Unfabulous
I'm writing mostly because I hate seeing that old book list on top of my entries...
i. The best part of eating Golden Puffs is collecting them if you accidentally knock them to the ground. It's amazing how much those sweet balls can go rolling.
ii. I'm a little sad because I've temporarily left the lab (until the first week of December, that is, when ( Read more... ) -

La catedral del mar
Vía Wiki:
La novela, enmarcada en el siglo XIV, cuenta la vida de Arnau Estanyol, el hijo de un siervo fugado que vive en Barcelona. A lo largo de una interesante trama se sigue con detalle el progreso de Arnau en sus intentos de tirar adelante y de progresar socialmente.

A book review I've been meaning to do for a long time.
Warning: This isn’t more than a collection of my feelings towards the book.
I didn’t know what to expect about this book, because it looked strange when I flipped through the pages. I mean, there’s a comic. And I didn’t know much about the plot either, since I bought it in a whim just because of ( Read more... ) -
