Other people will suck the reality off you sometimes, make you suddenly self conscious of who and what you are. And there’s nothing wrong with that. Let the feeling wash over you, accept it, and move on past it.

P.S.: Welcome our new partner Amo Cachorros! It’s a Brazilian blog about pets that has some lovely posts about dogs and makes me smile whenever I read it.

+ Neil Slorance made a 5 tips for finding inspiration with drawings and all. Very useful and pretty to look at.

+ I’m in love with all the cards from this so LittleSketchyCards on Etsy <3

+ Finished reading Shiver on Monday. It has love and paranormality (everything I girl could ask for right) and although the description of Sam doesn’t match to my imaginary Sam I’ll continue to imagine him as Steven Strait anyway. #repressedJacobfeelings

+ Birthday was good on Wednesday. I had my first surprise party with purple balloons and everything!

+ Dad gave me money for present and I have no idea what I want to buy. I want a horse but I don’t think I have enough to buy one hehehe!

+ I’m was looking for pretty ideas to decorate my bedroom and stumbled upon Christina Aguilera’s house photos. Honestly? I didn’t like her house. There’s so much information. I feel  suffocated just by looking.

+ Can you please follow me on bloglovin so I know that you love me?

I’ve read a review of this book and it seemed the kind of book I’d like to read. I wouldn’t judge it by the cover cause I think this cover quite childish and…not good enough. Brazilian’s cover is quite pretty though.

The first thing that kept my attention is that the book has two first-person narrators, Grace and Sam, so it never gets boring. Sam is a werewolf that spends the winter as a wolf and summer in his human form. The wolves in this story transform themselves when it gets too cold. And Grace is just the normal girl with family problems and a fascination for wolves and  one yellow-eyed wolf in particular that always whatches her from the forest outside her house.

Shiver is mostly a love story than a paranormal tale and leaves a lot more to be told in Linger (which I already began reading). I missed reading a book that made me want to read it all the time and Shiver definitely has that I-NEED-TO-KNOW-WHAT’S-HAPPENING-NEXT factor.

It’s inevitable comparing it with Twilight cause it’s quite similar to it in its light reading, clever dialogues and paranormal tales. If you liked Twilight you’ll probably enjoy reading this as well. I did enjoy it and can’t wait to review next Maggie’s book here!

Livro: Calafrio

Autora: Maggie Stiefvater

Eu li uma resenha desse livro e me pareceu o tipo de livro que eu gostaria de ler. Eu não julgaria o livro pela capa se eu fosse vocês porque essa capa me parece tão infantil e… não boa o bastante. Mas a capa de Calafrio aqui no Brasil é bem legal.

A primeira coisa que me achamou atenção no livro é o fato de existirem dois narradores, Grace e Sam, e por essa razão a dinâmica é interessante e os capítulos nunca ficam chatos. Sam é um lobisomem que passa o inverno como lobo e o verão em sua forma humana. Os lobos nesta história se transformam quanto o clima fica frio. Já Grace é apenas uma garota normal com problemas na família e um fascínio por lobos especialmente um lobo de olhos amarelos que sempre a observa da floresta próxima à sua casa.

Calafrio é mais uma história de amor que um conto paranormal que deixa muita história para ser contada no próximo livro Linger (que eu já comecei a ler). Eu estava sentindo falta de ler um livro que me fizesse querer lê-lo o tempo todo e Shiver definitivamente tem esse fator EU-QUERO-SABER-O-QUE-VAI-ACONTECER-AGORA.

É inevitável não compará-lo a Crepúsculo porque eles são bem similares na leitura leve, nos dialogos inteligentes e nos contos paranormais. Se você gostou de Twilight irá provavelmente curtir esse livro também. Eu gostei bastante e não vejo a hora de acabar de ler Linger pra escrever outra resenha aqui!

RATING: ★★★★★

If we only wanted to be happy, it would be easy; but we want to be happier than other people, which is almost always difficult, since we think them happier than they are.

By the way, I recommend their album Victorious. It’s hard to pick a favourite song among such great tunes!
