āLove is the longing for the half of ourselves we have lost.ā ā Milan Kundera, The Unbearable Lightness of Being Ramadan Mubarak! Do you like books based on fairies or faes? Any recommendation? The Land of the Young by Will Robinson is a fast paced novel that has light themes. I love the character development and the plot is quite simple. It's just a simple book that you'll be able to read in one sitting. Do check it out if you love light themes.

Hello everyone! This week I am having a small celebration for my 100 followers objective and I have decided to post a small update regarding my future plans for my bookstagram. I am testing different photo presets and shooting style and In the future I will probably change it once in a while as I love taking photos and trying new things. š A Little Life will also be one of the books I will read in March as soon as I finish rereading ACOTR and I will be back to the series ASAP as I have set my goal to reread all SJM series (I know, crazy). After a few tests I have decided to stay with this style and see where it goes. You can also see my little assistant in the last one. š¤ I hope you have a wonderful week filled with happiness and only 3 digits numbers of pages read. š . . . . . . . . . . . . #cloudwrites #bookstagrammer #bookstagram #alittlelife #bookstagramer #newbookstagram #readersgonnaread #bookishmail #bookinstagram #coffeeandbooks #booklovers #bookreviewer #booknerds #readingtimeš #š #bookphoto #bookaddicts #bookpost #tbrpile #justread #bookishphotography #whattoreadnext #readallday #bookworms #booksofinstagram #bookwormproblems #bookaholic #bookpic #newreads #booknerd (at Bookstagram) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpfS47XodTn/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

āA āstrangeā child, anyway, dimly and fearfully apprehends that the years are not likely to make him less strangeā āThe children of the despised and rejected are menaced from the moment they stir in the womb, and are therefore sacred in a way that the children of the saved are notā For this review, I want to make it clear that I couldnāt finish this book. James Baldwin is one of my favorite black writers, but this essay narrative didnāt retain my interest. In the beginning, Baldwin briefly describes his home life which intrigued me-how his father deemed him the ugliest boy in the world, how he was introduced to literature and cinema by a caring white schoolteacher named Bill Miller (a woman). I enjoyed reading how earlier of an age he was exposed to literature and cinema, even wrestling with the question of what it meant to be black. Baldwin references novels (āA Tale Of Two Citiesā and āUncle Tomās Cabinā as well as dated movies that I couldnāt follow. It could be because I havenāt watched or read any of his mentioned literature pieces, for he provided specific examples of people (Madam Defarge) and even tying in specific scenes to his own horrific images- āI did not really know who these people were, or why they were in the streetsā¦.a white mob can be in no way reassuring to a black black boy (even though, or if, he cannot say whyā This isnāt my favorite book of his for I couldnāt get twenty pages of it, but the brief bits still were potent to me. #bookreview #bookrecommendation #bookreviewer #bookreviewing #bookish #bookishpost #bookishlife #bookishcommunity #bookishglee #mybookfeatures #readersgonnaread #readingcommunity #readingaddict #readingislife #readingtimeš #readerlife https://www.instagram.com/p/CoaKXg6LfHD/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

2023 Reading Challenge
This year I want to read 100 books! I never have time to read, between my work commitments, my run training, my ghost-writing, my personal writing and my house-keeping, but this year Iām finding the minutes in between commitments to burrow into a story.
My friend asked me in rereads count.
I count everything. Reading is for experiencing worlds inside your head. It doesnāt matter if youāve been there before.
This year I plan to reread The Six of Crows, Harry Potter and Percy Jackson. Iām reading a lot of heavy novels like ķģ¹ģ½ and In Cold Blood, so itās nice to go somewhere familiar in between.
Besides, the reading challenge is for me. I set my own rules for it. Iām reading what I want whenever I can.

š¤Hello friends! š¤ I read this beauty a couple of days ago and I am so in love with the Brown Sisters! š they are so raw and real! (SPOILERS FROM HERE) In the first book, I really resonated with Eve because of her chronic pain. I also suffer from chronic pain and it actually felt really nice to see that portrayed in a character! In this book, though I felt a stronger connection with Zaf. His struggles with his family's death and trying to respect Daniās wishes about it not becoming a full-blown relationship! He is such a sweetheart š But this book was so good! I honestly loved it, it had that feeling of frustration like āJUST SAY THAT YOU LOVE EACH OTHER GOD DAMMIT!ā š© And that epilogue? So much cutenessš„ŗ HASHTAGS #ig #igbooks #bookstagram #booktok #bookstagrammer #booklover #booklr #booklrcommunity #bookishbuddyread #readingtimeš #review #bookreview #takeahintdanibrown #brownsisters #brownsistersseries #loveislove #lgbtpride (at Odense, Denmark) https://www.instagram.com/p/CfORd-prASJ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

