Analysis
Why the sex? And why is he white?
Hello, hello I really like reading. And last year in Portugal there was this very beautifull collection of classics being sold. All of them hardcover, with drawings and very classical looking covers. So, I bought some of them (my parents did cof cof). I wanted to read some classical literature and almost all of the writers of the books were women so it sounded like a great opportunity. One of books that I loved the most was The "Wuthering Heights" by Emily Brontë. I read the book so fast and was trying to convinve everyone around me to read it to.

I read When You Wish Upon A Star by Elizabeth Lim
When Magic Comes with a Price: A Review of "When You Wish Upon A Star" by Elizabeth Lim Elizabeth Lim's "When You Wish Upon A Star" (2023) stands as a compelling addition to Disney's "A Twisted Tale" series, offering readers a fresh and darker perspective on the beloved Pinocchio story. Rather than simply retelling the classic tale, Lim asks a provocative question: "What if the Blue Fairy wasn't supposed to help Pinocchio?" This premise launches readers into a complex narrative that explores the consequences of defying cosmic order for the sake of compassion.

Top 5 Books from 2025.. so far. Top Story - September 2025.
I have not read as much as I wanted to this year. I set myself a goal of reading twenty books at the beginning of January. It's now September and somewhere in between working, being a mom, and my regular life- I managed to read 14 books/audiobooks so far. I actually am quite proud of that number as it's only September.

And what do you think, Mr. Robbins?. Top Story - September 2025.
No, I had no idea what the title meant when I picked up this book from the local library. And no, I was not a long time fan of the author when I heard of his death and found that I had two of his paperbacks ready to go: “Another Roadside Attraction” (his first novel), and “Jitterbug Perfume” (catchy titles, I think). But I knew his name. I had seen the books and I knew that someone was actually insane enough to make a film out of his “Even Cowgirls Get the Blues,” a film starring Uma Thurman as a hitchhiker with a very generous length of thumb (no, it was not a hit). And I stayed away from them all. My feeling was that Mr. Tom Robbins belonged to that interesting clique of writers from the late sixties that once had the ear of the zeitgeist, but soon lost it when people realized that they had nothing else to say (reviewing the remainder pile of the local bookstores has become an unmerciful duty). There was no place in my life for books on hippies, the counterculture that failed, and the false promise of psychedelics.
