Review: Ruined: Lady Catherines Geheimnis

Ruined: Lady Catherines Geheimnis Ruined: Lady Catherines Geheimnis by Sarah Vaughn
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Ich mag Regency Romances sehr und diese Graphic Novel ist sehr schön. Die Zeichnungen sind so einfach wie die Geschichte, aber insgesamt passen sie gut zusammen. Die Charaktere wachsen zusammen und obwohl die Handlung ziemlich vorhersehbar ist, würde ich gerne die Fortsetzung lesen, in der die Hauptfigur vielleicht Gemma ist.

Mi piacciono molto i regency romance e questa graphic novel é molto carina. I disegni sono semplici come la storia, ma nel complesso stanno bene assieme. I personaggi crescono assieme e anche se la trama é piuttosto scontata, non mi dispiacerebbe leggere il seguito in cui, magari, la protagonista principale é Gemma.

Ich habe vom Verlag ein kostenloses digitales Vorab-Exemplar des Buches im Austausch für eine ehrliche Rezension erhalten.

Review: Amazing Octopus: Creature from an unknown world

Amazing Octopus: Creature from an unknown world Amazing Octopus: Creature from an unknown world by Michael Stavaric
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I really enjoyed reading this book which, at first, seems to be for children but instead is very charming and full of beautiful drawings. The world of cephalopods and all the interesting facts about them.

Mi sono davvero divertita a leggere questo libro che, inizialmente sembra per bambini ma invece é molto affascinante e pieno di disegni bellissimi. Il mondo dei cefalopodi e tutte le curiosità che li riguardano.

Review: Essays on Art and Science

Essays on Art and Science Essays on Art and Science by Eric R. Kandel
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

To best appreciate this book, in addition to being interested in neuroscience one must love art, and in particular Viennese art at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. I especially liked the chapter in which experiments were carried out that highlighted how abstract art is positioned at a "higher" level cerebrally speaking.

Per apprezzare al meglio questo libro, oltre che essere interessati alle neuroscienze bisogna amare l'arte, ed in particolare quella viennese a cavallo tra l'800 ed il 900. A me é piaciuto soprattutto il capitolo in cui si effettuavano esperimenti che hanno messo in luce come l'arta astratta si posiziona ad un livello "piú alto" celebralmente parlando.

Review: Hate Mail

Hate Mail Hate Mail by Donna Marchetti
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

As much as there are some things that don't add up, the letters Naomi and Luke wrote to each other remain unforgettable highlights. An extra star for the laughs I got.

Per quanto ci siano delle cose che non mi tornano, le lettere che si scrivevano Naomi e Luca restano degli highlights indimenticabili. Una stella in piú per le risate che mi sono fatta.

Review: Self-Care for Autistic People: 100+ Ways to Recharge, De-Stress, and Unmask!

Self-Care for Autistic People: 100+ Ways to Recharge, De-Stress, and Unmask! Self-Care for Autistic People: 100+ Ways to Recharge, De-Stress, and Unmask! by Dr. Megan Anna Neff
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Extremely interesting and along the lines of the latest research that now seeks to broaden the autism label by moving it to a spectrum of neurodiversity. Increasingly it is now seen that not all people on the spectrum look like Rayman, especially if they are female or BIPOC, so they are looking for commonalities that not only make diagnosis easier (because they include empathy and a normointelligence), but also can give simple strategies to avoid succumbing to any kind of overstimulation.

Estremamente interessante e sulla linea delle ultime ricerche che cercano ormai di ampliare l'etichetta dell'autismo spostandola su uno spettro di neurodiversitá. Sempre di piú ormai si é visto che non tutte le persone sullo spettro assomigliano a Rayman, specialmente se di sesso femminile o BIPOC, per questo si stanno cercando dei punti di contatto che rendano non solo piú facile la diagnosi (perché includono l'empatia e una normointelligenza), ma anche possano fornire delle semplici strategie per evitare di soccombere a qualsiasi tipo do sovrastimolazione.

Review: Kilt Trip

Kilt Trip Kilt Trip by Alexandra Kiley
My rating: 1 of 5 stars

I'm sorry, but this book bored me from the beginning because I couldn't appreciate him or her, and considering that only Scotland was advancing, I'd rather read a Lonely Planet guidebook.

Mi dispiace, ma questo libro mi ha annoiato dall'inizio perché non sono riuscita ad apprezzare né lui né lei e, considerato che avanzava solo la Scozia, preferisco leggermi una guida della Lonely Planet.

My rating: 2 of 5 stars

Ok this is the last one, I will ask my friends eventually, how the fight against the atlanteans is going to end. Alpha macho men with issues bored me now to death.

Questo é l'ultimo, ormai ho deciso, le mie amiche che continueranno a leggere questa serie, mi diranno poi (se e quando) come finirá la battaglia con gli atlantidei. I maschi alfa problematici attualmente mi annoiano a morte.