š La fattoria dei serpenti. āļø @claudiotrezzaniscrittore ā”ļø āLa Fattoria dei Serpentiā ĆØ una crime-story ambientata ai giorni nostri fra il Texas, lāInghilterra e la Spagna. Eā lāideale seguito della prima storia che aveva gli stessi protagonisti: āLāUltima Ballata del Lupoā. Tornano per la loro seconda avventura i membri della squadra investigativa della polizia di New Braunfels : il consulente speciale Cody Myers, il detective Ward Bayliss e il capo della scientifica Veronica Raye. Le indagini partono dopo il ritrovamento del cadavere del giovane presidente della societĆ petrolifera J.J.J. Oil, Roger Jones. Morto in uno zoo allevamento di serpenti, la Snake Farm, morso da un pericoloso mocassino dāacqua. Lāinvestigazione porterĆ la squadra a scoprire che il cadavere in realtĆ ĆØ un sosia messo al suo posto dallo stesso Roger. La societĆ ereditata dal padre era invischiata in loschi affari che lo avevano messo in pericolo e lui aveva assunto un vecchio commilitone disperato che gli somigliava e, grazie anche ad una plastica, lo aveva mandato al posto suo. La squadra di Myers sospetterĆ subito del fratello Colter, era con lui la mattina della morte e aveva scoperto che era lāamante della moglie Melonie. In piĆ¹ risulta evidente che quando riconosce il corpo allāobitorio, capisce di aver ucciso un sosia. Nellāomicidio invece si scopriranno invischiate le trame del mondo delle spie israeliane e di una societĆ con tentacoli ovunque e con sede a Whuan, la Red Rock. Compariranno come protagonisti della storia lāavvocato tutto fare della Red Rock, il gelido inglese Miles Davenport e lāagente israeliano Doron Rosenthal, che fra depistaggi e intercettazioni porteranno la storia da Londra a Nottingham fino a Madrid [....] Per scoprire altro vi consiglio di seguire Claudio š #scrittoriitaliani #lafattoriadeiserpenti #bookblogger #bookblog #booklover #booklovers #booktokitalia #bookgramitalia #bookstagramitalia #texas #inghilterra #spagna #madrid #blogbooklovers #bloggersbooks #blogbook #amoleggere #readingtimeš #readmypassion https://www.instagram.com/p/CpCOODfIUXa/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

30 days The Daily Stoic Journal challenge On 03.03 I received my order for both The Daily Stoic Journal and the original The Daily Stoic book written by @ryanholiday and @stevehanselman I stumbled upon Ryanās YouTube channel āDaily Stoicā just a few weeks ago during a time of a great need to change, to learn how to deal with stress and anxiety in a better way and how to let things that are not under my control go away. Of course, I have a long way ahead of myself and my journey in stoicism has just begun, but I am grateful for everything that came into my way - both good and bad and I am ready to face the future. Both books are crafted for you to reflect on your day, journal like Marcus or Seneca who were way ahead of their time and we can learn so much from both even in the modern age. I will further share my 30 days journey and my opinion about both books and how they have improved my daily routine.

āFor once, little Micah Strauss was peeking out of his bubble and seeing the world as it was, and I wanted more, and I wanted immediacy, and I wanted it to never, ever, endā Finished this fast paced novel by @bkonigsberg . The story introduces Micah Strauss-a mild mannered boy who runs into energetic and proud CJ in a club. Afterwards, Micah begins to change as he introduced to CJās glittering lifestyle that everyone else deems unfit. I felt the book was too fast paced. Thereās not very much world building, but enough for me to imagine the main details. The story didnāt really dive too much into Micahās life and his libertarian parents. Micah didnāt have many introspective moments save for him lying on the bedroom floor and listening to CJās music choice. However, his fear of Aids/HIV and his self loathing because of his fear was well written, especially when in a relationship with CJ. I did appreciate how CJās life wasnāt dramatized as something immoral and that he should change his ways. An exotic dancer and a record enthusiast, he is multifaceted in his personality and can even become somber and real underneath all the glitter. His relationship with his stepfather couldāve had more potential if it were explored more throughly. An entertaining novel that introduces the fight against HIV/Aids and two boys fighting stay together in a world that tries to kill them. #bookreview #bookrecommendation #bookreviewer #bookreviewing #bookish #bookishpost #bookishlife #bookishcommunity #bookishglee #mybookfeatures #readersgonnaread #readingcommunity #readingaddict #readingislife #readingtimeš #readerlife https://www.instagram.com/p/CoaKMBcLUpI/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
