book: Whose life is it anyway?

I just finished this irish book by Sinéad Moriarty, "Whose life is it anyway?" and it's beautiful. it's about how an Irish girl with close-minded parents falls in love witha black guy. As I'm a foraign living in Ireland I can see and tell the inconcious racism that exists in this country. anyways, I wouldn't say "racism", i would just say "ignorance". it was my first time reading an Irish book - I think - and I'm actually surprised, in a good way. It such a good book that got me since the very first moment, and I just couldn't stop reading it. I thought it was going to be cheesy and dramatic but it wasn't at all.

The silver linings play book

Hello guys!
Today I camed up with this book that I just finished. It's called "The silver linings playbook". And I'm pretty sure that you all know about the movie based on this book. Well, I personally didn't that it was based on a book. In fact, when I started reading this book I didn't know that it was the story from the movie (as the movie is called on a different way in spanish).
 The book was GREAT, much better than the movie, honestly (as always). Don't get me wrong, I actually love the movie so much, but in the book it was easier to understand that the main character has a mental disorder as the book is written from his point of view.
 It's so, so different from the movie. It's not even like they have deleted things from the book to the screem, they just changed the whole story at some points, wich freaked me out so much because as I already watched the movie I (thought I) knew what was going to happen next.
Well, I actually recommend you all to read it as is a very good book.

Do you usually prefer the book rather than the movie? Let me know!

book: the fault in our stars

Ok, this is the last book I've been reading. I finished it about a week ago now, and...

 Well, I've heard amazing stuff about the fault in our stars, but, in my opinion, is not that amazing. And it's not like I had a high expectation about it and I'm disappointed now, because I barely expect anything from books, and I definetly never judge them before reading them just because of the things people says about them (sorry if I sometimes say things in a weird way, is just that I can't find any other way to express myself), because everyone is different with books, like, for me, all the books are good, is just that some of them are just not for me.
 So when I started the fault in our stars, I was amazed because of it's sweetness. It's incredibly emotional, and so, so witty. It just combines perfectly banter and tenderness, in a way that makes you feel so close to the characters, that makes you feel like they feel, and ah. It's amazing.
 But then, around the half of the books, everything turns just kinda of boring. Like, it's just another book about kids with cancer (it's not like I don't like books about them, I actually do love them, is just that it's no big deal...).
 Anyways, things turn better for me at the end of the book (not going to spoil you guys!), so I'm going to think that John Green just got uninspired for a time while writting the book.
 It was the first time I read a book by John Green so I can't tell If it's his masterpiece... but I'm looking forward to read "looking for alaska" and I'll read it, probably sometime soon. Because the truth is that, even if it's not my favourite book, it's a really good book, and it has great quotes, wich I love.

I want to know something...
How many of my readers actually know me in the real life? Cause like, I haven't told anyone about the blog. Ahh, that would be embarrasing.

random thursdays: book: little bird.

Little bird is the last book I'm reading and I actually love it so bad. It's a little bit hard to read (as you get it you think it's gonna be a book for children but actually I can tell you it's not. But it's such a tender and sweet book, full of love, that will surprise you in every single page.
 It's about the live of a girl who is stolen from her mum at the age of two, that lives in a forest just having human contact with a deaf man for 10 years, and then it's found, living in new york, london, founding love in a man who loves her with all his hearth. Just when everything seems to be pacific at last in little bird's (also know as Elodie or Kate) live, actually terror has just begun.
 The only thing I don't like about this book it's that kind of always-perfect-main charachter. It's not as bad as in some other books I've read but I hate them anyways!
