Si no hubiese tenido mi cabeza colmada de cosas de la universidad, de las guardias, ansiedad por las clases del doctor Peralta, seminario, más seminario, más seminario, examen más examen más examen, pararme todos los días a las 3am a estudiar ... Hubiese disfrutado esta historia más 💖

LOVE WAS SAVED THANKS TO THIS BOOK 

A GIRL (ME) BELIEVES IN LOVE AND ROMANCE ONCE AGAIN 

Nah but seriously...  I come to this book with 0 hope...  A booktok recommendation that is actually good??? Unbelievable. 

But even when I was a little shocked at the firsts...  What? Maybe 5-6 chapters because the book is written in first person...  The funny, simple and easy way that is narrated is the thing that made this book so loveable... 

This book has so many tropes I really enjoy and meanwhile, I was reading I was thinking "this feels so much like a fanfic?" and I was trying to think WHO fanfic is this...  But then I did not care anymore because I was enchanted by the characters and the story.  

This is what sports should be. 

And not angry and dumb men screaming to a ball...  ANYWAYS 🙄😒

I was saying that I will not continue the saga because: 

1. I have no interest in the first book couple even when  I like them 
2. I don't want to read about hockey right now 

BUT  

THE THIRD BOOK IS ABOUT BASEBALL??? LIKE...  I AM LOVE READ ABOUT BASEBALL ROMANCE SINCE WAITING FOR SPRING CAME TO MY  LIFE!!! THE AUTHOR HAVE GRIP IN ME RIGHT NOW lol 

I gave this book a 4.75 and not 5 because the word P*ussy was used.....  So many times...  And I hate it

Una habitación propia by Virginia Woolf

She said when men should shut the fck up...  And I really respect that 🤭🤫🥰

Mi segundo audio libro del año...  Mi tercer audio libro de todos la vida... Y no fue algo mas que un ensayo feminista de las mujeres y la novela (y como tal las mujeres en la Sociedad)


Lo chevere de este ensayo es  que no los narran  en forma  de  cuento y una ve a una serie de personajes y conversaciones que  no ocurrieron pero que te hacen entender más  la situación  de las mueren  en la época.

Lo malo del ensayo es también la  narración  y el uso  excesivo descripciones...  De verdad que podía pasar párrafo narrando un edificio y yo me quedaba mirando el cielo tratando de comprender lo que me estaba diciendo.

La conclusión de este ensayo es que silas mujeres tuvieramos un espacio propio (una habitación propia de alli viene el nombre duh!) y algún tipo apoyo económico (con la sociedad de hoy eso ya no se puede de la forma que funcionaba en aquel momento)las mujeres pudieran lograr muchas cosas 😍🙌🏾

Pero además de eso...  La otra conclusión se llega en este ensayo es que muchos hombres tienen la obsesiónde hablar de cosas que ni conocen del cuerpo femenino y de la psique femenina

"las mujeres nunca hubiesen podido escribir los clásicos que tenemos hoy en día" OBVIAMENTE JOSE ANTONIO SI LAS MUJERES EN ESA ÉPOCA ESTABAN CON LOS NIÑOS O ENCLAUSTRADAS EN LA SALÍA SIENDO LA ESPOSA MODELO...  Y CADA VEZ QUE SE SALÍAN DE LA NORMA LAS CRITICABAN HASTA MORIR
