Oliver Marks has just been released from prison, and is finally ready to tell Detective Colborne what really happened when his classmate was killed ten years ago. As young actors at an elite conservatory, Oliver and his classmates played the same roles – villain, hero, temptress – over and over again, both off stage and onstage. But when the casting changes, good-natured rivalry turns ugly, and the plays spill dangerously over into real life. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I had seen If We Were Villains by @sureasmel around but I didn’t read it until my friend @judithbleeker recommended and lent it to me. It’s not the type of book I read (anymore) and it was very stressful at times, but I was pulled in by the promise of Shakespearian theatre and very soon I was completely hooked. 📚 What struck me most was the emotional complexity of these characters. Difficult backgrounds, trauma, insecurity and forced vulnerability, set in this tiny, isolated, cult-like academic world, then add the strong emotions of the Shakespearian stage and you have fireworks. The way tension builds and ebbs away (but never completely) only to return stronger is masterfully done. 📚 I love how Shakespeare is interwoven in the story, more than just a few references, it’s the very fabric this world is built out of, and underscores some of the characters’ most pivotal moments. They really live Shakespeare. Someday I plan to reread this book again in conjunction with all those plays. Though you genuinely don’t need to to understand and enjoy the book, but it does give the story that much more depth. 📚 A very well crafted book that you should definitely check out if you either like Shakespeare or murder mystery/thriller stories. 📚 (Content warnings below, may contain spoilers) . . . . . . . .

Hola a todos!!! Hoy les traigo el libro que leímos en el grupo de romance de @nuestrorinconliterario "Las des ventajas de ser virgen" de Cameron Lund, muchas gracias @habledelibros por el ejemplar. Keely tiene dieciocho años, vive en una pequeña ciudad y va al instituto con el mismo grupo de personas desde la guardería. Cuando una de sus amigas, la popular Danielle, pierde la virginidad en su fiesta de cumpleaños, Keely piensa que es la única virgen de la clase y esto empieza a preocuparla. Entonces, un joven universitario increíblemente atractivo empieza a interesarse por ella. Pero ¿qué pasará cuando se entere de que nunca «lo ha hecho»? Para que es no ocurra, Keely traza un plan casi perfecto: pedirle ayuda a Andrew, su mejor amigo, quien puede enseñarle algunos truquillos y prepararla para el gran momento. El plan funcionará mientras sean, por supuesto, amigos, solo amigos. Aunque lo que Keely no sabe es que los planes, a veces, no salen como una espera. La gente siempre dice: «Espera a estar preparada». Pero ¿cómo sabes cuándo lo estás? Si acostarte con alguien significa exponerte a un corazón roto, al ridículo o al dolor, no sé si estaré preparada algún día. Opinión Suelo leer muchos libros con el cliché friends lovers, los disfruto de principio a fin, pero en este caso siento que no fue una historia para mí. Tal vez como esta encantada la dinámica de los personajes o como se desarrolló el conflicto, pero realmente no me atrapó. Deseaba tanto que me llegue la historia que tal vez tenía demasiadas expectativas. Seguramente soy de la minoría que piensa esto del libro, pero si estas leyendo mi opinión y tenes algo positivo para decirme me gustaría leerte para poder comprender tu punto. Espero que se entienda y seamos libres de opinar!!!!! #yareads #bookshelf #readabook #bookishphoto #readersquad #readinglife #bookishfeed #igreader #readingaddict #bookstacks #stackofbooks #readerofinstagram #bookstagramming #bookslover #instabooks #igbooks #yabooks #bookshark #booksuponbooks #bookishcommunity https://www.instagram.com/p/Cn79PGXubNi/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Mara Dyer believes life can't get any stranger than waking up in a hospital with no memory of how she got there. It can. She believes there must be more to the accident she can't remember that killed her friends and left her strangely unharmed. There is. She doesn't believe that after everything she's been through, she can fall in love. She's wrong. ❓️: If you can read books from only one genre for the rest of your lives, what genre would it be? AOTD: I would have to say Fantasy. It's engaging and can be spun so many different ways. #bookworm #bookish #bookblogger #amreading #bookgram #instareads #bookishlove #readmorebooks #bookstagrammers #bookcollector #readinglife #bookwormproblems #bookobsessed #bedtimereading #readerforlife #bookshark #bookpicture #bookishphoto #bookreviewer #booksaremagic #bookblog #goodreads #bookster #bookishproblems #bookstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/Ck_tFf-va3f/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

✨Current Read✨ . The first Sally Rooney book I ever read was Normal people. It was the first time I saw a @jackbenedwards youtube video and since then I decided that I would consume ANYTHING Jack told me to. (It’s been a good rule) This week I started reading Conversations with friends and I’m even though I’m only a few chapters in, Rooney’s character (as always) got me already hooked. . #sallyrooney #conversationswithfriends #instablogger #literature #bookstagrammer #booklove #tbr #bookcommunity #bookoftheday #booktography #readersofig #bookreader #bookreviews #bookpassion #booksaremylife #readathon #booksharks #booksphotography #bookgrammer #readersofinstagram #bookreviewblog #ilovebooks #bookworm #purewowbookclub #epicreads #readersgonnaread #bookstore (at Madrid, Spain) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cl8XTyxNICc/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Hola a todos!!! Recomendación para el arbolito. Para los amantes de la historia. ALFONSO X, Esplendores y sombras del Rey Sabio. Una investigación de @arielsevillaok y @fabiansevillateatro publicado por @editorialelateneo A quién se lo regalarias? Sinopsis Hablas castellano ? Te gusta mirar las estrellas o jugar al ajedrez? Disfrutar la musica? Alfonso el Sabio (1221 - 1284)tuvo mucho que ver con todo ello. Este rey español tan magnífico como polémico promovió las ciencias y las artes, desde la historia y la poesía hasta la astrología y la alquimia, pasando por los juegos de tactica y de azar. En una Edad Media atravesada por las guerras y las persecuciones religiosas, su corte cristiana albergaba a judíos y musulmanes. Sin embargo, algunos súbditos lo consideraban un gobernante incompetente y loco. La nobleza se rebeló, y su propia familia intrigo contra él, tanto su esposa despechada por las infidelidades amorosas, como el hijo que anhelaba arrebatarle el poder. Una apasionante biografía de quien forjó su destino como rey y como hombre. #bookshark #bookstagramming #readersquad #readerofinstagram #igreader #bookishcommunity #bookishphoto #bookishfeed #yareads #yabooks #instabooks #igbooks #bookstacks #stackofbooks #booksuponbooks #readabook #readinglife #readingaddict #bookshelf #bookslover #bookspine #booksforlife https://www.instagram.com/p/CmZTH_Vuv7d/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
