Are YOU Flawed?

Imagine
Hi everyone! I just finished reading "Flawed" by Cecelia Ahern so here is my little review on the book. Enjoy! There is no human on this earth that has not made a misjudgment, an error, a mistake. Celestine North is the face of perfection. At 17 years old she is the perfect student, the perfect girlfriend to Art, the perfect sister to her twin Juniper and her little brother Ewan and the perfect daughter to her parents Summer and Cutter. She manages all of this in a world where a misjudgment is harshly punished.  She is, as she liked to describe herself, a girl of definitions, of logic, of black and white.  But one simple mistake on her behalf and she might be labeled as a FLAWED. Faulty, defective, imperfect, blemished, damaged, distorted, unsound, weak, deficient, incomplete, invalid...having a weakness in character. You will see Celestine change throughout this entire book and this will warm your heart. One thing I didn't know before

Mărțișorul perfect?

Imagine
Mărțișorul este un nume de origine latină - Martius, un obicei specific românesc. Acesta celebrează venirea primăverii și este dăruit în data de 1 Martie fetelor pentru fericire și noroc. Însă, nu în toate regiunile României fetele primesc mărțișoare. În Bucovina, de exemplu, băieții sunt cei care au parte de acest obicei. Originalul mărțișor era conceput dintr-un șnur răsucit alb și roșu ce se purta la mână sau în piept iar atunci când înfloreau copacii era legat de un copac pentru a da roade bune tot anul. Cu timpul s-a adăugat o moneda acestui șnur, moneda simbolizând soarele. Cu cât parcurgem mai mult în timp, moneda a fost înlocuită de simbolul norocului: trifoi cu patru foi, coșar sau potcoavă. Astăzi mărțișorul are o multitudine de forme și aspecte, ceea ce este important însă este șnurul alb cu roșu care a rămas neschimbat. Meli Melo Poate vi se pare încă devreme să vorbim de mărțișoare, dar defapt mai sunt puține zile până la această zi și nu vrem să

The Singles Game

Imagine
If you have read The Devil Wears Prada  you know a little bit about Lauren Weisberger and her writing style. Well The Singles Game is a very easy-to-read book about motivation, inspiration and perseveration. All Charlotte Silver, or Charlie how she liked to be called, had done her whole life is play tennis. Unfortunately she hadn't had much success at it, not until something bad happens and puts her career in jeopardy. She could give up or keep fighting for what she truly wants. This is when our second co-star of the book is introduced as coach Todd Feltner or every players worst nightmare. As we watch Charlie go for what she dreams of, you start to wonder was it really all worse it? It's a match made in hell for sure but along the way one might realize what actually matters. It's a good book, it captivates your attention quickly with all the twists and surprises that you may or may not see them coming. I did enjoy it although the en
