My 2023 Best Reads Update + Watchies
I’ve been lucky enough to find some worth-sharing books that I believe everyone could enjoy, or at the very least, appreciate. After simple research and some important spamming from Social Media, I came across a few controversial books with mixed reviews. People loved them or hated them in equal parts. Some consider them overrated, and some believed them to be too tough, even extremely “triggering”. ANIMAL – BY LISA TADEO Few books have shocked me as greatly as this one. The writing style is so electric that, despite disliking the main character, I couldn’t help but feel an emotional connection to her. I read it so fast that I…

Audiobooks VS Books
I had finished listening to one of the “No. 1 Sellers” on Amazon. One of those that are recommended in every Social Media platform by every influencer that reviews books. I had nothing else to do and the feeling of “whatever” that this story had left on me wasn’t leaving anytime soon.

The Platform, Little Fires Everywhere and Other Discoveries
Hi everyone! Today is one more day where I get to prepare a shortlist of the new pieces of art that I had the opportunity to discover over the last weeks. It’s been a weird time and I believe the following weeks are still going to be far away from the reality we were used to living. The thing is, independently of how we have spent those weeks, every one of us has come to some conclusions, revelations and discoveries, either about yourself or about the future you want. I personally have been feeling pretty uninspired. The idea of going out felt dangerous and staying at home some…

5 Amazing Books You Need to Read Before Going Back to the Real World
Some years ago, one of my teachers was talking about the importance of reading. He said something along the lines of “When I see a teenager reading, I think, he’s saved”. Well, that’s bullshit. I don’t think reading ANY type of book is going to save you from whatever that sentence was referring to. Some books are simply a waste of time.
