"Quiet Girl in a Noisy World: An Introvert's Story": a minha review.



"Quiet Girl in a Noisy World: An Introvert's Story", de Debbie Tung , foi-me cedido pela Netgalley e pelo editor para que eu fizesse uma apreciação honesta deste livro. Não há de momento edição em português. Publiquei a minha opinião na Amazon e no Goodreads com 5/5 estrelas e a seguinte "review":

Quiet Girl in a Noisy World: An Introvert's Story is a comic book by Debbie Tung about a girl growing to accept her introversion as a feature instead of a flaw.

This book is SO me! I've always been an introvert and I used to feel inadequate. Now I'm older and ok with it. It's who I am and I know there is nothing wrong with it.

The author of this book really understands introverts, she must be one. Her portrait of introverts is accurate. The comics are short and to the point. The drawings are simple, in black and white and very expressive. They convey well, and without the help of much text, the message.

This is a good reading for introverts: it demystifies introversion. (I smiled as I recognized myself in some funny situations, I felt understood).

It's also a good book for extroverts who want to understand introverts. (I already told my husband, who is an extrovert, to read this book so he understands me better).

Yet, don't think that introverts don't like people, they do. They just get tired and drained after some time around people. They need some time alone.

There is another quirk to which I relate to the main character: I'm also a bookworm. I love to stay home with my kids, my husband, and my dogs. And also alone, in my corner, reading my books and recharging batteries.

I received this book as an eARC from the publisher and NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.

Afinal a Primavera começa hoje / Spring is here




Como estava um bocado confusa quanto ao dia de começo da Primavera (dia 20 ou 21?) fui investigar:


"Primavera a 21 de Março? Não, esta quinta-feira, 20, às 16h57.

Até 2050, o início da estação das flores e das alergias será quase sempre no dia 20 e duas vezes no dia 19.

É esta a data e a hora exacta em que este ano se assinala o equinócio da Primavera no país. Neste preciso momento, o Sol estará a cruzar o chamado equador celeste, isto é, a projecção do plano equatorial da Terra no espaço. O equinócio da Primavera está associado a outra característica mais fácil de se compreender: marca a data em que o dia e a noite têm a mesma duração, ou seja, 12 horas".

O charme de todas as idades / The charm of youth and old age


Problemas com a grav(idade)!!!


“To know what you like is the beginning of wisdom and of old age. Youth is wholly experimental. The essence and charm of that unquiet and delightful epoch is ignorance of self as well as ignorance of life.”

Robert Louis Stevenson
