Second Part:
“First Years of Adolescence”
Hello my fellow blog readers! I am back on posting as you can see.
In these 2 years (almost 3) I’ve read a lot of books:
But I chose some representatives.
Now let’s start this book-tag shall we?
The first series that I ever read and that I’m currently reading because is still on going starts with “Spook’s Apprentice” by Joseph Delaney. I can’t say that it has an absolutely fascinating story but I apreciate the way the characters are and the fact that the action flows smooothly yet it keeps the reader in suspense. I remember that I discovered this book series when I was simply bored on a winter evening. I already was thirteen when I began reading it and before I realized it I already had the second volume in my hands and I was devouring the pages one by one with an incredible speed. I recommend this series to anyone that likes fantasy mixed with horror and action.
“Wonder” by R. J. Palacio really made me think a lot about wheter our appearance matters more than our hearts or how we think. Our appearance can also change the way we think about ourselves but it can’t change the fact that nobody’s perfect and we shoul try to be happy with ouselves and how we look like.
In my opinion the main idea promoted throughout the book is that we should accept how we look like and instead take care of our souls and friends will come to us eventually. Because no matter how alone and full of flaws you think you are you’ll be surprised to find out that you aren’t. At least that’s how I percieved the book’s message.
The last book that made me think a lot is “Walk Two Moons” by Sharon Creech (I read it recently).
It is a book full of mistery and the fog clears, over the protagonist’s bittersweet memories with her mother before she disappeared, only at the end of the book.
“Walk Two Moons” in my opinion is like solving a puzzle (from this point of view it reminded me a bit of “When You Reach Me” by Rebecca Stead). Every scrap of thought and memory come toghether perfectly creating a tear-sheding story. No joke, at the end of the book I cried really, not because the end shook me but because of how strong the main character is and how she faced (don’t think about some evil monster or danger) life itself.
Who will I tag?
I choose to tag @Anastasia, book blogger at lumeavazutacusufletul.wordpress.com.
If you are from Romania or if you understand Romanian language you should totally check her out! She is very talented!
Now the main question: What is this tag all about?
As you have probably observed, this tag is very flexible. You can say a few things about the books you’ve read throughout your childhood and adolescence and your favourite ones from those period of time. It is like going back in time, which can be very relaxing sometimes, especially if we talk about books.

Book Memories Tag!
Partea a doua:
“Primii ani ai adolescentei”
Salut, dragi cititori! M-am intors la postat dupa cum puteti vedea.
In acesti 2 ani (aproape 3) am citit multe carti(dupa cum puteti vedea in poza de mai jos):
dar am ales cateva reprezentative:
Si acum sa incepem cu acest book-tag, nu?
Prima serie pe care am citit-o si inca o citesc (pentru ca este on-going) incepe cu cartea “Ucenicul Vraciului” de Joseph Delaney si nu pot spune ca are neaparat o poveste absolut fascinanta dar apreciez felul in care sunt conturate personajele si cum decurge actiunea, totusi tinand cititorul in suspans.
Imi amintesc ca am descoperit aceasta serie de carti cand eram pur si simplu plictisita intr o seara de iarna. Aveam deja treisprezece ani cand am inceput sa o citesc si inainte sa realizez aveam deja al doilea volum in maini si devoram paginile una cate una cu o viteza incredibila. Recomand aceasta serie oricui ii place fantasticul amestecat cu horror si actiune.
“Minunea” de R. J. Palacio chiar m-a pus pe ganduri in legatura cu intrebarea daca aparentele conteaza mai mult decat sufletele noastre sau cum gandim. Cum aratam ne poate schimba perceptia asupra propriei persoane, dar nu poate schimba ideea ca nimeni nu e perfect si ca ar trebui sa incercam sa fim fericiti cu noi insine si cum aratam.
In opinia mea ideea promovata pe parcursul cartii este ca ar trebui sa ne acceptam pe noi si prietenii adevarati vor veni in cele din urma, caci nu conteaza cat de singur si plin de defecte crezi ca esti, vei fi surprins sa afli ca nu esti. Cel putin asa am perceput eu mesajul cartii.
Ultima carte care m-a facut sa ma gandesc mult este “Povesteste-mi ceva” de Sharon Creech (am citit-o recent).
Este o carte plina de mister si ceata se risipeste, deasupra amintirilor dulci-amarui ale protagonistei cu mama ei inainte ca aceasta sa dispara din viata ei, numai la sfarsitul cartii.
“Povesteste-mi ceva” in opinia mea este ca si cum ai rezolva un puzzle (din acest punct de vedere mi-a amintit de “Cand ma vei intalni” de Rebecca Stead) fiecare gand si amintire se potriveste perfect creand o poveste care te poate face sa versi cateva lacrimi. Si nu glumesc, la sfarsitul cartii chiar am plans si nu pentru ca sfarsitul m-ar fi zguduit dar pentru ca protagonista e atat de puternica si a dat piept cu (nu va ganditi la nu stiu ce mosntru sau pericol) viata insasi.
Cui ii voi da tag in continuare?
Eu o aleg pe @Anastasia book blogger-ita la lumeavazutacusufletul.wordpress. com.
Ar trebui sa aruncati o privire la blog-ul ei! E foarte talentata!
In ce consta exact tag-ul mai exact?
Dupa cum ati observat acesta este foarte flexibil. Puteti spune cateva lucruri despre cartile citite in copilarie si adolescenta si preferate de voi. E ca un fel de intoarcere in timp, ceea ce uneori poate fi foarte relaxant, mai ales cand vine vorba de carti.
