Landline by Rainbow Rowell


There's not much to say about it. 
I started it with the idea that it'd be a hell of a great reading but it didn't make it for me... it was just a definite ahemm....nope. 
It has a good base, it makes us laugh a few times due to the principal character's paranoia ( which I believe it's based on the author nevertheless) and the effect it gives the phone allowing us the fiction and magical part was pretty good, really, but guess it could have used it in a better way making it more complex and such. 
Maybe for a married couple would have a different meaning because the book gives you the prerogative of "what would have happened if you 2 wouldn't have married?" so yeah it has a pretty good argument.
But I insit it could have been way better with a bit more of drama. 
Was an easy and fast reading.


Not too many quotes I like in here...sorry.

Book of Joy by His Holiness the Dalai Lama and archbishop Desmod Tutu


I never believe that readin this kind of books would help me in some way, but I was terribly wrong...this book will stay with me for a very long time in my heart We all have had troubles in life, we all have suffered or have experienced something very unpleasant, but the way this book talks to you, not like a singleminded teacher or an empty person or a voice that you only listen as if they wouldn't care a bit about you, no this book treats the reader as if they were the most special element of this book and tries to reach to them in a way so intrinsecal that you can recognize yourself in everysingle thing they tell to you.

I have underlined a lot of thing in this book, that has been very difficult picking up which ones were going to be here in my review so, at the end i came up with these ones:

This is pretty much like the buddhist hakuna matata in general and one of the most respected and known principle of their all religion.

I mean if someone really pays it attention will realize that everything sumarizes up in it, because there is no single reason for us to worry or even get angry, for factors that escape our control.
"If there's no way to overpass the tragedy, there's no sense to worry about it"
Besides, happiness is not what everything has lead us to think, everything turning about material or academical success no, but more important is about the real YOU.

 This book have a lot of beautiful phrases that would take a lot of time trying to put them in here so, I think that I will do best and leave you the authors to explain you in their very own words what this book is about.



But for me I can really say, that this reading open my eyes and made me realize about thing I've been doing right and those I've been doing wrong and consolate me in ways no one in bone and flesh have ever done before. 

Loved it.
