El camino del arquero by Paulo Coelho
3.75
En verdad tenía una idea muy errónea sobre los libros de Paulo Coelho.
De alguna forma, siento que este libro me acercó a darle un cierre al tema del tiro con arco, el cuál es muy personal para mí. Por lo que me siento un poco realizada por haber logrado leerlo y terminarlo.
Y enfocándome más en el libro, me gustó la simpleza con la que hace sus comparaciones, el significado e intención detrás de cada enseñanza es bastante claro. Y para mí que no me gusta el tener que sobreanalizar los significados para entenderlos se me hizo muy ameno la forma en la que el compartía las enseñanzas.
Me sorprendio mucho pues definitivamente lo había juzgado mal, ahora tengo incluso más curiosidad por leer El Alquimista.

Mi opinión:
Me tomó dos años terminar este libro.
Definitvamente se convirtió en uno de los libros que más tiempo tarde en leer. Primero, lo dejé por qué no tenía lo necesario para hacer las anotaciones que quería y después lo deje por qué no me atrevía a saber cómo terminaba.
Pero me siento bastante orgullosa de mí misma por haber agarrado el coraje de leer las últimas 100 páginas sabiendo que tendría que sufrir junto con los personajes y tendría que aceptar que la historia finalmente llegaba a su fin.
Leer cómo los caminos de algunos personajes se separaban fue horrible, y más por qué llevaba mucho sin leer voluntariamente una historia que me hiciera sentir tantas emociones.
Fue un muy buen libro para comenzar el año. Mi propósito para este año es no leer tanto como el año pasado, pero que sean historias que en verdad me transmitan cosas, que en verdad me hagan adentrarme y vivir toda otra vida por medio de palabras.

My opinion:
I swear I enjoy every book I read of this author.
I just wished she gave us a little more of them being together but I guess no book is perfect.
I loved the unrequited angst from the FMC of thinking he does not love her and then he suffering because he realizes he can't live without him. It's just chef's kiss I love it.

An Alien Crush by Calla Zae

I won't say it was bad just that it was not for me.
Way too cheesy and the comparisons made me cringe way too hard.
This would be perfect for people that enjoy insta-love.

The Wronged Princess by Kae Elle Wheeler
Did not finish book. Stopped at 8%.
Did not finish book. Stopped at 8%.
Writing kept throwing me off and the pace was really slow with lots of what felt as unecessary monologues or descriptions.
I read some comments and they said similar things so I guess I not going to try pushing myself to continue the book.

Until the ending this was a 4☆ book easy, not because it is the best but because it made me feel. And I don't remenber the last time I read something and I felt it.

Standalone, 1st person POV
Tropes:- External conflicts/No 3rd act breakup
- MMC calls FMC baby girl
- Fake dating
- MMC injured
My opinion:This is the type of contemporaries that I don't usually enjoy. I can't exactly pinpoint why but probably it's because it's focused too much on the present, especially with all the mentions of the Covid pandemic but this book was the exception and I actually enjoyed it.
It had quite some issues like the writers event felt a little overlooked as well as the club dynamics. Like I never knew a motorcycle club of 5 members could have all that connections or even be considered a club but meh they were things I could ignore.
Also the moral compass of the characters is quite questionable but I've read even worse characters so
Mainly I think I enjoyed the book because both MCs were quite mature and they were all in since the beginning, miscommunication problems were minimal soo just for that I would give this 4 stars haha
Would I recommend this? Yes!
