The Millennium Series has a new book!

A few years ago, some Swedish author named Stieg Larsson got us caught in a very addicting mystery - where a girl with a really complex personality and some double-standard moral ground tangles herself in an investigation with a non-respected journalist.

The Millennium Series was an intense story, describing not only an unexpected rand strange relationship between Lisbeth Salander and Mikael Blomkvist, but the solving of several crimes related to women abuse and mob issues.

In the end of the third book, the author left us wanting for more (not only for the way it ended but also by dying without finishing the rest of the saga), but now we can discover what happened to the characters after their last adventure because the fourth part of the story is going to be published between summer and fall of this year!!! 

David Lagercrantz is the author responsible for continue Larsson's legacy and is safe to say that it has a great weight upon his shoulders, because many fans of the series are eagerly expecting this book! (If you want to know more about him, you can click in his name to go to his Goodreads profile :D)

Also, and to add some spice into the matter, Lagercrantz has to deal with Eva Gabrielsson disapproval of project. Since Gabrielsson ( Larsson's long-term partner) possesses an unfinished manuscript for the next part of the Millennium series, which is not included in the upcoming fourth novel, she refers to Lagercrantz' work as a "completely idiotic choice": 

“The worst thing is how saddened Stieg would have been. He never let anyone work on his literary texts. He would have been furious. Who knows, maybe he’ll send a lightning bolt at the book launch,” she said.

Aside from all the drama, The Girl in the Spider's Web is expected to be around us on August 27th, 2015, unless you're in the US, in which case you have to wait until September 1st, 2015 - and for those who, like me, can wait to see what's new to Lisbeth and Blomkvist, here's the plot:

"In this adrenaline-charged thriller, genius-hacker Lisbeth Salander and journalist Mikael Blomkvist face a dangerous new threat and must again join forces.

Late one night, Blomkvist receives a phone call from a trusted source claiming to have information vital to the United States. The source has been in contact with a young female super hacker—a hacker resembling someone Blomkvist knows all too well.

 The implications are staggering.
Blomkvist, in desperate need of a scoop for Millennium, turns to Lisbeth for help. She, as usual, has her own agenda. 

In The Girl in the Spider's Web, the duo who thrilled 80 million readers in The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, The Girl Who Played with Fire, and The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest meet again in an extraordinary and uniquely of-the-moment thriller."

So, we'll keep waiting to see if The Girl in the Spider's Web fulfill yours and our expectations, in the meantime...

...see you between the pages!

Review: Chase Me (Broke and Beautiful #1) - Tessa Bailey

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️½

I don't know what is it about a book series where an entire group of male/female friends end up falling for another group of male/female friends... But I kind of LOVE these books!!!! Even if the situation is so unrealistic....

But is safe to say that in the Broke and Beautiful Series' case it has everything to do with the way the author, Tessa Bailey, wrote it and managed the dialogs in it.

With the first book, Chase Me, I absolutely adored how Bailey got me tangled in Roxy and Louis's story, together and individually (because both of them talk from their perspective), and how easy it seems to understand their personalities after you read a couple of chapters.

Also, this book got me laughing from page one - the lite way some of the most absurd situations in the world are presented are going to keep you wanting to know what's coming next!

Is safe to say that if you read the introduction to this book (which you can do in HERE), you cannot imaging reading something that starts in such awkward circumstances but after you jump into it, it kind of make sense with the way everything develops. And, although it has erotic situations, they're only part of the story and not the center of it, which makes the book hot but not excessive in that department.

So, from my point of view, this book is 100% recommended if you want a relax reading, enjoying some crazy and funny lines with characters that can share their chemistry beyond the pages - Great job, Tessa!!! ;)

Ok, so let's get into the juicy details of the book - STOP right HERE if you haven't read the book because I might drop some SPOILERS...

First of all, Bravo to the way the book starts - right to the point!!! No unnecessary introduction to the situation - Roxy is in the elevator in her way to do the most awkward thing she's ever done -- Sing to a guy about his penis in no other that a bunny costume, and from my understanding, not the sexy Playboy kind but the kind the a mascot from some college football team wears. Right in that second you can start to get to know her, how she thinks, why she's doing this and how she feels awful about it.

