Doppio Forno: cocci & dolci

  2020 in books! I read a little less than 2019 but I had an interesting. As you can see from the picture, I loved most of the books I read and I can’t do a short list of my preferred list, it would be too difficult! So, I decided to write a little about the books I was more connected. I read mostly fiction, but I enjoyed a few nonfiction books; I really loved Elie Wiesel All rivers run to the sea, reading about his life was a big help for me during this year so unpredictable and stressful, another non-fiction book that I found interesting and eye-opener was Just Mercy by Bryan Stevenson. I started also reading President Barack Obama A Promise Land memoir, but I didn’t finish yet (I am almost halfway). I discovered Charles Lenox Mysteries by Charles Finch, I like the Victorian Age description and the main character is very likeable. Another discover was Sulari Gentill, I think her book After She Wrote Him is a real gem, and a fascinating mystery, very unconventional. I re...

An author's debut book This book left me confused. I didn’t fully enjoyed it; I didn’t like or maybe I didn't fully understand Wallace, the main character. Wallace is in tipping point of his life, he feels he needs to change, he is not fully satisfied of his student life, he thought it was going to be his way out from a toxic family but he is still unhappy, he feels lonely and kind of out place with his group of fellow students/friends. After I finished the book I looked for the author and I found an interesting interview (the link is below), and, I am still writing this is not one of my favorite book, but I may understand a little more what the author wanted us to see/know with his book!

Yesterday I finished my book and I had to choose a new book. Sometimes it is very easy sometimes it is not! I started reading a couple of books but they didn’t capture my attention. I started  browsing in my kindle and I found Twenty-one truths about love: a list. I thought what I was thinking when I request how can I read a book that it is a list of lists?? Then I started reading and laughing. Yes it is a series of lists but there is a story too! Dan is bookshop owner, his shop is not doing very well, his wife wants a child, his mother is extremely annoying and his bank account is dangerously going close to 0. What can I say it is a good book, it makes you laugh, think and enjoy your time reading it, I loved and I will check the other books from this author. I want to thank NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press for the ARC in exchange for an honest review. Goodreads: Twenty-one Truths about Love by Matthew Dicks
