RAMTHA

“Yaşlanma” sözcüğünü lügatınızdan çıkarın. Yaşlanma düşüncesi her hücreye düşük frekanslı elektrik kıvılcımı gönderir. Elektrik hızı yavaşladıkça bedenin çevikliği azalır. Çünkü bedenin kendini yenileme ve onarma yeteneği azalır. Böylece yaşlanma başlar ve bunu bedenin ölümü izler.

Bedeninizin kendini iyileştirebileceğini bildiğiniz anda, bu düşünce zarar görmüş bölüme, merkezi sinir sistemi yoluyla büyük bir elektrik kıvılcımı gönderir. Bu her hücredeki DNA faktörünün, hücreyi kusursuz bir biçimde kopyalamasına ve yenilemesine neden olur. Hem de kusursuz bir şekilde…

Alıntı…

“Against you I fling myself, unvanquished and unyielding, O death! The waves broke on the shore.”

The Waves, Virginia Woolf (1931).

🎃Domingo, 25 de Octubre 2020🎃

Hoy cambio de horario jejeje

No se siempre he pensado que la vida es para lograr tus metas y disfrutarlos. Siempre he pensado eso.

Que cumplas los sueños que quieres. En el día siempre va a ver algo que tengamos encerrado. O que no nos deje avanzar, eso siempre me ha pasado. Pienso mucho en el futuro pero nunca disfrutamos en el momento Presente. Siempre te dicen trabaja para esto o estudia para esto. Pero llegas a eso que luchaste te quedas pensado como lo disfrutaré porque ahora debo que pesnasar para cuando esté viejo.

Yo se que debemos que dejar a aprender a soltar cosas y dejar las cosas que nos hace daño. En el día también debemos que dejar de pensar en eso para tener más tranquilidad.

Hoy pensé muchas cosas que pasan a mi alrededor y que es lo que quiero hacer en estos años. Quiero ser una persona que influencie en muchas personas que se motiven que si están pasando por un mal momento ellas sepan que siempre va a haber un arcoíris esperándolos.

Quiero enseñarles que la vida no es nada de rencores, nada de eso. Que tú nunca vas a quedarte ahí en ese estado, que debes que luchar por eso.

Ultimante me tome dos meses o tres que no subo post a mi Instagram de estudio, porque no estoy motivada a subir. Si quiero trabajar de eso, quiero motivar a la gente a crear su arte, ha hacer sus cosas que les gusten. Que nadie tiene derecho a criticar o opinar en su vida.

Estoy feliz en estos momentos que no subo muchas cosas, quiero tomarme mi espacio y ver que es lo que realmente quiero transmitir a la gente. Quiero hacerlo con amor aunque plane mis apuntes o mi Journal. Siempre quiero ser de ese estilo y escribir. Me ha encanto leer desde que tengo memoria, aunque antes no sabía leer, me gusta mucho y quiero transmitir eso en mis libros una parte de mi , de todo lo que he vivido y todo lo que pienso. Las cosas que he echo pero siempre con cosas reales.

Soy una persona feliz que se ama y tiene todo.

Que tiene muchos deseos por cumplir y no se va a rendir hasta lograrlo.

25.October.2020 - SUNDAY MORNINGS

*satisfied sigh*

I love pancakes! Almost as much as books. I always try out new recipes and today I discovered a new favorite. Unfortunately I had no maple syrup at home, than it would have been perfect. But I enjoyed it anyway. Sunday morning, books, tea and pancakes. *sigh* wonderful. *nom nom nom nom*

Yeah, I tried again to do some book photography. I think it got better this time. What do you think?

Btw:“These Broken Stars” is really good.

Is it too much to ask that someone do a full, 10 page character analysis on me?!

🌿 Günaydın! Güne bir bardak sıcacık çay ile başlamak iyidir.

Good morning! ☀️

What are some of your favourite October reads? 🤔📖

I received WATCH HOLLOW book 1 & 2 from the author and I’m so happy I had the chance to read these two great books! I really wanted to showcase them because they have such creepy and memorable covers! 📚📚

These were very quick reads full of fun mysteries and magic! I highly recommend it for the reader who doesn’t want to be too scared, but is okay with stories that have spooky bits! 🤗📖

Happy Sunday!  🌧

Today is a gloomy day and so it’s perfect for reading.   

