so, i came back to tumblr, after all! weird to be here, i've disappeared almost everywhere, the queen of ghosting. it was for a good reason. i've been dealing with a long period of crisis, gave up 2 semesters at uni, been stuck in my bed 23h/day (not a hyperbole). finally, i feel like coming back here.

in this whole period, i haven't done too much. couldn't read, watched not so many movies/tv shows, but i did listen to a bunch of music. that kept me a bit less depressed.

i feel like i have something inside of me that is trying too hard to get out, but i don't know how to do it; it's a feeling of creation. only a few people actually feel this, like they need to create something, to put it out, but haven't found a way yet. it's stuck, and it's a whole interwork.

AND altho i know that not many people follow me, neither know who i am or whatever, but to anybody reading this and going through something bad, i hope you get better. focus on your health. it'll pass, doesn't matter when, just be strong and keep fighting. this isn't a coaching shit or self-help bad book, but for experience of someone who's dealing with way too much. everyday is a new day to begin again, until you get it.

have a really muthafuckin great day, guys. much love to you. (that's for the 2 people maybe reading this lmfao thank you for being here) 🌧🤍

these are some books that i've bought recently. expecting lispector and camus of me should be common sense by now. and of course, literary theory. 🤍

started 'água viva' today. my first clarice! her writing is wow, i've been annotating a lot. so many thoughts already. just wild!

i was gonna go for run today, but gave up, it's been one of those lazy days. probably do some yoga before go to bed.

tomorrow i feel like it's gonna be a good day. (probably won't though) - let's keep it positive.

that's a goal: be more positive! 🤍🌧

1am, i'm reading 'hiperculturalidade', and it's so good. probably, i'll be finishing it on thursday or friday.

also, i read today 'blue horses' by mary oliver and liked it. wasn't too invested tho, but it's great.

and in the morning, i was able to read a lot of 'the idiot' by elif batuman. this book is making me so happy! her writing is amazing and just to be in selin's mind is fascinating.

be kind to yourselves 🤍🌧

continuing this one today! i'm still on 10% but really enjoying it. it's funny and brings some good questions to think about.

other than that, i apply for next semester's classes. hope i'll be accepted at all of them.

i'm trying to think more about the projects i'd like to work on.

i hope it rains today. 🌧

Life's not fair, i should be paid for existing and reading books

I haven't done a book update on here in a minute so here's everything I've read since the last update 🥰 my favorites? Fourth Wing and Love Hypothesis lol

The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes

At first while reading this all I could think was what happened to Snow? He seemed so compassionate. But as things progressed his thought process just bothered me. I felt like the story didn't do Lucy Gray justice and that this didn't provide much of a necessary back story to the original books other than offering a few things you recognized in the originals.

Okay I loved this one. There was so much emotion and heart break in this book, you feel sorry for everyone involved. The story of her trying to get her daughter back is more of the focus than the romance but I think she did a great job balancing the 2.

Kingdom of the wicked series by Kerri Maniscalco

This series could have been written a bit better BUT it as still enjoyable and an easy read. And I do feel she did a good job wrapping the ending up

The Fear by Natasha Preston

I enjoy her books because it's like watching a cheesy thriller movie. The entire book I thought I was right about the killer, got so excited that I was right, and then the last sentence ended with me my mouth falling open 😂

Regretting you by Colleen Hoover

Her books are always either a hit or miss for me. This one was enjoyable but definitely not her best. I enjoyed the mother daughter relationship repair more than I did the romantic interests lol

Kingdom of Ash by Sarah J Maas

I can't belive the series is over 😭 I love this world and these characters so much. The ending was what I was hoping for 🥺❤️ I feel like she did a great job wrapping everything up and giving everyone the ending they deserved. The loss though were so sad. This book was an emotional roller coaster lol

Tower Of Dawn by Sarah J Maas

I will say I was not excited to read this one since it was Chaols point of view and with the cliff hanger of the last book I only wanted to read Aelins story. But I enjoyed the book! I enjoyed Chaols redemption and finally having Yrene in the story 🥰

I'm excited to start the last book but sad that the story is coming to an end 😭 the last book is nearly 1000 pages though so it will probably take me a minute to read lol

Empire of Storms by Sarah J Maas

This book was a constant go go go. I was so excited when all the point of views met and for the love connections that were made. But typical Sarah had to rip my heart out at the end 😭

Queen Of Shadows by Sarah J Maas

I think this is my favorite in the series so far. Everything played out so nicely and I hope 🥺 I absolutely love Rowan and Aelins relationship, Chaol finally isn't annoying, and Dorian is free! I can't wait to see Manons and Elides characters transform 🥰

Heir of Fire by Sarah J Maas

This book was heart warming and heart wrenching at the same time lol I was so happy with what happened with Rowan because i love him so much. And then all that other crap happened with everyone else! 😂 if I didn't have a test tomorrow I'd start the next book now lol

Crown of Midnight by Sarah J Maas

Oh Nehemia 😭 that made me so sad. Archer can got to hell. I need Celaena and Chaol to be back to normal. I'm glad she told him everything and I predicted that ending half way through lol

Throne of Glass by Sarah J Maas

I definitely am going to fly through this series. This book was very good, I loved the character development and meeting the new characters. I can tell she used this book to lay the ground work for what's to come!

The Assassins Blade by Sarah J Maas

I'm glad I read this book of novellas first to give me back stories before jumping into the series. I loved the stories but ma'am why did you have to rip my heart out at the end like that 😭 Celaena better find love again.

Watching You by Lisa Jewell

I had a more difficult time getting into this book at first but the ending was worth it! The whole time I thought it was a different person that died and suspected a different murderer until the last few chapters. Overall I do like some of her other books better

Me texting my best friend after I finished Crescent City series last night 😂

So last week I realized I had read 27 books. I made it my goal to read 30 by the end of the year... and I did it! I'm so proud of myself and so gland I dove back into something I love doing 🥰

Confess by Colleen Hoover

I honestly loved it. It gave me the same good feelings I got when i read November 9 🥺 I read the whole thing within 24 hours lol I like that she used real people's confessions in this although some were quite sad

Book review! (No spoilers)

Invisible Girl by Lisa Jewell

This was a very quick and easy read for me. Although I had theories I never knew how it was really going to end. I did feel the ending was a bit anticlimactic for the build up we got of the story lines. Although I will always enjoy a happy ending in a book!

My husband said he would buy me all the books in my wish list lol I told him I don't want him spending that much money but I know this man isn't going to listen completely so I'm expecting a lot of books soon 😅
