One of the models I love the most in history and philosophy is the ‘Renaissance man’ or ‘Polymath’, people that through talent and discipline become good at many things and end up mastering skills over a broad range of sciences and crafts. Now that’s a long way to get to that point, but I believe we should always tend to become the best version of ourselves, and we can achieve that on so many levels in both practical and spiritual ways. As usual the path is covered in traps and obstacles, and motivation is not enough if it is not supported by daily discipline...the power source comes from within us, the spark is our will, we then can be fire, and having these concepts in mind we try to push ourself a bit further every day! .
.
I spent the last few months digging design fields I never explored before and building up new skills, and after studying lettering, techniques, lots of research in old books and lots of mistakes and stuff that ended up in the bin I designed my first series of fonts and I’ll release them soon for you guys to enjoy! Stay tuned ⚡️

✿ “if you never try it, you will never know.” — ama’s planner
.
✿ this is exactly what i would say about books too! 👏🏼 LADY SMOKE is the sequel to ASH PRINCESS, and it’s releasing on February 5. (we’re so close) i was sent a copy of ash princess, at first i couldn’t get through it, and i always left it off. but when it was review time, i couldn’t STOP reading (and i had homework assignments due the next day!) 🙈
.
✿ ASH PRINCESS is a beautiful, spellbound novel, where magic and corruption fills its pages. In a world of oppression and discrimination of Astreans, lays secrets and magic, gifted by the gods themselves. It’s an unstoppable book with a unique world of its own, and plot twists when you least expect it. This emotional and nerve-racking story will keep readers awake into the night! (full review on the blog) .
.
✿ comment a book that kept you AWAKE, and you couldn’t stop reading. OR most IMPORTANTLY, which book has the most pretty cover? 😍 (from this post) .

Have you read anything by Fiona Barton? I have not picked up one of her novels yet but I have heard really good things about them! Who's your favorite author of thrillers? I am a huge fan of Clare Mackintosh. Her first book I Let You Go is one my list of all time favorites.

So I just found out that Margaret Atwood is releasing a sequel to The Handmaids Tale called the 'The Testaments'. I know it's not out until September but I'm pretty stoked for it. .
So I started watching the Tv show first and after the first episode I turned it off and went straight to reading the book as I wanted no spoilers. It was such a good idea because believe me the book is very very different from the Tv show. But still a brilliant show to watch.
.
The book was quite scary in the fact that the story line could actually happen right now or near future from the way the world is going. .
The story is based on a world which has been destroyed by radiation and war. Fertility levels have dropped and the US government is made up of radical Christianity and have renamed the country Gilead. Men rule, women have no rights or freedom and must not raise their heads let alone read or write. Any fertile women (Handmaids) are giving to high ranking families which they must lay on their backs once a month with the only purpose to reproduce. .
This book really opened my eyes that the present and possible future could be heading towards this outcome. The novel was written over 30years ago and yet not alot has changed. .
If you don't fancy reading the book even give the show a watch but be prepared it is overwhelming. .
Blessed be the fruit

《RESENHA: TIGER LILY - JODI LYNN ANDERSON》 🌟5/5🌟 {Andrielly}
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🌻 Oii, hoje trago a resenha de um livro bem especial e lindamente triste. Em Tiger Lily vamos para a famosa Terra do Nunca, mas não para acompanhar Peter Pan e os Meninos Perdidos, e sim uma indiazinha forte e determinada, encontrando o amor pela primeira vez.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🌳Tiger Lily é a filha adotiva de Tic Tac, líder da tribo Comedores de Céu. Ela foi acolhida desde de bebê, porém por não se assemelhar as demais meninas da tribo, é alvo de várias brincadeiras e comentários. Sempre com uma pena de corvo nos cabelos, um espírito livre e feroz, ela enfrenta a tudo e à todos de cabeça erguida.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⚓ Certo dia, ao desobedecer as ordens do Xamã e ajudar um estrangeiro inglês naufragado, ela acaba entrando na parte proibida da floresta e conhecendo Peter Pan, o líder dos Garotos Perdidos. Um menino impulsivo, corajoso, encantador, destemido e que juntos, vão descobrir o amor e que ele é mais complicado do que parece. Assim, iniciando uma jornada sobre coragem, determinação e autoconhecimento, com um toque de piratas, fadas e magia, em uma terra onde ninguém envelhece.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
💬"Essa é uma história de amor, mas não como as que você ouviu. O menino e a menina estão longe de ser inocentes."
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⏳Com os capítulos narrados por Sininho, acompanhamos o desenrolar da história, mas também os sentimentos dos personagens, principamente Tiger Lily. A menina tem um personalidade única e que me encantou logo de início, com sua bravura e jeito de ser. Outra que merece destaque é a própria narradora, com a sua curiosidade, empatia e a forma de ler as pessoas, me conquistando ao longo de todo o livro.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⚡Eu sabia logo que vi o lançamento desse livro que eu iria gostar, porém não imaginei o quanto ele poderia ser belo. A autora criou personagens complexos, aqui não há uma divisão entre vilões e mocinhos, todos erram e acertam. Com uma escrita fluída, o livro me surpreendeu a abordar vários temas, como amadurecimento, família, aculturação, preconceito e até mesmo suicídio, mas de uma forma delicada, sutil e bem desenvolvida. Um livro rápido de ler, emocionante e com um final de deixar qualquer coração amolecido.

