Hi friends! How are you? I hope you have a wonderful morning. We had tons of rain here in Tucson and has dreamed of positively. I am looking forward to a walk in the coolest weather this afternoon!
For today’s post, I wanted to share a review of the books I have recently read. TBH, reading is still towards the end of my priority list right now. I haven’t done so much time to read this year, because we are still trying to find our groove for domestic education, work and preservation, while the pilot travels. I also make my way Ihp3 and Peptides for professionals Couse. Usually, when I am an individual parent, once I take children in bed and the washing machine folded, almost during bed collapse.
So unnecessary to say, it was a little slower on the reading front, but I have still managed to read some amazing books recently!
Here’s a review of what I’ve read recently and if I suggest you add them to your list!
Books I’ve read recently
From here to the Great Unkown
I was always a huge Elvis fan and I had the biggest crash in him when I was in high school. (Elvis from his top, okay? Haha) I always have excited about his life and family, so when I heard about this book, written by Lisa’s daughter Marie Presley, I knew I wanted to hear the sound edition. Includes recorded clips by Lisa Marie and is also mentioned by Julia Roberts (Soooo Good) and Elvis’s granddaughter, Riley Keogh.
The book detects Lisa Marie’s excellent but hectic life as Elvis Presley’s only child. She examines the reputation, identity, addiction, heart and deep sadness of the loss of her son. Through Riley’s reflections and the discovery of her mother’s recorded films, Memoir is an example of durability and an erotic letter between mother and daughter. I highly recommend audio version – 9/10
From Amazon:
A month later, Lisa Marie was dead and people will never know her story in her own words, she never knows the passionate, happy, care and complex woman Riley loved and is now sad.
Riley took the films her mother had recorded for the book, was in her bed and listened to as Lisa Marie told the story after a story to break the golf trolleys together at Graceland’s yards, about the unconditional love she felt from her father. About pulling the screaming from the bathroom as he ran to his body on the floor. Concerning Los Angeles with her mother, she was sent to school after school, always kicked, always in trouble. About her unique, lifelong relationship with Danny Keough, to marry Michael Jackson, what they had in common. For motherhood. For deep addiction. Forever present sadness. Riley knew that she had to fulfill her mother’s desire to reveal these memories, incandescent and painful, in the world.
To make her mother known.
This excellent book is written in both Lisa Marie’s voices and Riley, a mother and daughter who communicate – from this world in that – trying to heal each other. Deeply moving and deeply revealing, From here to the big unknown It’s a book like no other – the last words of the only child of an American image.
Paris Achitect
The architect of Paris is a beautifully written, agonizing story found in Nazi Paris. Following is Lucien Bernard, a talented architect who has been hired to design secret hideouts for Jewish families – a work that could cost him his life if he discovers. What begins as a job for extra money is quickly becoming a much deeper as Lucien’s courage and consciousness grow with every dangerous work. It’s a story about bravery, redemption and how ordinary people can do extraordinary things when choosing compassion over fear. This was a stunning story – I also liked the architectural details in all – and I liked the end. 9/10
From Amazon:
1942, Paris. Architect Lucien Bernard receives a commission that will bring him enormous wealth – and perhaps a death penalty. He must design a secret hideout for a wealthy Jewish man, a space so invisible that even the most determined by Nazi soldiers will not discover it. When one of Lucien’s plans fails terribly, the problem of hiding a Jew becomes personal and can no longer deny his huge work. What does he owe to his colleague and how far he will go to do things right?
When breathing becomes air
When breathing becomes air by Paul Kalanithi is a deeply moving memoir for a talented neurosurgeon who, in the middle of building a life and career, is diagnosed with terminal lung cancer. It treats what it means to live and die – shifting from doctor to patient – and explores how to make life meaning in view of mortality. This book gave me so much to reflect on, and somehow remained pleasant and light, despite the fact that it was such a heavy issue. 10/10
From Amazon:
At the age of thirty -six, on the verge of completing the training of a decade as a neurosurgeon, Paul Kalanithi was diagnosed with Stage IV lung cancer. One day he was a doctor who heals death, and the next one was a patient struggling to live. And so, the future that he and his wife had imagined evaporated. When breathing becomes Air, he records Kalanithi’s transformation by a naive medical student “he holds”, as he wrote, “by the question of what, since all organizations die, makes a virtuous and meaningful life” to a neurosurgeon in Stanford, who works in the brain and treats his own mortality.
What makes life worth living in the face of death? What do you do when the future is no longer a staircase towards your goals in life, leveling in a constant gift? What does it mean to have a child, to cultivate a new life as another disappears? These are some of the questions that Kalanithi fights in this deeply moving, highly observed memoir.
Paul Kalanithi died in March 2015 while working in this book, but his words live as a guide and gift for all of us. “I began to realize that I was coming face to face with my own mortality, in a sense, nothing changed and everything,” he wrote. “Seven words by Samuel Beckett began to repeat in my head: ‘I can’t go on.
Ok friends: What are you reading recently? Anything would you recommend?
I just started two new books … My goal is to complete them before the holidays 😉
