Cute book :-)

Today (yes, we are already in February 2025 - I am just a bit late with my posts :-D ), I heard a work colleague battling between eating or not eating a chocolate. Next week, I will definitely take this book to her - she needs it!

The topic is not the lightest one (addiction and rehab centers) but the reading is entertaining even on such a hard subject (the author herself was alcohol addicted for many years).

From the author of 'Girl Before' and 'Believe me': as its precedents, very good reading.

As all books from J.Jonasson, a joy to read :-)

Book Session: How To Be Successful Without Hurting Men's Feelings

 

How To Be Successful Without Hurting Men's Feelings

Sarah Cooper

Funny but also heartening in showing how much work still needs to be done in diversity. A book for women but, even more so, for men.

 

"When it comes to diversity, perception is as important as reality.

Believes diversity has been solved - 72%

Minorities 28%"

“He will stay, Minerva, because he needs to understand,’ said Dumbledore curtly. ‘Understanding is the first step to acceptance, and only with acceptance can there be recovery.”

This book is as thick as the previous one. When it came out, I remember how eager I was to read it - so nice to read it again :-) Harry's fourth year at Hogwarts.

Book Session: Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets

 Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets

I believe it is the thinner book of the Harry Potter collection (actually, I just checked and it is not: the first one is thinner :-) ), but also the one that I liked least.

I had taken all my Harry Potter books to Brazil some time ago - however, I decided to bring them all back again and read them once more (before donating them). And it is soooo nice to read them again, I'm enjoying it very much :-)

Comprei de presente de Sant Jordi para namorido (Dia dos Namorados na Catalunha - a tradicao é dar um livro de presente), mas fiquei desapontada. A narrativa se arrasta, e eu me puxei para ler até o final. Talvez o outro livro da autora (Our House) seja melhor, mas esse é muito fraco. Nao recomendo.

Mesmo estilo dos livros da Marian Keyes, apesar que com um enredo um pouco monótono.

Aprendi um verbo novo: defenestrar :-)

Parte da série Alex Cross. Parece mais um script de um seriado do que um livro. 

Interessante, mas nao deu vontade de ler mais.
