Do you guys like to travel?
I have to be honest with you, that whole «Wanderlust» hippe go lucky thing is not for me. The whole concept makes me feel icky. I’m a huge homebody. The only exception is the UK, partly because I have a british uncle and used to vacation in England a lot as a kid, and I just feel like a part of me belongs there. But other than that, I’ve yet to be bitten by the «Wanderlust» bug. With a full time job, and my Instagram, and the hustle and bustle that is my life, when my vacation time arrives, I want to settle down in peace and quiet in familiar sorroundings and just breathe and relax. I kind of travel through books instead. Anyone else feel like this? Because I get the impression I’m the only one.

¡Hola!
.
Creo que uno de los libros que, sin duda, más ganas tengo de leer es La reina del Tearling.
Es uno de esos libros que veo que muchísima gente ha leído y que los recomienda, aunque he escuchado cosillas sobre el final, pero aun así me apetece mil leerlos.

🌼What I Know For Sure by Oprah Winfrey🌼
-
Finish date: 20th March -
Star rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ -
Favourite quote: (can I say the entire thing?) "Whatever you're going through, you will do just that: go through it. It will pass. So say thank you now. Because you know the rainbow is coming." -
What I know:
I treat this book almost as a religious text - I started it in January to start my new year and start every day with a passage and it has changed my world. Oprah's stories, her words. They are full of wisdom, love, spirituality and beauty. I am in love with the way I see the world now, with these words in my heart. Please, if you need guidance, help, love, comfort. Read this. Read it. #books#bookstagram#reading#read#currentlyreading#oprah#oprahwinfrey#oprahwinfreyquotes#whatiknowforsure#love#grace
Скажу сказу, что не могу советовать или громко крикнуть: «Стой! Не бери это». Книга на любителя. Для тех, кто все-таки решит запустить ее в свой мозг, у меня есть совет: через годик возьмите книгу снова в руки и погрузитесь в нее еще раз. Иногда одного прочтения бывает мало, чтобы понять смысл, историю, подводные камни и философию — это как раз тот случай. И дааа, это детектив. А я фанат детективов, так что вы еще не раз и не два услышите о них. Тут еще и средневековые Шерлок и Ватсон в монашеской рясе (я не сказала вам, что это исторический детектив? Сорри). К детективной ветке вам придется пробираться через тернии описаний, исторических справок, рассуждений о религии/философии и иже с ними. Поэтому чтение книги превратится в подобие американских горок: вы то будете ползти вверх по вещам, которые заставят мозги поскрипеть, то резко упадете вниз вместе с загадками и трупами. Приятного прочтения, друзья :) #детектив#историческийдетектив#прочитано#отзыв#читаю#книги#мнение#оценка#книжное#умбертоэко#имярозы#книжныйчервь#книголюб#книжное#чтоячитаю#book#books#bookworm#bookrewiew#instabook#чтопочитать#читатьмодно#букстаграм
I have a few poetry books that are more aimed at older children, so when I saw this in the library, I thought it would be a good one to try with Molly. We’ll give it a go at bedtime tonight! .
¡Buenos días! ¿Cuenta mi desayuno como comida de pájaros? ¿Puedo volar ahora? 😉 Pienso en las utopías y en esta utopía literaria en particular. “Island” de Aldous Huxley. Me parece que es una excelente palabra para comenzar conversaciones hoy. ¿Has leído este libro? ¿Pensamientos?
Is my breakfast considered bird food? Can I fly now? 😂 🦅 This morning I’m thinking about the word utopia. Have you read this book? Thoughts? #books#libros#aldoushuxley#breakfast#birdfood#goodmorning#thinking#imthinking#amreading#words#palabras#utopia#utopía

Torre del Ponte Carlo dalla parte della Città Vecchia, costruzione risalante al 1350 circa.
L’avvicinarsi al varco che collega i due versanti del fiume Moldava, è preventivamente annunciato dal forte vento che inizia a spirare scompigliando i capelli e rompendo gli ombrelli aperti in caso di pioggia.
Incantevole passeggiare sul ponte pasteggiando con un trdlo: caldi dolcetti di pasta a spirale ricoperti esternamente di zucchero; è possibile farcirne l’interno con gelato freddo o cioccolato.

Hello ! Aujourd'hui je vais vous partager mon avis sur Une fille comme elle de Marc Levy.
Autant vous dire que j'ai vraiment apprécié cette lecture, lu en l'espace d'un après-midi je n'ai pas vu le temps passé.
Un livre que je pourrais personnellement qualifier de véritable comédie romantique !
C'était ce dont j'avais envie sur le moment, donc c'était juste parfait pour moi !
Les personnages sont tous très attachants et on ne peut que saluer la force de Chloé.
L'écriture de Marc Lévy est comme à l'ordinaire très agréable.
Un livre que je vous recommande !
Résumé :
À New York, sur la 5e Avenue, s’élève un petit immeuble pas tout à fait comme les autres…
Ses habitants sont très attachés à leur liftier, Deepak, chargé de faire fonctionner l’ascenseur mécanique, une véritable antiquité. Mais la vie de la joyeuse communauté se trouve chamboulée lorsque son collègue de nuit tombe dans l’escalier. Quand Sanji, le mystérieux neveu de Deepak, débarque en sauveur et endosse le costume de liftier, personne ne peut imaginer qu’il est à la tête d’une immense fortune à Bombay… Et encore moins Chloé, l’habitante du dernier étage.
Entrez au N° 12, Cinquième Avenue, traversez le hall, montez à bord de son antique ascenseur et demandez au liftier de vous embarquer… dans la plus délicieuse des comédies new yorkaises !
Lets talk: book slumps and DNF’ing
•

