About Good Hairs by Grace Helena Walz

 Hi! I'm back with a new book which I read thanks to NetGalley. I think I started this story with too much expectations, I thought it was going to be my favourite summer read and it hasn't been. This lecture wasn't for me. Anyway, this a  story with a strong connection between sisters, a shorted chapters that alternate between two voices and a reflections about life, the value of the present and seconds chances.  Perhaps it might be better received by other readers, but for me it lacked that spark that makes me want to turn the page.

 Hi! This year 2026 I'm going to write a lot and one of my objectives  is related to this blog. I want to put a lot of effort in this project, that it useful for me for expressing myself and communicating with people who also adore reading books. I'm not English Native Speaker so I probably commit failures, but I want to allows myself opportunities to fail and start again with the learning in my heart. Today, I am here to talk you about a book that has pleasantly surprised me.

I don't think that this book should be considered a autobiography  among others, since Rose had courage for writing also about other process of people that she me  had met in her life, with no other intention than to reflect about on what really matters in life and oth...

REVIEW OF DREAMS IN WHICH I’M ALMOST HUMAN

I really identified with the way she talked about having stories written on her body; I think the way one perceives the world when one has a disability is very deep, and she captures that very well. As regards the narrative, the way it’s written is very direct and down-to-earth and I appreciated the honesty she showed through letters.  I have thought about the role of disability in imagined futures because this aspect is mentioned in one of their chapters. We don’t stay out of time, we revolution the concept of time.  I enjoyed it especially when she talks about what she does more slowly than people because her muscles slower and the manner that she accepts is a process which I went through as well. Finally, I adored the chapter i...

Hello. My name is Silvia. I'm from Spain  and I'm a writer who has published a few books in my country. I have created this blog to improve my English while sharing my book reviews. I love reading and connect with people who do too. I have a degree in philosophy, so maybe my style is a bit more introspective when it comes to sharing what I think. Regarding the name of the blog, I know it's not strictly correct, but I wanted to play with the metaphorical device. I’m open to recommendations from all genres, although I especially love essays, introspective novels and books related to social justice. I hope that with my content I can convey my passion for literature and philosophy☺