And then, she's in front of Louis - Josh Duhamel's way of hotness, hangover and with only jeans on it (pretty hot picture, uh?). But the best part about this encounter is that besides the obvious physical portrait of the scene, the author handle it and show us the connection between them - just by the way they speak to each other and even is she's still wearing the costume's mask... All of this in a no cheesy way!

After that, is pretty much a run until the end - you don't want to stop reading! And not because the story is something amazing, at the end is another love story, but because the characters are addictive! 

Roxy's a tough girl, independent and used to handle everything her way - with a difficult start in life, which is presented in the least dramatic way possible (points for this) - she has her dream of being an actress in a city like NY, where without the right connections everything can become extremely complicated -- She's struggling but with a lot of dignity and you can see how she has a really practical way of live her life. I loved that she's not the damsel in distress who's waiting for prince charming to safe her!!

Then there's Louis: handsome, rich and with an enviable kind of life but not spoiled at all (amazing quality to this character) - He wants to be different than his father and so many other lawyers who work only for the money - He wants to work for people who really needs him and basically has some superhero complex - not in the over the top kind of way, but in the normal overprotect-things-I-care-about way.

I was caught by the trail Louis walks to get Roxy to take him seriously and, as the chase continue, the way Roxy slowly falls into his path... They had such attractions going on between them that is really difficult not to feel a little bit jealous.

The rest of the characters are well developed too... Even if you take into consideration that most of them are going to have their own books in the series, you know how Abby is really lonely, how Honey is the souther girl next door, how Russell is the tough guy who doesn't fall in love and how Ben is the serious/respectful type. 

Even some of the other characters, like Louis' crazy twin sisters, the fiance (who is an absolute asswhole!!) and Johan (who is the worst asswhole in the world!!!!) have the right amount of description to get to know them and understand how they sum to the story.

Anyway, the point is this book really surprised me and I'm definitely looking forward for the other two in the series!!!!

Hope you guys enjoy my babbling about it! If you have anything to say, you can do it below ⬇️

See you between the pages...

Review: Arranged - Catherine McKenzie

(★★★★★ - 5 stars)

I absolutely LOVED this book in so many levels! 

Not only I found really well written and enjoyed the straight-forward romance story, but I found the message between the lines a helpful reminder to most of the women of this generation - that a girl does not need to be marry or have a man to be happy and successful.

If you haven't read the book and you're an eternal romantic, such as myself, you're going to cherish this book! I can assure you! The instant chemistry between the main characters hooks us up into the story and gets us asking for a happy ending!

Is also an unexpected story, with a strange subject but one where you cannot know what's going to happen next - trust me! I've read so many books in my life, I can figure them out pretty much by the second page most of the time! But that was not the case with Arranged, so well done Catherine!!!!

But let's cut this review by the three parts I want to discuss: The Writing - The Story and The Message! 

THIS is the place where you STOP if haven't read the book, because I can get some SPOILERS over the lines!

So, The Writing - in my opinion, pretty good! The author keeps us in the loop all the time without unnecessary information! She goes to the point, but give us the exact amount of descriptions that we are going to need in order to move forward and fall in love with a character or a situation!

I also like the timeline a lot! McKenzie does not give us unrealistic time tables here - things happen in their time and, as the characters, we have to be patient to get to the action - really good trick! She even keeps the main characters, Anne and Jack, apart for more than a year - time where they continue with their lives while coping with their feelings and failures in the meantime. 

They way the book is organized is simple for the reader to follow the different stages of Anne's life and how this stages changed as she move forward. This help us get into the mood the author wants to set in every situation!

Then, there's The Story - Hardcore ROMANCE without the oh-so-cheesy parts. And I'm gonna explain in detail - Anne is a romantic to her bones - named after a heroine in a classic romantic novel, she thinks her happy ending is settle. So, based on this, she picks her guys for all the wrong reasons - because she didn't think she had to try that hard. I can relate to her in some level, since her type of man hits me pretty close (dark hair + blue eyes = yum! hahaha). But like most of us women, she's deceived by this men and by herself so she gets tired of trying and decide that someone else is gonna call the shot for her - in this case, an arranged marriage' agency.

Let's not be to hard on Anne, after all she lives in a society where if you're over 30 (she's 33) and you're not married, you're as good as dead (at least if you're a women) - Her brother, her best friends, her mother and even some of her ex-boyfriends point that out at along the book. So she feels corned and gets desperate - and desperate times call for desperate measures = ARRANGED MARRIAGE to a complete stranger. We can see how she's struggling with her decision even after she mets Jack and feels how compatible they are.

