Micaela García PRESENTE

Eran casi las cinco de la tarde y fui llegando hacia vos, o vos viniste llegando hacia mí. Me mirabas desde el homenaje que las pibas que tienen la bandera de tu lucha decidieron hacerte, vos siempre presente vas a estar. Los ojos en desafío y la sonrisa de sueños por mil, la pasión de la juventud en tu retrato, ideales en pecho. Saludé y me quedé mirándote, así como perdida, medio encontrada, no me salía pedirte más que perdón, porque alguien tiene que hacerlo y porque la Ju sticia todavía no lo hace. Perdón porque te encontraste con lo peor de esta Suciedad que si te matan pregunta por el largo de la pollera y si aparecés viva dice que sos una "Puta de mierda" que se fue "caliente atrás de una pija", como si fuera malo que una mujer estuviera "caliente" o peor que estés viva. Guarda que la figura de la mujer dueña de su sexualidad no es bien recibida, asusta se ve. No vaya a ser que te des cuenta que no sos objeto de nadie y les quieras armar una revolu

Open letter to censorship

OPEN LETTER TO CENSORSHIP Lately I've been reading more and more that writers, actors, singers, and any celebrity shouldn't have an opinion over anything that's not what they do for a living and if they do they're being harassed over social media and told that they should shut their mouths and mind their own business (write/act/sing/etc). This, beyond being rude, seems terribly ridiculous to me. Why's that? Well, as a start, we're all citizens with rights and that some of tho se citizens are famous for their jobs doesn't end their right to freely express their opinions and act towards their ideals or beliefs. We all have that right, it's called freedom of expression and it's been a while since it was entitled to everyone and not just a few. We don't get to decide who can speak and what they can speak about. If what they're saying, for whatever reason, makes you uncomfortable, just skip it, maybe read something else in that moment and com

Release blitz + Review: Anything you can do, R.S. Grey

Anything you can do Title: Anything You Can Do Author: R.S. Grey Release Date: Feb 2, 2017 Add to TBR Lucas Thatcher has always been my enemy. It’s been a decade since I’ve seen him, but our years on opposite coasts were less of a lasting peace and more of a temporary cease-fire. Now that we’re both back in our small town, I know Lucas expects the same old war, but I’ve changed since high school—and from the looks of it, so has he. The arrogant boy who was my teenage rival is now a chiseled doctor armed with intimidating good looks. He is Lucas Thatcher 2.0, the new and improved version I’ll be competing with in the workplace instead of the schoolyard. I’m not worried; I’m a doctor now too, board-certified and sexy in a white coat. It almost feels like winning will be too easy—until Lucas unveils a tactic neither of us has ever used before: sexual warfare . The day he pushes me up against the wall and presses his lips to mine, I can’t help but wonder if

Review: The ground beneath our feet, Leslie McAdam

Imagen
The Ground Beneath Our Feet by Leslie McAdam My rating: 3 of 5 stars This book speaks about subjects that matter, it's a story about self acceptance and self love. It is about overcoming your past and taking the leap for your future. Jessica is a young woman who is diagnosed as obese and with diabetic conditions. With ghosts from her past hunting her, she always seeked comfort in food. When she finally decides to start making choices to improve her life, and she moves to Santa Barbara, she meets Mikey, a hot veterinarian who sees her, really sees her, and won't stop until he gets the answer he wants from her. But Mikey also has a past to hide. Will they be able to heal? The premise of the story was hooking, the characters were interesting, but unfortunately, and I feel really bad about it, I couldn't quite connect with it as pretty much everyone else did. I particulary am more fond of action than inner monologue and I think that's what maybe didn't do it

Review: Hamlet, Shakespeare

Imagen
Hamlet  por  William Shakespeare Mi puntuación: 5 de 5 estrellas Shakespeare es Shakespeare y no hay con qué ganarle. SINOPSIS En una gélida noche, tan funesta que el viento se vuelve mensajero de terribles presagios, Hamlet, Horacio y tres soldados se reúnen con el propósito de desentrañar el misterio en torno al espectro que ha aparecido en las últimas noches cerca del castillo. Solo hablará con Hamlet, pues esa criatura castigada a vagar por las tierras de Elsinor fue su padre, el último rey de Dinamarca. Su hermano Claudio le traicionó arrebatándole la vida, el trono y su reina. Un horrible crimen que reclama justicia. No sé cuánto puedo decir sobre Hamlet que no haya sido dicho ya, así que voy a contarles mi experiencia con esta obra. Sencillamente me encantó y quiero volver a leerla en algún momento, con más tranquilidad. Me tocó leer en medio de la locura de la facultad y siento que me debo haber perdido la mitad de las cosas. Aún así tuvo momentos sublimes, que me

Review: Evading Fate, A.M. Myers

Imagen
Evading Fate by A.M. Myers My rating: 2 of 5 stars REAL RATING: 2.5 STARS TITLE: EVADING FATE SERIES: HIDDEN SCARS, BOOK #3 AUTHOR: A.M. MYERS GENRE: CONTEMPORARY ROMANCE This book is the third and final (?) installment of the Hidden Scars series and CAN'T BE READ AS AN STANDALONE unless you want to spoil yourself the plot of the previous books as happened to me. I'm having trouble to write this review because I thought I'd love this story but I didn't. The premise was good but the development didn't live up to it, at least not for me. BLURB Fate. I’ve been running from it most of my life – doing everything I can to avoid the future it had dictated for me. If I had learned one thing from the hell I went through as a child, it was that I never wanted to go back. Until I ran into someone who was running from her destiny just as hard as I was. And it just so happens that she’s one of my best friends. One night, emboldened by alcohol, she does something that has me

Him or Me by Veronica Larsen My rating: 3 of 5 stars 3.5 stars, sweet friends to lovers read I'm so glad I read this second installment of this duet of bite sized romances. I love this. I totally did. The story is sweet, funny and adorable. I read it in one sitting. It makes a perfect summer, fast and light, read. Grace and Heath are very funny people, they're outgoing and work together perfectly. I could totally feel their chemistry. I also liked the details about the characters that were previously presented in this series. It was very warming to see their friendship develop. If you're looking for a short, fun and sweet read this book is for you! View all my reviews

BLOG TOUR + REVIEW No Pants Required by Kim Karr Release Date (Fecha de lanzamiento): July 11 th  ( 11 de Julio) Genre (Género): Contemporary romance (Romance contemporáneo) Cover Design (Diseño de portada): Hang Le My rate (Mi puntuación): 4  ★   SYNOPSIS I, Makayla Alexander, am on a mission to reinvent myself. So when a super hot guy boards the plane and flashes his rock hard abs, I pay attention. When he sits next to me and offers me his nuts, I can’t resist. But when I choke on them and he tells me I need to work on my gag reflex, I realize I might be in over my head. Before I know it we’re in the lavatory and attempting to join the Mile High Club. Let me just say this... anyone who tells you it’s easy to get it on at 37,000 feet isn’t telling you the truth. After the flight attendant busts us for getting frisky in the air, the only thing that can ease my total and complete mortification is the simple fact that I am never going to see him again. Hours lat
