Week 13 – Goodbye , Goodbye, Goodbye

Hi everyone! Welcome back for the last time (for real this time). The semester is over—I can’t believe it. When people say that time in university flies by, they really are not lying.  Since I took RMST 201 last term, I was expecting the same class format, but I was pleasantly surprised by this class. […]

Week 12 – Dolls, Drama, Girlhood

Hi Everyone! Welcome back for the last time, as this is the last book of the semester. I don’t know about you guys, but this semester has flown by for me. I can’t believe it’s almost over.  The final book of this class was My Brilliant Friend by Elena Ferrante, and I really enjoyed it! […]

Week 10 – When Money Literally Burns 

Alright, welcome back everyone! The weather has put me in a good mood and I have things to say. This week’s book is Ricardo Piglia’s « Money to Burn » and surprisingly I quite liked this one and have some things to say.   First off, imagine planning the perfect crime – you’ve got the brains, the brawn, […]

Week 9 – The origin of Sugar Daddies

Hi everyone! Welcome back yet again. The semester is flying by.  This week’s book was The Lover by Marguerite Duras, and I found it quite interesting.  When I told my dad I was reading this book, he told me that he had reread it not long ago because he liked it so much and found […]

Week 8 – Another psycho to add to the list

Hi everyone! I hope everyone is doing ok.  This week’s book was « The Hour of the Star » by Clarice Lispector. Honestly, I don’t know how to feel about this short book. I was not too fond of it, but I liked it at the same time. Reading the first line, « All the world began with […]

Week 7 – GASLIGHTING? REALLY?  

Hi everyone! I hope everyone enjoyed their reading week and is enjoying the sudden snow!  Jumping into « The Time of the Doves » by Mercè Rodoreda was like being swept into a storm of emotions, history, and the vivid streets of Barcelona during the Spanish Civil War. And, oh my god, I felt so much anger […]

Week 6 – Tears were shed 

Hey everyone!! Happy Valentine’s Day! I hope you are all surrounded by love on this day.  This week’s book was « Black Shack Alley » by Joseph Zobel, and I have to be honest. It made me cry. It was really sad. It shows what it means to fight for your dreams when the odds are SERIOUSLY […]

Week 5 – Oops, Freud dit it again

The man, the myth, the legend: Freud is back yet again. I think I speak for everyone (or mostly everyone) that he was the first that came to mind after reading the first few pages of « Agostino » by Alberto Moravia. I went into this book thinking it would be a fun summer read. And Boy, […]

Week 4 – The Process of Dying

Hi Everyone! Welcome back yet again for another weekly blog!  This week’s book was « The Shrouded Woman » by Maria Luisa Bombal. I have to say this was the book I liked most yet. It was intriguing and had twists and turns. So, it’s the best one yet (probably because a woman wrote it, but I’m […]
