"She has never believed herself fit to be loved by any person. But now she has a new life, of which this is the first moment, and even after many years have passed she will still think: Yes, that was it, the beginning of my life."

"When you can sing like that with someone, there’s a small part of you that feels connected to them. That sort of thing that gets under your skin and doesn’t easily come out."

In those moments he wished, perversely, that he had never met her, that it was surely worse to have had her for so brief a period than to never have had her at all.

We are all exceptional cases. We all want to appeal against something! Each of us insists on being innocent at all cost, even if he has to accuse the whole human race and heaven itself.

⚠️POSSIBLE SPOILER TO EoS⚠️
FENRYS CAN WINOOW!!!
“Tell me how your magic works—how you can leap between places like that.” A clever, easy way to keep him focused elsewhere.
Aedion scanned the deck, making sure he wasn’t needed, and then carefully sopped up the blood and poison leaking from Fenrys’s chest. It had to hurt like hell. The insistent throbbing in his leg was likely nothing by comparison.
“No one knows where it comes from—what it is,” Fenrys said between shallow breaths, fingers curling and uncurling at his sides. “But it lets me slip between folds in the world. Only short distances, and only a few times before I’m drained, but … it’s useful on a killing field.”
Chapter 47 in EoS

Resenha | As aventuras subjetivas de Björk. Nota: 10/10. O livro questiona por diversas vezes a função do pop seria a de mostrar os meios para responsabilização de nossas subjetividades perante agressões e excessos emocionais. É excelente para quem é fã! Mostra as Intenções de cada música e o processo de cada álbum. Divide-se em duas partes, com excelentes fotos conceituais de uma pequena Björk (por Adriana Peliano) inspirada em Vespertine. Músicas em formas de poesias e a editoração é incrível com papéis e cores especiais impressos. “Escolhi trabalhar com fotografias de duas bonecas – uma bebê reborn – hiperrealista. A boneca trás a historia da brincadeira de menina de se experimentar em outras, corpos que agente abraça, amassa, despedaça, jogo de encantamentos e afetos. Mas o bebê é também esse estado de abertura para o mundo, pleno de potencialidades.” O projeto, de Mauricio Chaves, começou como uma dissertação de mestrado em 2003, mas publicada em 2013. É um projeto não apenas sobre a cantora/ artista Björk. Tem como característica imortalizar e reconhecer o lado freak da cantora conceitual como ponto chave para mudanças no cenário contemporâneo e sua desconstrução do básico para o techno atemporal a seu favor. Sempre à frente de seu tempo! O autor cita algumas cantoras do reinado pop, porém destaca ao longo da narrativa como Björk, não é criada para qualquer um entendê-la. Nos anos 80 surge Madonna, que apesar do feminismo usa-se certa sexualização como outras, mas a cantora sueca manteve-se original, sem nudismo sexualizado. Convenhamos, que Björk também não deseja que entendam seu jeito, mas sua arte. É sobre abraçar sua estranheza ao ponto de dividir opiniões por não ser padrão em nenhum sentido e influenciar pessoas por ser fiel a você mesmo! #leituradodia #literaclassica #madalla #igliterario #bjork #resenhaliteraria #booksreader #clubedolivro #leitores #biografiainstagram #bookstagram (at Águas Claras) https://www.instagram.com/p/CeliEXegCGh/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

"Charlie, don't you get it? I can't feel that. It's sweet and everything, but it's like you're not even there sometimes. It's great that you can listen and be a shoulder to someone, but what about when someone doesn't need a shoulder. What if they need the arms or something like that? You can't just sit there and put everybody's lives ahead of yours and think that counts as love. You just can't. You have to do things."
—Steven Chbosky, "The Perks Of Being a Wallflower"

“Ti spaventa essere così desiderata? Sapere che io ti voglio, indipendentemente dal tempo o dalla distanza? Ti fa paura la consapevolezza che io voglio che tu sia mia, che voglio possederti integralmente e senza il minimo tentennamento?”