The story flows from how they seem so perfect for each other and your think "how this kind of things can work out at the end?" - to the part where she figures out everything is a lie and her husband is not who she thinks he is - to finally land in how some people who shouldn't be falling in love end completely mad about each other.

I also liked the fact that, while they're together and everything seems great, the main characters continue their work, friends, families and lives as they have them before the marriage, something I really appreciate in a book.

Last but not least, The Message! Is the thing a loved the most about this book. Like I said early in the post, not only Anne but all of us, we're all leaving in a society where marriage is such a big deal - where if you don't achieve it at certain age you're getting behind the line and everything (and everyone) around you are constantly reminding you how lonely you supposedly are or going to be in the future. And this drives a sane person to do something they wouldn't have  ever done, like an arranged marriage. And don't get me wrong, this is something that works for some cultures and I'm not jugging it - but is not the same when you do it because is a tradition (and if you are 100% willing to do it, in the first place) then when you do it out of insecurities and fears (installed there even by your own mother).

I'm also not saying "let's not get marry anymore" because I totally respect the institution and, again, if is something you do from the bottom of your heart then go for it! 

My point, and the reason I absolutely adored this book, is that you have to be happy with yourself first, feel accomplished with what you've done on you own and only THEN share this happiness with someone else who celebrates it and wants it too. I truly believe this is the great message in this book.

Wow - I think I got really inspired by this one! Hahaha

Hope you guys have enjoyed it and, as always, you're more than welcome to let me know in here ⬇️

See you between the pages!

Review: The Martian - Andy Weir

(★★★★ - 4 of 5 stars)

Hey guys!!!

Since I've been a lazy girl lately and I'm still vacation's mode on, my pal Andrew has tagged along and wrote an amazing review on The Martian of Andy Weir - You should definitely read this before the movie comes to air this year!!!!

Hope you enjoy Andrew's remarks as much as I did! ;)

Trish ❥

Hello Guys, happy to share some thoughts about The Martian and to be here with you all.... (Trish is amazing, isn´t she??).

Let´s GOOOO!

The Martian is a fast-pace, multiple-perspective book about Mark Watney, an astronaut visiting mars in a 6-man mission when a wind-storm leave him stranded on the red planet all alone on the 6^th sol (day) of the mission. How cool for a start is that? Cool set-up uh? Nevertheless, is a page turner that will grab your attention and will not leave you until the very last word.

The author, Andy Weir wrote this book and self-publish it. So extra points for that….

I felt inspired during the book, I have to admit. Inspired about the possibilities beyond our planet, daydreaming about what we will achieve in the next decades. I felt for a while like how people should had felt in the 60´s during the space program and the cold war. Why did we stop going further and further into space after the moon ¿? – hopefully the space program will go further in the incoming years (I´m looking at you SpaceX). Mind that while I was reading, the New Horizons space probe was reaching Pluto and Charon, Styx, Nix, Kerberos, and Hydra (Pluto´s moons). So yes, I´m a astronomical nerd! So I have reasons to enjoy this book… because you know, reason!

Soooo, back to The Martian. The books works! Works so well that a movie is in development with Ridley Scott (Yes! Aliens Scott) behind the cameras and Matt Damon (That´s ok, I would love to see Sam Rockwell - did you saw MOON - WHOA!) as Mark Watney: Please Hollywood, do not screw this one…

Before taking this book into your hands you have to know that this is not your typical book with a narrator where you see everything through his/her eyes. This is a survival log and a book about an engineer, so things are described to us like an engineer would: I know, sound boring! But is not, Watney have a funny and light personality and makes you to root for him since the start.

There is a huge amount of attention to detail on the Science (highly appreciated), and only some deliberate inaccuracy that the author admitted, of course, all for dramatic purposes. So, the drama is there, but also a great deal of science, surviving and jokes. Highly recommended.

So – let’s get a little more technical.

THIS is the place where you STOP if haven't read the book, because I can get some SPOILERS over the lines!

Things that I liked about The Martian ✔︎:

1)   The potatoes! Hahaha – I mean, the fact that Watney managed to create a crop inside the hab was so cool. Is just an example of how well Weir did his research, a fact that help us to trust Watney and to believe he have the capacity to do the MacGyverish things he does. It is fun to see how he creates water or how he reach Sol 459 doing problem solving constantly. According to some reddittors most of the terminology and math and stuff was spot on, so I will take their word for it (and so you should to, everything in the internet is true wink-wink).

