Como tudo começou

Um belo dia eu estava no facebook e vi um post de uma amiga que tinha um link para uma página de blog que falava sobre a "Unha filha única", eu resolvi clicar e acabei gostando da ideia, achei super diferente e resolvi testar! Esse estilo de unha é muito simples de fazer, basta colorir uma unha com a cor diferente das outras, pode ser qualquer dedo, mas o exemplo que eu vi a primeira vez foi no dedo anelar, então eu resolvi fazer igual, pintei as unhas de rosa e os dedos anelares de azul.

Algumas pessoas me perguntavam o que a unha azul significava, e eu dizia que simplesmente tinha visto essa ideia na internet e achei legal.

Na semana seguinte eu fiz um outro estilo diferente de unha e resolvi postar a foto no face, a partir daí toda semana eu comecei a fazer uma unha diferente, e como eu sempre tive vontade de fazer um blog, resolvi fazer um pra postar as fotos!

Espero que gostem!

Bjos

Blog novo!

Eu sei que esse blog era só para eu postar a book review do coming attractions, mas como eu já estava com vontade de fazer um blog com as fotos das minhas unhas, resolvi usar esse mesmo, achei que seria divertido fazer um blog sobre isso, portanto aqui está. Vai ser no mínimo interessante, isso eu garanto! Eu ainda estou aprendendo como que mexe em tudo, so bare with me everybody!

My book review

I know I was supposed to write a book review a loong time ago,(better late them never right?hehe) I kept postponing it because I didn`t really love the ending, and I didn`t love how most of the story turned out either, I liked it, just didn`t completely loved it. So, I was afraid I would spoil everything, or give people the wrong impression of this book.

Let me start by saying that it`s a really good book, I just thought the story was going to be at least 90% different than it turned out to be. But that`s just me, like I said in the last post, I practically grew up with these characters, so I would think I knew a little bit about them.
Turns out there`s more to them than I realized, in fact I couldn`t really recognize them in most parts, they seemed like different people, maybe that`s how they`re supposed to seem anyway, since they`re growing up and persuing their carrers and marriages, and things like that.

This book gave me all sort of emotions, and I really mean that, it made me feel happy, very happy, sad, angry, in disbelief, in denial, in complete disbelief to some of the things I was reading...haha Every part made me feel a different way.

But that`s good I think, it certainly made the book very memorable to me, I`m sure I`ll read it again, slower this time, trying to appreciate the story a little more, and then I`m sure the new storyline will grow on me for good....hehe

Robin is a terrific writer and I`ll always love her and her books, even if they don`t turn out the way I expected. I definetely recommend this book, and all of Robin`s books, especially the Christy Series, who have a special place in my heart.

I can`t wait to see if Robin is ever writing about these characters again, I don`t know, but I sure hope so. Even if she comes up with some crazy story for them, after this book, I`m ready to read anything.

Getting started

(I thought it's funny how the name of my first post is getting started... is not creative at all, I bet most people put that tittle on their first post, but I wasn't sure of what to put so I went with the obvious...)
Anyway, I'm starting this blog so I can review the book "Comming Attractions" by Robin Jones Gunn. They publisher is sending me a free copy so I can review it here and I have to say it`s an honor and a pleasure.
But since I haven`t got the book yet I thought should write a little about how I started reading Robin`s books and how much I love them!
I started reading the Christy Miller Series when I was around 12 years old I believe, and I remember the first time I read "Summer promise". My mom`s friend lent her this book because her daughter read and loved it and she thought that I might like it too, since I always enjoyed reading.
I remember starting reading it after school, I think I was hooked from the beginning, 10 years later I`m still here, waiting to get my hands on her latest book from that series.
I feel like I have grown up with these characters, and in some way I really have. I know as much as there is to know about them. Me and a few friends even talk about them sometimes, as if they were real people! We comment on their actions and thoughts and what we would want to happen and what we think of someone, things like that. It`s fun.

For years me and my friends have discussed the books and I even got to met Robin once, when she went to my church in Brazil, back in 2006. So, I`m very glad to have this opportunity to actually share my opinion with her and anyone else who reads this.

Look out for my review as soon as I get the book.