Do y’all like the rainy weather? I used to dread the rain but I find myself falling for the calming effects it has on me while reading. Thunderstorms on the other hand … That’s a different story 😅  

I’m still reading Legendborn and I’m really liking it. I’m so intrigued that I just NEED to know how it’s going to go! Although, I’m not going to lie the world building or rather the secret societies is still a bit confusing to me but I’ll eventually get it.  

Title: A Game of Fate
Author: Scarlett St. Clair
Series: Hades Saga #1
Publication Date: September 18, 2020
Pages: 373
My Rating: 4 out of 5 stars

This is a continuation of my current Hades and Persephone obsession. I was about to dive into the sequel, but I definitely had to read this one first once I found out it was a retelling of the first book from Hades’ perspective. I was definitely curious to see his actual inner thoughts and what he was doing when he wasn’t with Persephone.

 
Pros: Overall, this book made me like Hades even more. The portrayal of him was true to the first book. the story was executed well, and we go to see more of the universe the story takes place in. It was really fun to read how everything played out from his perspective and the stuff he had going on during the first story. There are definitely a lot of events that were going on behind the scenes that we had no idea about and they added to the story. Plus, it was different to read a romance novel from the guys perspective.

Cons: It can get a little repetitive because a lot of it did happen in the first one. Even though it is being told from a different perspective, we do know what is going to happen from having read the first one. Also, it became very clear that the gods do not get along and it seems to be Hades versus everyone else, which is something that I didn’t really like. It is the typical choice that the majority go with when doing this particular retelling and it’s definitely not one of my favorite takes on the story. 

Owned?: Yes
Page count: 244
My summary: Zach, Alice, and Poppy have played the game for a long time. The game where they’re pirates, and they go on quests and steal stuff and sail the seas for the Queen. Sure, the pirates are just action figures, and the Queen is just a doll, but it’s fun. But one day, the doll appears to Poppy in her dreams. And now, she’s giving them a real quest.
My rating: 3/5
My commentary:

Doll Bones! I picked this up entirely on a whim. I know of Holly Black from the Spiderwick Chronicles, though I’ve never read any of her work bar a vampire themed YA novel called The Coldest Girl in Coldtown (short verdict: it had some issues but I enjoyed it). This is a novel for kids, something I wasn’t aware of when I went into it (I think I was expecting a teen audience) which probably marred my enjoyment a little bit. Still, I had a pretty good time with this, overall.

Keep reading

Thank you for tagging me, @balaenabooks!! This looks so fun. 

1. “Thrice the brinded cat hath mew’d.” Recommend a book with a cat in it.

So many I can think of, but my favorite one is “Felidae” by  Akif Pirinçci. It’s about a cat named Francis who investigates a string of slaughtered cats in Germany. 

2. “Harpier cries ‘Tis time, ‘tis time.” What is the next book you plan to read?

My TBR is a mile long, but I plan on reading “H is for Hawk” by Helen Macdonald next. 

3. “Round about the cauldron go” Recommend a book that took you a long time to read. 

It took me forever to read “Journey to the Center of the Earth” by Jules Verne. The story was really good at first, but it kept getting slower and slower with lots of whining from our narrator. 

4. “Eye of newt and toe of frog” Recommend a book from your childhood OR recommend a gross book. 

Ok, so “The Hellbound Heart” by Clive Barker had some really descriptive and unsettling murderish scenes in it. I’m not faint of heart, but that totally made me shiver. 

5. “Make the gruel thick and slab” Recommend a book over 400 pages.

“The Book Thief” by Markus Zusak is SO good and when you read it, it doesn’t feel like it’s over 400 pages. I highly recommend reading it. 

6. “Double, double toil and trouble/ Fire burn and cauldron bubble” Recommend any book you like. 

Any book I like, you say? Then, I definitely recommend “Norse Mythology” by Neil Gaiman. If you have any interest in mythology or just good storytelling, this is a great account of some of the more popular Norse myths.

Just fun, so I’m tagging @nosyreader! If this looks like something you’d like to do, then totally tag me when you do it!
