuốn sách này... _ âm sắc mà mình thu thập được trong cuốn sách này là thanh âm của lá( đôi lúc lặng đôi lúc xào xạc như nỗi lòng nhân vật) và màu sắc của tinh tú( một thứ đẹp nhất nơi vũ trụ tựa như tình yêu vậy)- #books #nhanambooks #booksreview #bookstagramvn #1998Cam #noiemquayvecotoidungdoi #IchikawaTakuji #sachnhanam https://www.instagram.com/p/CDacAFMgm9O/?igshid=1rqd2o1d9ftd6

The Hate U Give- Book review

There are SPOILERS in the review so do consider it before reading! 

I found this book one afternoon after reading the news on CBS. I just thought I may need to do something. Signing petition, posting on social media, etc just didn’t feel ample for me. Therefore, I decided to educate myself by reading The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas. I read it to realize how aligning the book is with the current event going on with George Floyd’s death: Things have not been changing at all. That we’re still living under that predicament, that prejudice, and that “The Hate U Give” whether it’s police brutality or racism: The Black community is still living under that anguish. 

Angie Thomas did a really good job with portraying character Starr-- a juvenile, earnest, and intrepid lady. For me, Starr was a perfect fit as a central role for this book. All of her’s reaction from witnessing the deaths of her two best friends, seeing the oppression that her parents had to through, and the internal conflict that she endured was utterly reasonable. Thomas did not exaggerate Starr with an exceptional bravery or instantly stand up for her best friend who she witnessed his death. For Starr, it was a process of accumulating courage and that process sometimes could be too callous for a teenager like Starr.

Khalil’s death was the inception of how her two worlds--Williamson and Garden Heights-- started to crumble and blend into each other. Something that Starr always wished to remain distinctive. Starr went from a pure and innocent girl to realize the uneasiness when her two worlds begin to collide. She feels guilty to befriend with the rich kids at Williamson, ashamed of herself when dating a white boyfriend to the her lament stage she was experiencing whenever she sees Natasha and Khalil in her nightmares. All of the images just keep repeating in her heads like a tape that she couldn’t rewind. Starr begins to not only notice the clash between her and her boyfriend Chris but also the clash between the difference in her parents: Big Mav and Lisa. They both love their communities yet Lisa’s love for the community can’t replace her love for her kids. Unlike Big Mav, he upholds another ideal, an ideal to raise his kids become strong and remains faithful to their roots.  Therefore, the tension arises between them in term of settling in Garden Heights or moving to a safer place. Big Mav’s apprehension is not only the predicament to contribute Garden Height when he is far away from it but also his perturbation of losing his identity, losing his kids’s authenticity. He has already traded a part of Starr and Seven’s (Starr’s step brother) true selves when deciding to let them study at Williamson; he couldn’t back down this time to entirely eviscerate their identities. He desperately couldn’t. As the tension between Big Mav and Lisa goes on, which also embodies the internal conflict Starr faced at school with her friend: Hailey

Hailey is an epitome of the upper class who are unconsciously racist. Hailey herself is never aware of her xenophobia yet as no one has ever let her know. Not Starr, not Maya, and definitely not people at Williamson. Therefore, the tepid attitude of Hailey led her to proclaim that “chicken” comment on Starr and how she said Khalil will die eventually even if that police officer didn’t kill him. The fight between Hailey and Starr is that final push to the rupture bond in their friendship. I saw this as a tipping point for Starr to eventually escape from her safe shell and join the advocating group for Khalil’s  justice. Unlike the people at her school, they always talk about race when it suits their story, when it’s convenient for them. NOT WHEN IT MATTERS. Starr has realized how long she has been in her shelter, ashamed and fearful of how the world would react, how her life would be ventured on the brink of hazard if they knew she was the witness. Yet if Khalil was in her shoes, he’d never succumb and fight for her.

Starr’s fight for Khalil is her excursion of accumulating her own bravery. She joined the National TV interview even though she knows it’ll put her and her family in the eyes of the public as well as the King Lord gang. She accepts it. Starr also experiences hardship with the way she should view her uncle: Carlos. He’s another father to Starr when Maverick (Big Mav) was in jail. The push and pull string within Starr’s heart tells her that her uncle is a good person but she couldn’t cease herself from feeling irate, fearful towards the uncle whom she loves endearingly since she was child. Because he belongs to that system too. Because he’s a police too. She drowns herself in the fear if her uncle would pull a trigger and shoot just like the officer One- Fifteen did. She couldn’t help drawing the connection between uncle Carlos and the officer One- Fifteen who killed her best friend. The action of Starr joining the riot and standing up to speak her voice was the most powerful detail in the story. She wasn’t just Starr, she wasn’t just Black, or Khalil’s best friend. She was a life! An alive human being who deserves the rights to live. And so does Khalil and so does Natasha and so do many black lives who had died unjustly under the hands of police. This detail has pushed the story to its climax; all the outrage, the anguish, the voice are spoken and listened despite it was in tear gas and oppression of the police deployed by the government. The rampant hate, that “The Hate You Give Little Infants F*** Everybody” will be spoken today, tomorrow, and forever. That’s what Starr decided when she raised her voice and knows that her face will appear on national TV news. 

As long as we keep speaking our voice, as long as we keep fighting for the names that we have lost in the past, that we’re losing now, and we’re protecting in the future, it matters. Their lives matter, our lives matter, and BLACK LIVES MATTER.
