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

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...
