About six years ago, if you had told me that there would ever be a time when I would start reading E-books and even neglect physical books for a while, I would have scoffed and laughed at you. Well, it all started when I got into the university. My course is one where you have to read a lot of books, and unfortunately, the school’s library didn’t have more than 95% of the books. Instead of going around, looking for libraries to buy them, we decided to download them online. At first, it felt strange. But with time, I got used to reading e-books. In the past 4 to 5 years, I have read more E-books than physical books. I was going through my E-library today and I saw some interesting books and I think you’d have fun reading them.

As a child I loved reading story books. Then it was usually tagged as tales of the moonlight and this was to portray how our grandparents would always like to gather all their grandchildren at night when the moon is out, to tell them stories. These stories can be historical, fairytales and so much more. It was always nice reading those stories and putting myself in that position of listening to someone read out the words even when I’m very sure I was the one reading it all to myself. It just made me enjoyed the story more and help me find my lessons easily.

The first time I read it, Holden Caulfield didn’t feel like a character on a page—he felt like a voice in my ear. The way he talks—rambling, cynical, tripping over his own thoughts, it’s messy, it’s raw, and it makes you feel like you’ve stumbled into someone’s unfiltered diary. What hit me hardest is how lonely he is. You can feel it pressing against every sentence, even when he’s making jokes or tearing people down.

Hello everyone, friends who are fans of good stories, dear Hive Book Club community, I hope you are doing super well today, this time I will share with you my opinions of this interesting book, today we will talk about: The Mask of Mirrors by M.A. Carrick... it is a book that I read a few months ago, but I needed to tell you a little about this story, to start, something that surprised me is that M.A. Carrick is actually TWO authors! Marie Brennan, who you surely know from the memoirs of Lady Trent and Alyc Helms... I am always impressed with how they manage to write together and make it look so good, and here, they made a super well-rounded gem full of details... my first impression was like: "Wow, that's a lot of pages", because yes, it is long, but the whole con thing caught me right away, I'm not lying!

When talking about stories and plots in world literature, they all appear in three great books: "The Bible", "The Thousand and One Nights" and "Don Quixote of La Mancha", the last two being qualified as works of fiction. For this reason, anyone who prides himself as a reader must face the task of immersing himself in the pages of each of these books, since there he will find the roots of all the narratives.

Attention Deficit without Drugs; A Guide for Parents and Teachers. We are back with more interesting topics; and today we have a text written by the Psychologist and Specialist in Child and Adolescent Disorders Gladys Varacoechea Troconis. This book is very special for me, because it was a gift from a great friend when we were going through strong health difficulties at home with my son Miguel. For those who do not know, my son at the time, had hyperactivity disorder in infants; he had many headaches, it was impossible for him to sleep and sometimes he would convulse; because of all this we spent entire nights without sleep due to my son's insomnia and heartbreaking cries.

This is going to be a short review, maybe my shortest one yet. Because this was a very, very short read. It’s a novella, and there’s not a lot I can say about it… mainly because there isn’t much to say. But for once, that’s not a bad thing. This book is a satirical thriller. The story has no head, no tail, and it doesn’t make sense but because it’s satire, it does make sense.

### What is Hive Book Club? Hive Book Club is a community made by book lovers, for book lovers. A place where the chaotic minds of writers may punch away words from their keyboards as they share their writing adventures. Where passionate book collectors may rummage through their stacks of books to share and review their latest additions. Outside of our regular curation process, we may create contests for our community to participate in, and earn even more from their posts. If you have a certain theme for a future contest you would like to see, let us know! Be sure to check with us frequently on our various social media platforms to avoid missing out! ### How Do We Choose The Highlighted Posts? For those of you curious as to how you may have been chosen or would like to be chosen in the future in one of these compilations: we scan through the community and read the many posts that the community members write. We then select four or five posts that we believe meet certain criteria and are worthy of sharing with the rest of the community. We aim to keep these selections diverse in style, from writing skills or subject matter. Hence, throughout the week, the moderators will check the community and manually handpick the posts. Some factors include the post subject, post quality, engagement, personal voice, and general effort. If we choose you, or you happen to stumble across these highlights, please do check out the other posts we feature, and contribute to their curation and engagement!