2)   The multiple-perspective. Since not only Watney is present through his logs but also Venkat Kapoor and all the crew of the Hermes. It gives you a more whole picture of the story and makes you root even more for the success of the mission.

3)   Addictiveness. From page 1 until the last word I wanted to know what´s next. It is a typical page turner and that is AWESOME! Who does not like that…. I mean, it is the main reason we (most of us) read.

4)   Watney itself. The character is somewhat flat, I will talk about that later. However I adored reading about a character in a shit situation who is looking at the positives, not the negatives: "He must be so lonely up there, I wonder what he's thinking right now."

"Why can Aquaman talk to whales?" :-)

5)   The struggle within NASA. That´s how the world function in my opinion. At least it is how my day job function, a constant struggle to make things happen, difficulty after difficulty that people have to sort out in order to achieve an objective.

6)   Duct Tape... because uhmm. Duct Tape! 

Things that I did not liked about The Martian ✘:

A)   No arc or development for the characters. Watney, Kapoor, the crew of the Hermes and everyone else stayed the same even thou some time passed (more than a year and a half). So you are telling me that I´m stranded with no human contact for a long period of time and I´m not going a bit insane…? Maybe not physics but some psychology is missing.

B)   It's no literature masterpiece. And I’m being unfair here. We cannot expect every book to be the best book ever.

C)   Some of the dialogues are way-out there. I cannot image people in JPL talking like a robot or like being in Apollo 13 movie-set. I was too grandiose for my taste.

So yes! This a 4/5 for me. A good read for a casual reader and a great read for a geek (if you are not one of those that looks for every mistake and complaints about everything). Overall: awesome book.

If you want to ask something to the author or say anything about the book, you can do it through the Reddit IAMA - Here's the direct link to it:

https://www.reddit.com/r/books/comments/2tyz6p/i_am_andy_weir_author_of_the_martian_soon_to_be_a/

So, just to close it up an inspirational quote… (Cheesy right?). 

Anyhow, Randall Munroe, the former NASA roboticist and Cartoonist once said:

"The universe is probably littered with the one-planet graves of cultures which made the sensible economic decision that there's no good reason to go into space - each discovered, studied, and remembered by the ones who made the irrational decision."

As always… thanks for reading.

Review: Twisted (Tangled #2) - Emma Chase

(★★✦ - 2.5 of 5 stars)

Hello again! Like I promise in my previous post, I'm bringing Emma Chase's Twisted (Tangled #2) review.

At first, I wasn't going to read it, but the description caught my eye and I finished pretty fast. I must say that it was more of the same I read in the first book, but from Kate Brooks's perspective (the female main character).

Most of the people who liked the series enjoyed the sassy, almost cynical personality of Drew Evans, the principal male character, so maybe the fact that Kate tells us what happen next is an upside downer. 

But in my perspective, Chase kept it pretty casual and followed the lead of the first book - funny conversations, smart remarks and direct contact of the storyteller with the reader.

So you may ask why I'm giving it half of a star less - the main reason is the plot! And here is where, if you haven't read this book, you should STOP because the SPOILERS start now.

Basically, this book is based 2 years after Tangled and when you start reading, you can see how Drew and Kate have been sharing a lovely relationship - living together and apparently still having sex like rabbits ALL THE TIME (pretty fictional, huh?). And then, something mysterious happened and destroyed the perfection that they've been sharing.

At this point, you want to know what was that mayor fail that set these two apart. Then, you start to understand what is going on - Kate's pregnant!! She mixed antibiotics with birth control pills and something when wrong along the way (For the record, this is a TRUE FACT, so be careful to mix this two and have sex without extra protection, if you're not interested in having a child in the immediate future :P)

Here is where my issues with the story begin - because what happens next? She gets pretty scared and doesn't take a regular pregnancy test (you know? the one where you pee in the stick?) and of course, she doesn't tell Drew anything; instead she lies to him and waits to go see the doctor - a really close friend that she never introduced to her living-together boyfriend!!! Do you see where I'm going with this? If you don't, don't worry I'll be there in a paragraph!