🏹Ciudad de Hueso de Cassandra Clare🏹
Este es el primer libro de la extensa saga de Cazadores de Sombras.
Nos cuenta la historia de una chica llamada Clary, que un día cuando acude a una fiesta en la discoteca Pandemonium presencia el asesinato de un chico peliazul a manos de una chica y dos chicos con extraños tatuajes, resulta que ellos no son personas normales, son cazadores de sombras, personas que tienen en su sangre sangre de ángel, y que el chico al que mataron era nada más y nada menos que un demonio camuflado con un glamour(magia) para parecer un simple mundano.
A partir de ese momento Clary se mete de lleno en el mundo de los cazadores de sombras y los subterráneos, que así son llamados los hombres lobo, vampíros, demonios… de la mano de los hermanos Lightwood, Alec e Izzy y Jace.
Clary descubre que ella también tiene procedencia nefilim (cazadora de sombras) ya que su madre era una de ellos, pero se lo había ocultado a Clary ya que no quería que se viese involucrada en ese mundo tan oscuro.
Los cazadores de sombras además de poseer sangre angelical usan también una serie de runas, grabadas con estelas en su piel, que les dotan poderes.
Además de enfrentarse a demonios y demás seres monstruosos, Clary tiene que hacer frente a Valentine, el antagonista de esta historia, que quiere robar la Copa Mortal, que es la que da la capacidad a los humanos de convertirse en nefilim y además tiene secuestrada a su madre, que era una vieja conocida de Valentie.
La vida de Clary da un giro de 360 grados: tiene que aceptar su verdadero origen, recuperar la Copa mortal, salvar a su madre y luchar contra demionios y los subterráneos ¿Podrá conseguirlo?
Este es el único libro que me he leído de Cassandra, de momento, pero me gustaría seguir con la saga. A mi este libro me gustó mucho y lo recomiendo a cualquier persona que le gusten las historias de ficción.
3,5/5 ⭐

Once upon a time when I was 10 years of age, I was introduced to Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone and instantly fell in love with reading. A couple of years later and I picked up A Walk To Remember, my first YA and fell further. Suddenly, libraries became my second home. Birthdays and other celebrations consisted of wish lists of books. Suddenly I was buying book after book and there was no stopping me.
When I read a book, I enter a new world, my imagination takes over and the stories take me on an adventure like no other. Nothing makes me more happy than getting comfortable and reading a book.
Young Adults books have my heart, fantasy right after and I like to dabble in chick-lit here and there.
With over 100+ books (the pics are just a few), my collection doesn’t see any signs of stopping.
I like to go back and reread books in-between discovering and starting new ones. So I’m going to use this platform to share and post about my faves...

Good morning or good afternoon or good night 👋 so guys, today I will be doing something different and I hope it works out, I’ll tell you more about it when it’s done. But yesterday I was getting ready for it and this was the result (sort of). I was rearranging my books and I realized I haven’t bought one since... I don’t know, June? God, it’s been a long time.
How often do you buy books? I used to do it very very often but suddenly I stopped because in my country, bookshops stoped existing. That’s a very sad story. We only got garage sales left and like 2 bookshops but they’re very little and don’t bring anything new 😞