Why is it so hard to forget people?
Because they are not only present in the grand gestures but are engraved in our little moments. That is why I won't be able to forget him because whenever I will see a pineapple, i will remember he used to call me that and i hated it. He will be unable to forget me when he will see a muffin somewhere and remember i used to call him muffin and eventhough he hates muffins more than fries he still loved it when i called him muffin.
He will remember me when he will doze off while trying to read a book and remember how I told him that I'll read to him forcefully. While trying to forget him i will remember him everytime I get a nightmare and remember how he told me I'll always be safe until I'm in his arms.
My every birthday will remind me of him because there will be no birthday letters now at sharp 12. His every coming birthday will remind him of me because he'll get no emo birthday letters which will make him cry, but maybe he'll still cry.

Gracias @librosascen 🧡 ・・・ @manuelmartinferreras @harpercollinsiberica @cludelecturall Si queréis pasarlo en grande con una novela de detectives, aventuras y misterio no podéis dejar de  leer este libro #elgrandetectivebyronmitchel Empiezo recomendando porque ya imaginareis que me ha gustado, es muy visual, y nos lleva a la Barcelona de 1901, en la que parece otro personaje más, pues la ambientación a mi parecer es genial. Creo que es un homenaje a grandes personajes de la literatura clásica, @manuelmartinferreras me hace disfrutar muchísimo de la lectura y sobretodo consigue que no la deje hasta terminarla porque todas mis teorías sobre quien era el asesino no se han cumplido, con lo cual leerla para descubrirlo o descubrirla. #librosascen #bookstagramer  #novelahistorica #novelaficcion #NovelaNegra #57a #novelaromantica #librosquehayqueleer  #booksreader #bookcommuntiy #mestizo  #booklover #bibliotecas #gooddreams #Instagram #loverbook #wattpadcrush #tbrlist #leeresvivir #bookshelf #bookblogger  #EncuentrosZoom #LocuraDeLibros #EncuentrosZoomClubDeLecturaLL #ClubDeLectura #ClubDeLecturaLL #EncuentrosConEscritores #EncuentrosConEscritoresLL El encuentro completo está disponible en nuestro canal de YouTube https://www.youtube.com/c/LocuradelibrosPepaMuñoz (en Club de Lectura LL) https://www.instagram.com/p/CkQCzYxjOsY/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Well here’s a pic of Natalie Portman reading Vladimir and I’m still not over the disappointment I had with this book. So here’s my review :
2.5/5
A slow-paced , character-driven, almost erotic debut novel filled with beautiful lines and writing , that failed tremendously at impressing me .
"Vladimir "began as an introduction of the Russian-American eccentric-young novelist , related by the main character , a middle-aged woman whose name we never obtain. She’s conflicted between the loss of novelty and her youth . She vehemently yearns for consistency , for something new , while being trapped in a marriage where love simply doesn’t reside anymore .
Her husband, John, is being investigated for his illicit and " abusive" relationships with his female students . Regardless of the constant cheating and the main character's being in complete awareness of the situation and allegations, she finds it releasing , claiming that John's freedom gave her her own personal freedom. Thus, she does not find his actions unscrupulous or sickening, but rather liberating; a game „full of power „ . The main character empathizes with the "victims," though she does not consider the students her husband slept with, as victims
"Yes, he had more power , but I imagined that made it fun . He could bless them with his approval, and what’s more arousing than that?  "
Perhaps she saw some hidden and old parts of herself in those young women.
“When I was a child , I loved old men ,and I could tell that they also loved me. "
She is deeply insecure. Though it is not directly shown , she envies Vladimir's wife profoundly, Cynthia .For being a great writer , for her youth, maybe , for her charisma and sex appeal . But this novel is neither about John's victims , about relationships between students and teachers , old men nor about Vladimir ,Despite the book being named after him, he’s merely a subplot , a secondary character, and he remains a subtle mystery for the majority of the story . Her Claims of her Obsession With This ‘enigmatic ‘ character does not really play out thus she’s in love with the idea of him not him as a whole , as a person .
This novel was about the imprisonment of being a woman in her 50s , of not knowing what you actually desire , of being trapped in a marriage , of caring too much , and of longing for lust . She never bothered about the affairs until it affected her and her professional career as a professor . The victims and relationships were hardly spoken about , hardly addressed, something that I completely loathed .
 
Regardless of the high expectations I set for this book and the disappointment I encountered, I found Julia May Jonas's writing quite amusing and somewhat sublime . It reminded me deeply of Ottessa Moshfegh's writing; witty with deep quotes , but lacking a plot and simply no remarkable events happening throughout the book
I’ll be looking forward for her next books though!
