...Hello Ivana, I hope you had a fantastic weekend! <br /><br />I also spent some time creating but not from 9 to 9... I am impressed! But I totally get your point, creative work takes time and sometimes I feel that Instagram makes us believe that we have to create quickyl, in fact there are a lot of things involved in the process.<br /><br />Thanks for all these recommendations! First time I am hearing about them. By the way I am amazed by all the diversity of books you always share, maybe you can create a post with your tips to read more books in the future :) Right now I am reading Americanah by Chimamanda Adichie and a Catalan novel going in three different seasons. But taking this into account as usual.<br /><br />About your dissapointing reading I usually stop if I don't like them. Back in the day I used to finish every book I start, but then I came to the conclusion that life is to short and that there are many great books around there haha<br /><br />Pablo<br /><a href="https://heyfungi.com/" rel="nofollow">Hey Fungi</a><br />Pablo Parra (Fungi)https://www.blogger.com/profile/01138791843308961302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4850565263129103413.post-29215217213709771732021-05-04T01:44:23.617-07:002021-05-04T01:44:23.617-07:00I don't think you should feel bad for not enjo...I don't think you should feel bad for not enjoying a book. Usually I stop reading if a book is not to my liking and this is the only reasons I rarely give less than 2.5-3 stars. <br />Hopefully the next ones you are going to read are going to be better. xxAncahttps://ancaslifestyle.co.uk/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4850565263129103413.post-17398441284861094762021-05-03T17:24:58.775-07:002021-05-03T17:24:58.775-07:00Oh WOW that is a long time to spend painting I am ...Oh WOW that is a long time to spend painting I am impressed! I spend a lot of time working on my photography and video editing so I get it. You know I don't read much fiction I find so much of it predictable. I like to read books based on history or biographies. Right now I am reading two books one about the Romanovs and one about the life of a psychic, very different lol!<br /><br />Allie of<br />www.allienyc.comALLIE NYChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05974471159804567849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4850565263129103413.post-81974658886073665022021-05-03T13:53:20.547-07:002021-05-03T13:53:20.547-07:00Really lovely portait and very interesting romance...Really lovely portait and very interesting romance, I am considering giving it a chance since I see you are an avid reader of good books.

The older I get I tend to like many of the books I read less and less. I wasn't fond of the dialogue in Mexican Gothic and it gave me a few nightmares too. Anxious People just made me anxious for it to be over. Great to see the signs of springs. I am sure May will be delightful.

I d...I enjoyed your negative reviews, ha ha, Ivana! I don't have an issue with westerns, but I do find too much (or too little) dialogue problematic, and I really do not like it when the characters have no development. I'm a feminist, but I don't mind books that don't have a ton of female characters, but is it too much to ask they actually get some agency instead of being foils for the men? I read a similar self-help book as it was a Book Club pick, and I LOATHED it. <br /><br />The Man Who Knew Everything sounds really good. I like genre-defying books! <br /><br />I just finished reading "Zoey Punches the Future in the Dick" by David Wong, a sequel to "Futuristic Violence and Fancy Suits" - it was fun, but was missing that character development too. Right now I'm reading "Promise at Dawn", and autobiography by Romaine Gary from 1961, and it's wonderful. His writing is funny and clever and he tells a good story. I would recommend it, and I'm going to look for novels by him.

On top of the time you devote to your amazing artwork, and the number of books you read, you still find the time to blog about these and other subjects too! I'd be utterly exhausted!<br />Anyway, thank you for sharing your reviews of these books. The Man Who Knew Everything sounds like an intriguing read. I'm hearing you on Resolution, as Western genre isn't my cup of tea either. But if there's one type of books that I absolutely abhor, it's self-help ones of any kind. Even the thought of them makes me cringe! I'm absolutely amazed that you even finished it.

None of these sound like my kind of thing, but I have been trying some new books at the library and I'm excited to read them! I read one I was sure I was going to like and it was SO BAD. I kept reading hoping it would get better but it really didn't, I was just frustrated at the end of it. No idea why it was a best seller. Luckily I liked the next book I read much better! :)<br /><br />Hope that you had a good weekend. It's been a nice relaxing long weekend for us :)<br /><br /><a href="https://awayfromtheblue.blogspot.com.au" rel="nofollow">Away From The Blue</a> Micahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06858487062882928298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4850565263129103413.post-11509183315700582262021-05-03T03:47:28.891-07:002021-05-03T03:47:28.891-07:00Great post dear!Photos are amazing !