Before I tell you, I have to remark Drew's stupidity - because, after he invades Kate's privacy by reading her agenda without her consent, what does he do? He follows her and, believing that she is cheating on him, he hires a F%$&ING striper!!!!!!! And waits for Kate at home, sucking the striper's mouth in the mean time! Now you get it??

This two have some BIG COMMUNICATION ISSUES!!! And they cover them with a lot of sex! What great paternal figures they're going to be, huh??

After all this mess, they spend several weeks without talking about maybe one of the most important subjects a couple should talk, THEIR BABY! Because apparently she thinks he can read minds and know, somehow, she's pregnant - even when he didn't know this Bob was her friend, less her OB/GYN. See what I mean? Total communication issues!

However, beside the entire mess in the story, the book is still fresh and light reading and you can certainly enjoy the intelligent come backs of the characters, which give us a hint of how the author thinks. Whether fun facts like the comparison of men and women orgasms, life expectancy of single/married men vs single/married women, women behaviors in our OB/GYN's visits; or just small jokes about women's PMS, why does men cannot conceive and how they should learn to say sorry when women are angry! All these details make the reading enjoyable and funny - maintaining the same tone from the first book of the series.

I really liked that we could learn a little bit more about the secondary characters - like Billy, Kate's mom, Delores, the Evan's family, etc - I was gladly surprised to get to know them through Kate's perspective. And, about her, let me say that for a serious girl she was pretty crazy back in her days: alcohol, drugs (several kinds!), breaking and entering and stealing cars, all activities of her repertory! This fact was quite shocking but breaks the good girl image and and I applaud the author's efforts to think outside the box!

To end this review, let's just say that I spent almost the entire book HATING Drew!!! And I still don't know if I forgive him! Cheating is never the answer, man!!!

And that's it - hope you had enjoy my POV about this book - you can always agree or disagree with me below ⬇️

Thanks for reading and see you between the pages!

Review: Tangled - Emma Chase

(⭐️⭐️⭐️ - 3 of 5 stars)

Hello guys!! If you're a new reader, WELCOME!!! and  if you're a returning one, I'm happy to see you in another book review! ;)

For those who haven't read the book, I can tell you that it's a pretty light reading - the aim is to entertain and spend a while in someone else's life instead of yours.

A romance novel wrote from the male point of view, it gives us a hilarious idea of how a single man thinks. Plus the main character, Drew, is funny, smart and so full of himself that allow us to have a good time with his crazy thoughts. Is like if we get caught in a little boy's mind.

Kate, Drew's love interest, is a serious girl - with goals and a structure life, until she meets Mr. nothing-is-too-serious and from then on she gets Tangled in his web. She already has a relationship and we get to see how this struggles with Drew's persistence actitud towards her.

If you're looking for a simple book to read after a heavy day, this could be what you want! You're going to enjoy the prose and most of the intelligent remarks that Emma Chase introduces through her characters. Plus, the author counts the audience as one active participante of the book - what makes it even more interesting. 

Now, if you haven't read this book, STOP HERE because I'm gonna drop some SPOILERS!

Now, let's talk about the depths of this book - Sure, it is an entertaining reading material, but it has its ups and down around the story.

We have flat characters, simple and without any development underneath them. Drew, as funny as he can be, is the male version of a spoiled brat with to much money in his hands; Kate is the small town girl that ends up working in a big company and wants to take advantage of her opportunity and, of course, as a small town kind of girl, she needs the we've-been-together-forever boyfriend Billy - the poor Billy is portrayed as a useless person that only sings for a living and who doesn't appreciate his girlfriend, but let's be real! She has 11 years with him so something good he must have to himself (I'd have loved to know what was that and for him to be a better competition to Drew). 

The rest of the characters are just more of the same pattern - The Bitch (who I thought was a really good sister, by the way), the friends, the parents and the coworkers - some secondary filling that at times you could have subtract from the equation. 

As a positive point, I like the way the author includes their jobs in the story - like is something important in their lives! Not only their love life, like in most of this kinds of books. They discuss clients and spend a lot of their time in their offices actually working (well, at least Kate does) so good for you, Emma!

I already said this before in this post, but the author makes a lot of smart remarks through her characters that I enjoyed a lot - like when Mackenzie wants to be a princess and Drew is alarmed - "I need to talk to my sister. Disney is dangerous. Corrosive brainwashing bullshit, if you ask me." 

