this is one of the best books i’ve ever read, and it’s gonna haunt me for years to come, both in good and bad ways. i loved that it isn’t predictable at all, and i found myself wondering what other crazy event was to come, yet they were even crazier than what my mind could imagine. maybe it has to do with the fact that richard is a very unreliable narrator. that combined with the characters’ complexity made the plot extraordinary. this book takes so many turns, not only in plot but also in dynamics, relationships and character. we got to see all the good and bad parts of the characters, how they act when happy, how they manage under stress, how they go through grief and betrayal, how they act when faced with moral problems. they are far from perfect, which is why they are perfect characters. i felt completely immersed in this story, i swear i could describe hampden college as if i had been a student there. donna writes with so much depth, descriptions and prose that it is nearly impossible to not feel touched by it. the final part of the book was a true rollercoaster and a progression of disturbing moments, i think those are the ones that will haunt me forever. the rawness of humanity and how incomprehensible it is, the doubts and the suspicions which will never be answered.

along with my lab colleagues and our professor, we went o the mangrove on campus to collect soil samples for microbiological research. i never would’ve guessed there was a mangrove and a river behind campus hahah

my favorite song of this album❤️‍🩹

this morning was dedicated for the making of culture medium and plating the inoculum we got from mangrove. i’m excited to see what will grow out of it!

under the pretext of having our first book club meeting to decide our first book and the year’s schedule, my friend and i - our third friend couldn’t come because of her studies :( - gossiped the whole afternoon, ordered takeout and played try not to laugh while watching white chicks, our punishment was to drink a shot of tequila hahah. my cheeks are hurting from laughing so hard<3

i loooovvvveeeeee watching concerts at the movies<3 (nothing compared to the real thing, but i am grateful for these opportunities since kpop groups rarely come to south america) this is the third enhypen concert i’ve watched and they keep outdoing themselves every time. i love their stage scenery and the designs on the led screens for each of the songs, their production team always does an amazing job. enhypen is also such good performers!!! they gave their all in every song, interacted with fans so sweetly and kept up the energy through the whole show. i loved the setlist, though i missed songs like moonstruck, polaroid love and outside. having shared this moment with my friend and a new one made it all even more special🤍

mamis fez esfihas com uma receita que achou no instagram e elas ficaram incríveis!!! gostinho de esfiha de esfiheria mesmo, já tô esperando a próxima vez que ela vai fazer rsrs♥️

this book is so cute!!!🥹🥹🥹 it pains me to say this though, but i think the show is better than the book (i can feel an angel losing their wings). i think the way they changed the placements of some dialogues and inserted more scenes of the side characters who are part of ilya and shane’s lives made the couple’s development better and also gave more depth to them. i’m so excited to read the long game!!!!!!!

eu sempre vou aos mesmos cafés então hoje eu e mamis decidimos mudar rs. o ambiente é super bonitinho e agradável, apesar do calor do verão na área externa bate bastante vento, então não ficamos com calor. a música ambiente era uma playlist de bossa nova super gostosa! ambientação 10/10! o cardápio tem muitas opções e eu fiquei quase 10 minutos tentando decidir o que ia comer rsrs, geralmente eu sempre peço café gelado, salgados que tenham frango e uma sobremesa bem chocolatuda, mas dessa vez diversifiquei um pouco. ultimamente eu tô apaixonada por maracujá, então estou pedindo qualquer coisa que tenha a fruta nos lugares onde vou rsrs. suco de maracujá: 3⭐️ - achei meio aguado e não tava tão geladinho (🥲) quiche caprese: 4⭐️ - bem gostosa, mas pequena, pelo preço acho que deveria ser maior bolo de maracujá e chocolate meio amargo: 4.75⭐️ - um dos melhores bolos que já comi em cafés, mas o mousse de maracujá do bolo tava muito fraco, não dava pra sentir a fruta. a geleia que acompanha que supriu o sabor. waffle com nutella: 3⭐️ - simples que funciona, mamis pediu porque comia muito waffle na infância e sentiu saudades, falou que lembrou da época (mesmo não tendo nutella quando ela era criança rs). porém, achamos um fio de cabelo na nutella 😬, se não fosse por isso seriam 5 estrelas. geral: 3.5⭐️ conclusão: pratos bons com algumas ressalvas, mas preço salgado! acho que tanto pelo preço como pela estética que o café oferece os comes e bebes deveriam ser de um padrão igual. a experiência foi até boa, mas talvez só volte daqui uns 3 meses depois que me recuperar financeiramente🫠

i would commit crimes for yeosang

my comfort show<3 going seventeen is my escape from the chaos of daily life, they never fail to make me laugh

i’m so excited ro finally read thissss

i think this is my 5th or 6th time reading this book and it still warms my heart as if it’s the first time <3

i’m sure this show was made to make the audience cry. i was tearing up in every episode. the show is so well written that even though the whole season covers only one day it never feels boring or stagnant. i loved all the characters, but mel is my all time favorite, i wanna put her in my pocket and protect her from the world <3

this is gonna be my personality for the rest of the year

this had everything to be a 5⭐️ show, but the story lost itself in the second half. a lot of loose ends, unnecessary scenes and waste of character development. it had a really good premise but the writers couldn’t use it properly.

i need this show injected in my veins.

this show was a true rollercoaster. it got me stuck to the screen through all its episodes. i switched my opinions of both characters so many times through it, from love to hate, which highlighted the characters’ complexity and depth. the ending was really surprising to me and one of my favorite ever.

i picked up this movie thinking it would be a pretty scary, frightening, nail-biting one, and while some scenes were pretty tense, i didn’t feel scared until the literal last minutes of the movie. i liked the way it was recorded, it seems more intimate, makes the audience feel like part of the story.
