A Book Review

I left a book review in Amazon for a book I bought. You know, Amazon encourages us to leave a review. But unless the merchandise was really bad, I just write something simple like: "Shipped quickly, great book." I put absolutely not thought into it.  I read reviews if I'm buying something and I've noticed in books they really go into details. But to be quite honest, I think writing a book review it's sort of pointless. If I like the book, I don't care what you think. I like the book and I'm going to read it. I like to make my own conclusions at the end of the day and I do the same things with movies as well. There are plenty of movies that have low ratings but I actually like. But going back to my original point, this morning I received an e-mail from amazon and someone wrote under my comment: "Well I'm sure Amazon likes your review, but this is supposed to be a book review." So, I being a smart ass, responded by saying: "Oh well Mark, I thought I could write whatever I wanted since well you know it's my review." Which is totally true! I can write whatever I want! It's not like Mark paid for my book, right? But, I didn't want to be entirely rude, so, I told him the two things I didn't like about the book and said I still recommend it. And even added a " :)" at the end.

This whole thing just made me laughed. And I'm definitely not reviewing books anymore!

Los cerebros que se van y el corazon que se queda

El ensayo: “Los cerebros que se van y el corazón que se queda”, de Magali Garcia Rami es magnifico. Me hizo pensar mucho en mí misma porque mi familia inmigró a los Estados Unidos cuando yo apenas tenia 4 años. Lloraba todos los días, extrañando como nadie se imagina a mi país. Especialmente a mi madre que aún seguía allá. A los 22 años que tengo ahora, ya estoy acostumbrada a vivir aquí. Pero no hay día que no piense o hable de mi país y de esa vida cotidiana y tranquila que se vive allá. García Rami menciona en su ensayo que los inmigrantes o cerebros tienden a reunirse hablar de el país que tratan de no añorar y esa es la realidad.               Cada vez que viajo a la Republica me toma unas semanas adaptarme. Ya adaptada, no quisiera regresar a esta país al menos que no sea de visita. Las reuniones entres vecinos, la confianza, y ese precioso mar que nos rodea, me convierte en una persona tranquila y en una persona ...

A Lost Story #NationalNovelWritingMonth2024

 I watched a love story, a telenovela, many years ago.  I was maybe between the ages of 5-7 when they played it on TV. Something about that telenovela has lived forever in my mind. I thought that maybe with technology advancing we could see the story again. After years of waiting, I found the director (I love the power of the internet) and he gave me the terrible news that...unfortunately, the story was lost forever.  I may not be able to watch it again, but I would like to write it down in my own words. This is my project for the rest of 2024 and part of NANO WRIMO 2024. What are you writing about for the month of November?

Quotes From Books I Read:

This quote is one of my favorites from "The Mountain Is You." As I enter the second part of my healing journey it can be difficult to move forward with a positive attitude when things aren't going well. This quote reminds me that difficult times are part of the journey and not to give up! “Your new life is going to cost you your old one. It’s going to cost you your comfort zone and your sense of direction. It’s going to cost you relationships and friends. It’s going to cost you being liked and understood. It doesn’t matter. The people who are meant for you are going to meet you on the other side. You’re going to build a new comfort zone around the things that actually move you forward. Instead of being liked, you’re going to be loved. Instead of being understood, you’re going to be seen. All you’re going to lose is what was built for a person you no longer are.” ―  Brianna Wiest,  The Mountain Is You: Transforming Self-Sabotage Into Self-Mastery