This kind of little comments give us something else to think instead of the book and I found that refreshing while adding Chase's point of view.

Personally, I love Disney, but thinking that Prince Charming exists is really corrosive at an adult age! hahaha

Another of my favorite remarks is the one made about men vs. women behavior about orgasms - with the entire description about the UCLA and NYU researches and the explanation of how this affects both sexes! Really cleaver and funny!!! 

And like this examples, you can find lots and lots of hints to the authors mind that makes this reading refreshing and enjoyable!

But before this post is finished, let's say what most of you probably thought during the reading: Drew,  man, you're a mayor asshole with the girl you supposed to be in love with!!!!!!! - c'mon, you could have listened to her when she came to tell how everything went with Billy!!!!!! You could have saved yourself all the trouble you put Kate and ourselves through afterwards!!

Having said that, I gave Emma Chase's Tangled three stars and I'm starting the second book of the serie, Twisted - I wasn't sure to read more of this series but the description of the next story caught my eye! Of course, I will tell you what I think about it! ;) 

Here's the description to Twisted, in case you're interested ---> https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/17977710-twisted?ac=1 

Hope you had enjoy this review and, as always, see you between the pages!!! 

Reading is NOT overrated!

In an era where the media consumed us and TV shows and social media is all we can do in our free time, there are still some sentimentalists - like myself - that rather to spend this time with a book in their hands.

Why? In my case, is a matter of excess of free time - I always loved reading but I used to do it when I was on vacations or at night because I couldn't sleep. The rest of my time was divided by work, friends, TV and lots of WhatsApps, FB post, Instagram photo, tweets, etc. And, don't get me wrong, I still spend a lot of time doing those stuffs, specially in social media; I found it amazing how a page can connect people all around the world!!!!

But one day my life changed and I found myself with a lot of time to spare, so I took the easy way and started by watching TV shows and movies - and you know what I figured out? That this wasn't enough!! I got excited with a lot of this stories, but at the end, I always wanted MORE - so I started to get bored by it. Plus, my eyes were begging me to stop staring at a screen most of the day! (You may think that know I am killing them with words, which is correct! hahahah)

That was when I grab my first book at 9 in the morning and started spending my days immerse in the pages of it. This was about 3 years ago - and I committed the big and amazing mistake of started with something like the Game of Thrones series!!! 🙈 I got so obsess that I finished the entire 5 books in two weeks, which is no easy task considering the amount of characters involved in the story.

By the time I finished, I was exhausted so I felt into something a little bit lighter - The Fifty Shades of Grey series - I know, completely lunatic change of taste, right? Hahaha. Well, it turns out that, aside form the fact that E.L. James cannot write a shit, I loved the way this book made me feel. At least the first one and couple of chapters of the second one. And I found myself addicted to this kind of feeling! Seeking it in every book I read from then on. I re-read Pride and Prejudice and Sense and Sensibility - then I started looking for book adaptations so I went from The secret diary of Lizzie Bennet by Bernie Su to Pride and Prejudice and Zombies by Seth Grahame-Smith (Fun Fact: this one is amazing and their even making a movie out of it). 

Then I moved myself to romantic novels with a bit of spice on it - Novels by Erin Nicholas, Katy Evans, Noelle Adams, Toni Aleo, Kelly Oram, Lauren Layne, etc. Of course, I also revisited some of my YA favorite books - The Twilight saga, The Hunger Games - and added new ones to my list of read-books - Divergent by Veronica Roth, The Vampire Academy and Bloodlines by Rachelle Mead, The Mortal Instruments and The Infernal Devices by Cassandra Clare, and Fire and Thorns series by Rae Carson. Finally, I came back to classics such as Wuthering Heights, Jane Eyre and, recently, Emma.

You can see that I read almost anything that cross my hands and the point of this, and of the story I just told you, is that reading a book is not about the author, or how well is written, or how many awards won, is about the way you feel when you finish it. Is how you can get so involved with the characters and the story that you become one of them, and you suffer or laugh with their adventures. Is about the way you want to know more about the universe where the book take place. And finally, is about traveling without leaving your own house, because a book can take you places that you never knew before. For me, this is the essence of READING. And no TV show or social media can do this, at least not with the same strength.

So GRAB A BOOK!!!!, any book - because reading, as dreaming, is NOT overrated!