•
Hi friends! 👋 I’m finally trying to get back in the saddle with my posts after being on vacation last week and being in an all out book slump for most of this week 😫 I intentionally didn’t post while I was on vacation because we were doing so many activities I didn’t have time to read/post - however when I thought I would come home and get back into my regular reading routine, I was quite wrong... I have been in a total slump and haven’t even read page of any of the books I’m reading since my flight on Friday. (I did manage to finish Daisy Jones on my flight - more on that later!) I have just felt overwhelmed, uninspired, tired and frankly I just don’t feel like reading... back when I didn’t have a bookstagram going through one of these slumps didn’t surmount to much and when I felt like reading again I jumped back in, however long it took. But now, I feel a weird sense of abandonment when I take a break and I feel isolated from the rest of you guys! It’s a weird feeling and it’s left me feeling less inspired to post than I have been lately - I don’t want to let myself be caught up in the “obligation” of it and let myself just love reading because I love it and not because I have a bookstagram to keep up with. BUT while I’m not back in the reading saddle just yet - maybe by the end of this week I will be 😅 - I did want to jump back on and say hi to you guys and see what you think about all this! Who else has felt this way after taking a bookstagram break? 🙋🏻♀️ or feels that when they are in a book slump, what’s the point of posting? 💁🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️

This picture serves two purposes, 1) to highlight a country and region that I just had the pleasure of visiting this past week - Germany and Austria were two amazingly beautiful countries and I’m so lucky I was able to experience them. 2) this is my most recent DNF - I started this book and I am just NOT in the mindset to finish it right now - it’s not the book, it’s me! I’m going to table it and maybe I’ll pick it up another time. At least I didn’t get very far so I don’t feel too guilty about setting it down. I’d love to hear your opinions on my #realtalk

– Я хотела бы Вам задать несколько странный вопрос, – начала я. – Слышали ли Вы что-нибудь о проклятии Брустеров?
– Слышал ли я? – грустно улыбнулся индус. – Возможно, именно из-за него и умер мой брат...
– То есть до свадьбы моя бабушка предупреждала его об этом?
– Рейчел рассказала всей семье. Никто не верил в эту карму, пока Ананд не умер.
– Это еще одна причина, почему Вы так холодно встретили нас? Моя фамилия Вас напугала?
– Что Вы! Нет... И моего брата это не пугало. Он знал, что может умереть, если женится на Рейчел. Ананд верил в проклятие. Но он был счастлив с ней. И считал, умереть за это не страшно. Он готов был рискнуть, лишь бы всегда быть вместе и иметь детей.
– Значит, – порадовавшись, уточнила я, – они были счастливы это недолгое время?
– Да. Вы влюблены, леди Брустер? И боитесь боли потери?
– Сейчас я просто не задумываюсь о смерти, ведь знаю, как это будет тяжело, невыносимо. Да, я влюблена, и это взаимно.
– Всегда можно успокоить себя, что после смерти ты увидишься с тем, по кому скучаешь. Но советую Вам не думать о проклятии. Вы прошли тяжелый путь, и, возможно, за это Вам воздастся. Нашу жизнь надо ценить – она настрадалась от человека...

Noah was engaged both day and night in feeding and caring for the animals, and did not sleep for the entire year aboard the ark. The animals were the best of their species, and so behaved with utmost goodness. They abstained from procreation, so that the number of creatures that disembarked was exactly equal to the number that embarked.

🗃 "Comunque è sempre così, mi succede esattamente la stessa cosa. Il fatto è che le persone più vicine a noi danno per scontata quell'amicizia e sentono di non doverci dimostrare nulla, al contrario di chi l'amicizia la deve ancora costruire o la sta costruendo", mi disse una volta questo mio amico.
Alle amicizie che si stanno formando, allora! #esseriumanileggonodonne 🍻 .

📓 "L'isola di Arturo", #elsamorante 🌷
Testimonianza #3 🔏 - «L'isola di Arturo è stato il primo libro scritto da una donna che ho letto. Mi fu dato come compito estivo alla fine della prima media e, devo essere sincero, iniziai a svolgere questo esercizio con estrema svogliatezza, dato che non ero molto allenato alla lettura. Mi ricredetti pagina dopo pagina, immedesimandomi nel piccolo protagonista, che ha davanti a sé una vita intera e tutti i suoi sogni ancora intatti.» .

Does it irritate you or do you like it when authors give old characters more back story in new books?
•
I'm still struggling with the inclusion of a certain VERY CENTRAL main character from the Harry Potter series in this new incarnation of the Rowling-verse. (If there's a better 'verse' name for this world, I do not know what it is.)
•
Honestly, like everyone else, I am deeply curious about this character, but am still torn. I'm also trying to be spoiler free here, which I'm not even sure is necessary anymore? Spoiler alerts are like political correctness ... they've maybe gone top far. 😂 But seriously, do I want to know more or do I like the somehow simple complexity of this character's old incarnation? Questions, questions.
•
Anyway, if you've read or seen Fantastic Beasts, what do you think?

Happy Wednesday, #potterheads !
