Books With Lennon 📚

Hello readers, and welcome back to my blog. This is the first time I am rewriting a post because I erased everything I did by mistake and the Blogger platform kindly saved exactly when I deleted everything by accident. I was a little upset, not going to lie, but just because this is going to be a long post. I officially and definitively moved back to writing on Google Docs and then putting the text back to blogger. It’s going to be our secret. I have been away for longer than I had in the past. Even though this blog has only started, every time I finish a new post, I have a strong sense of completion that makes it worth it, and makes me feel like I should post regularly — a fictional demand for a reader of fictional books. The reason why I have been away is a noble one. I am having my mom visit me in Canada for the first time. She has been enjoying the city a lot and getting to know the ways of the quiet life in Moncton, New Brunswick. As this is her first time spending a few months in

“What were you before you met me?" "I think I was drowning" "And what are you now?" "Water"   ― Ocean Vuong, On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous   Hello everybody, and welcome back to my blog. Today, I want to share one of the most beautiful books I have ever read and advance a little more on the story of my reading journey. As I mentioned in my previous post, I read Identity by Milan Kundera and Choke by Chuck Palahniuk ; I am looking into reading authors that I am familiar with and have already read before. The idea was that going through previously known writers would be a way to make sure I would finish the book. However, the reason I chose to read this one was a little different. In my first post on this blog, My Journey as a Reader , I mentioned how finding the BookTube and Indie Writer’s community on YouTube, both filled with so many people passionate about reading, did make me feel like literature, and the love

A brief introduction Hello everybody, and welcome back to my blog. As I mentioned in my last post, My Journey as a Reader , I have made reading daily a big deal, I can say it’s now my lifetime goal, and I'm here to share my readings with you. I have already told you guys my story, and I have always been someone who enjoys reading, doing it more or less often, but loving it regardless. One more thing to have in mind, I have always had many books at home, I liked them from a young age, and my mom has always made sure that I would have them available to read. During my time studying Literature at the university, my book collection grew even more. As I also mentioned in my previous post, back in 2019, when I moved from Brazil to Canada, I sold every book I had. I used the money to help with fees, and I immigrated to Canada " bookless ". I realized that having a massive number of books around the house was relatively inefficient; however, nobody told me what to do with the emo

    Hello readers, Welcome to my blog! To start things up, I wanted to share my journey as a reader and how I decided to make reading daily my lifetime goal. Like many others, I learned how to read in school, but I have always been especially interested in books. When I was a kid, I remember watching my mother spend many hours of her weekends reading books seemed to be such an exciting way to spend time. To make me join her during reading time, she would buy packs of comic books and take them home to read to me.  I was always interested in the stories on every comic she'd read, and I always asked her to read the same stories repeatedly. I listened to the stories just so many times. While looking at the pictures in the comics, I memorized what happened on every page. Later on, I'd gather my cousins around and tell them that I had learned how to read; I'd flick through the pages and tell them the story I had memorized from beginning to end. In my head as a kid, it was so cool
