The weekend is finally here 😋 #cook #eat #read #devoringbooks
pickWeird, psychedelic and oddly sensual! This was a very fun and gritty collection, recommend to anyone who loves dark fantastical feminist writing. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (out of 5)
Now to the last one in the trilogy! Its been such a fun ride and again. I love Kevin Kwan and can‘t wait for the movie adaptations to come out (lets hope it is as good as the book). Now I‘m gonna go read this baby on a beach and try to really understand the title 😜 #summerreads #kevinkwan #crazyrichasians #trilogy
“Destiny makes its urgent way to the mighty and those who do violent deeds.(...) Sometimes, however, very seldom at all times, and on a strange whim, it makes its way to some unimportant man”- The Field of Waterloo, Stefan Zweig #summerreads #stefanzweig #nonfiction #history
pickKevin Kwan I wish I had read and re-read you sooner. #summerreads #summertothemax
Celebrating today‘s game the best way 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
Sunny day in the pool with Bloody Maries, BBQ and Kevin Kwan what else could a girl want for summer ?
pickOne of my favorite books and writers!
pickValter Hugo Mãe is the modern master of Portuguese literature, there is no surprise that this book was amazing! Story of two men in Feudal Japan, “Homens imprudentemente poéticos” is an homage to the meaning of life, and how we judge what is a proper life. Loved it!
These vintage minis are the perfect way to spend the afternoon
Day 12 of the #Riotgrams challenge : 'Summer reads'. Since its actually "winter" here in Brazil and the weather is starting to cool, my summer read is a historical fiction epic about one the most violent episodes of Brazilian history ( The Canudos War) written by the wonderful Peruvian renaissance man Mario Vargas Llosa
Day 11 of the #Riotgrams challenge: Little free libraries. I don't have a LFL near me or in my town :/. So, here is a tiny corner of my 'library room'. I won't be following the challenge everyday from now on cause I'm going on a trip! But don't worry about me I'm bringing lots of books 😁. Happy Summer babes!
Day 10 of the #Riotgrams challenge : books in the wild! Well this is part of my wild backyard 😝. Wishing you all a super happy summer !
Day 9 of the #Riotgrams challenge : LGBTQ+. Happy pride month to all of you beauties and remember: in the end Love wins!! 🏳️🌈
Day 8 of the #Riotgrams challenge: Books with Ice cream! Unfortunately didn't get any ice creams today due to an unexpected trip to the dentist 😩. But here is a beautiful summer read cover with Ice creams on it! 🍦🍦🍦🍦
Day 7 of #Riotgrams : Well loved reads! The Da Vinci Code was my introduction to mysteries and more importantly to the wonderful Robert Langdon and Dan Brown. I actually read it first when I was 13, hidden from my catholic mom, but with the help of a not very religious dad as an accomplice. He later bought me this illustrated copy, since I read the paperback to its death. I was over the moon!
Day 6 of #Riotgrams ! (Number titles). Although most of the booms here are in Portuguese and Brazilian editors choose to write numbers in words, it still counts! Here are : 100 years of solitude; 1984; Number 0; Slaughter-house five and 14,000 things to be happy about
Day 5 #Riotgrams something magical! The illustrated french version of the Grimms Fairytales 🏰
Day 4 #Riotgrams ft my idea notebooks and 2017 planner 📒🖋
Bom dia! Day 3 of the #Riotgrams : I read like I drink coffee, constantly and a bit obsessively.
Decided that would be a good idea for me to reorganize my shelf for the #RiotGram Day 1 challenge. I instantly regret it.
" the values that support hygge and underpin egalitarian society suggest the possibility of a way of being where every living thing is recognized for its unique qualities and upheld as part of an integrated whole." With that being said, have a very Hygge day ?
pickJust read this in one sitting. The writing is amazing and the allegories and references to other literary works and political ideologies is amazing!
pickSo this semester I took a class in postcolonial literature, and loved it! Purple hibiscus was our 4th book in the class. We analyzed it in the context of publishing, and how the Anglo-Saxon world has dominated the way postcolonial writes must write and how they are presented to the public!
pickGreat audio book! The narrator is fantastic for the format in which it is written
"What cannot letters inspire? They have souls, they can speak, they have in them all that force which expresses the transports of the heart; they have all the fire of our passions" Héloïse to Abelard
pickAmazing audiobook!!!!!! Everything about this just made me so much more aware of during/post apartheid South Africa in a personal level, at the same time it made my day so much fun when I was listening
The rainy cold weather here in Ireland allowed me to spend St. Pat's day exactly how I wanted : curled up with a new book and tea. 🇮🇪☘️
" I know she is coming I know she will look And that is the longing And this is the book"
pickMendelssohn is still on the roof! ( he is the fourth statue on the right side of the Rudolfinium). This wonderful book talks about the absurdity of the Nazi occupation in Prague with a lot of dark humor. With the premises that the statue of Jewish composer Mendelssohn must be taken out, but misinformation leads the statue of German ultranationalist Wagner to be taken out, because that was the one with the biggest nose!
" So what's new?" I asked. " Nothing 's been new in this world for more than two billion years, it's all just variations on the same theme of carbon, hydrogen, helium, and nitrogen" Father answered. #familytalkdoneright
pickIn day 4 of my ' Prague on the Page' class on Czech literature, we came to Česky Krumlov, the village and Castle that inspired Franz Kafka to write : The Castle. The book is amazing and I highly recommend anything by Kafka!
pickThis book has broken me in so many levels. I repeat I am completely shattered. I am in love.
'E, quando lhe perguntei que livros que pegava emprestado na biblioteca, o que estava lendo, respondeu brava: " Não pego mais nada, os livros fazem mal à minha cabeça"'.Reading the Brazilian Portuguese translation of the first book in the neapolitan series.Translation by Mauricío Santana Dias
"The Tudors meets Monty Python" what else do you need to know? (Extra points for the amazing cover)
pickAn Amazing fictional story about a fantastical real woman 💕
