Frases indiscutivelmente verdadeiras

''(...) o modo como a malha do tempo se altera e começo a sentir-me em casa no passado e uma mera visitante nesta estranha e apagada experiência a que se convencionou chamar o presente."

Experiência: Trust the mess


A minha experiência não tão elaborada como a dela, pois não preparei os objetos antes de começar a contabilizar o tempo, mas gostei.

Até breve

A Good Yarn, de Debbie Macomber

Pessoas com problemas reais no seu dia a dia. Gostei.
Sinopse:
Lydia Hoffman owns the shop on Blossom Street. In the year since it opened, A Good Yarn has thrived and so has Lydia. A lot of that is due to Brad Goetz. But when Brad's ex-wife reappears, Lydia is suddenly afraid to trust her newfound happiness.
Three women join Lydia's newest class. Elise Beaumont, retired and bitterly divorced, learns that her onetime husband is reentering her life. Bethanne Hamlin is facing the fallout from a much more recent divorce. And Courtney Pulanski is a depressed and overweight teenager, whose grandmother's idea of helping her is to drag her to seniors'swim sessions and to the knitting class at A Good Yarn.

Boas leituras.

The beach bar, de Kate MacCabe

 Leitura propícia para o verão, leve e divertida, e devo dizer que lá para o meio prende mais o leitor, no inicio perde-se um pouco devido ao ritmo lento do desenrolar das personagens e suas histórias e bagagem.
 Após esta parte desejamos saber o que acontecerá com o bar e suas pessoas, algumas das ligações conseguimos adivinhar mas o fim não, qual será o futuro do bar da Emma?
Sinopse:

Pedro’s bar in Fuengirola on the Costa del Sol is a hotspot for holidaymakers enjoying sun, sea, sand and fun. For years it has been run by local woman Maria who rarely sees the Irish owner from one summer to the next. But things are about to change.
Now Maria has an assistant, Kevin Joyce from Galway. He is escaping the ‘trap’ of his family’s business in favour of working in the sun, and he’s not the only one. Maria had better get ready because more Irish are about to touch down in this seaside paradise.
Emma Dunne, a successful businesswoman from Dublin, spent her twenties running her father’s printing company with plenty of hard work but little fun. Now she has a reason to celebrate as she takes over the ownership of Pedro’s Bar, but has she been given a poisoned chalice? Mark Chambers, a successful advertising executive, has come to Spain to overcome a personal tragedy and find a reason to enjoy life again. And Claire Greene who, much to the chagrin of her mother, passed over a legal career to sell Spanish property, has some unfinished business to deal with.
Each hopes Fuengirola will give them a new lease of life, but they soon get more than they bargained for.
