Hello guys !!!!

Another month begins, and with it comes my birthday. Uhuuuuuuuuuuu ....

In this year I get on my 25 years old, ¼ of centenary completed, and I believe that this requires something special and therefore I decided to do something a little different for this month, after full fourteen years of addiction on books, could not go unchallenged, right ?!

So in order to celebrate I prepared a list of authors that influenced on my books taste in different genres and an impact in my life, no more chatter and let's go:

J. k. Rowling

It was through the Harry Potter saga that, like many people, I found the love for reading. I must say it was one of those rare moments in life when you found a real pleasure, after I started I never stopped.

At first I admired the writing and the history that J.K. had written, but after I got to know her life story and so a began to admire her as a person more and more. A woman who had experienced all kind of problems and instead of just keep whining she shook up the dust and changed the curse of her life story with hard work and dedication.

By the way, here goes a hint, there is a movie of her life called Magic Beyond Word: The JK Rowling Story.

Sidney Sheldon

For those who do not know him, he is an American writer who writes novels and thriller, which those are fantastic.

His first book I ever met was Bloodline and the first one I have read this genre, and I must say I fell in love for suspense and adventure books, and because he frequently puts as main character a woman and this makes all sensational and exciting.

C. S. Lewis

I've done a review on this series that I really like, Chronicles of Narnia, this universe created by Lewis is brilliant mainly because it transports children and adults who are living a painful or tough situation to a world that everything is possible, from animals that are able to speak as evil witches. In the end the books teaches you that there will always be difficulties in life, but what makes the difference is the way that we chose to face our problems and we can make a difference in ourselves and in the world.

Jane Austin

Austin entered in a relatively quiet time of my life, but she taught me a lot about thoughts freedom and the many ways to express them. Especially that not everything is the way it is sold for us and that is worth take a risking for what we really want not letting us be persuaded by other person, beyond the fact that she had written her books among the XVIII and XIX centuries which is impressive for a woman of that time.

Stan Lee

I know this is cheating, because he is an author of comic books, but could not ignore the one who made me love superheroes especially the X-Men. Each one of those comics brought me great joy and did my imagination travel far by developments of genetic technologies or genetic accidents, I am a huge fan.

I hope you have enjoyed

See you on the next week

The Canterbury Sisters

Written by Kim Wright

Published by Gallery Books

Che Milan’s life is falling apart. Not only has her longtime lover abruptly dumped her, but her eccentric, demanding mother has recently died. When an urn of ashes arrives, along with a note reminding Che of a half-forgotten promise to take her mother to Canterbury, Che finds herself reluctantly undertaking a pilgrimage. Within days she joins a group of women who are walking the sixty miles from London to the shrine of Becket in Canterbury Cathedral, reputed to be the site of miracles. In the best Chaucer tradition, the women swap stories as they walk, each vying to see who can best describe true love. Che, who is a perfectionist and workaholic, loses her cell phone at the first stop and is forced to slow down and really notice the world around her, perhaps for the first time in years. Through her adventures along the trail, Che finds herself opening up to new possibilities in life and discovers that the miracles of Canterbury can take surprising forms.

1920: The Year that Made the Decade Roar

Written by Eric Burns

Published by Pegasus Books

"The Roaring Twenties” is the only decade in American history with a widely applied nickname, and our collective fascination with this era continues. But how did this surge of innovation and cultural milestones emerge out of the ashes of The Great War? No one has yet written a book about the decade’s beginning. Acclaimed author Eric Burns investigates the year of 1920, which was not only a crucial twelve-month period of its own, but one that foretold the future, foreshadowing the rest of the 20th century and the early years of the 21st, whether it was Sacco and Vanzetti or the stock market crash that brought this era to a close. Burns sets the record straight about this most misunderstood and iconic of periods. Despite being the first full year of armistice, 1920 was not, in fact, a peaceful time—it contained the greatest act of terrorism in American history to date. And while 1920 is thought of as starting a prosperous era, for most people, life had never been more unaffordable. Meanwhile, African Americans were putting their stamp on culture and though people today imagine the frivolous image of the flapper dancing the night away, the truth was that a new kind of power had been bestowed on women, and it had nothing to do with the dance floor...

Re Jane: A Novel

For Jane Re, half-Korean, half-American orphan, Flushing, Queens, is the place she’s been trying to escape from her whole life. Sardonic yet vulnerable, Jane toils, unappreciated, in her strict uncle’s grocery store and politely observes the traditional principle of nunchi (a combination of good manners, hierarchy, and obligation). Desperate for a new life, she’s thrilled to become the au pair for the Mazer-Farleys, two Brooklyn English professors and their adopted Chinese daughter. Inducted into the world of organic food co-ops, and nineteenth–century novels, Jane is the recipient of Beth Mazer’s feminist lectures and Ed Farley’s very male attention. But when a family death interrupts Jane and Ed’s blossoming affair, she flies off to Seoul, leaving New York far behind. Reconnecting with family, and struggling to learn the ways of modern-day Korea, Jane begins to wonder if Ed Farley is really the man for her. Jane returns to Queens, where she must find a balance between two cultures and accept who she really is.

Hi guys!

Sunday is Mother's Day, so I decided to write a review of one of the series that my mom likes, The Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis.

As there are the book series and the movie series too I will give my opinion on which one is more worthwhile.

Let’s go to the plot ...

This book series of CS Lewis is very well wrotten and has a wonderful plot, containing a well structured characters and they progress throughout the history. It tells the story of Narnia world since its creation by Aslam, the adventures experienced by those who live in there until the last days of this universe.

The first book tells how the world of Narnia was created, as the White Witch (or Jadis)

got there and the first adventures of the first sons of Eve and Adam in that realm. It is only on the second book that the four Penvensie (Susana, Lucia, Peter and Edmund) brothers know Narnia and fight to save her from the clutches of the White Witch, this was the one that turned out on the first film of the series.

On each book you can see that as our world population the population of Narnia gradually is getting corrupted without weighing the lives taken and all the pain and suffering that are inflicting on others, which will make Aslam assume a radical decision, and is going to explain why Susana is no longer permitted to enter Narnia.

This series consists of seven books, and you must read in this sequence because it makes a big difference on your understanding of the Narnia universe, wherein three of those books does not treat about the Penvensie children but other characters that are part of the structures of that universe.

The Magician's NephewThe Lion, The Witch and The WardrobeThe Horse and His BoyPrince CaspianThe Voyage of the Dawn TreaderThe Silver ChairThe Last Battle

Is that Worth ????

Definitely yes, in fact this is my reaction when I speak of these books, only in the brunette version, kkkkkk ....

The reading is engaging and pleasurable, and bring a great comfort to those who are experiencing some tough times in life such as the lost of someone and bullying.

Something interesting to be added is the association that the author made of Aslam and God, many features are similar as in the book The Horse and His Boy which shows that even Shata (Boy) believing to be alone Aslam always has been caring and supporting him without revealing to him as the same happens to us living creatures of this world.

Although it was wrote for children those books captivate young people and adults of all ages. And I must say that the film did not leave anything to be desired, of course, it is an adaptation, but maintained the integrity of the story.

The books box or the box of the movies you choose to give someone the gifted one will fall in love for the history and will be flattered for the gift, but here comes a alert for the possibility that person disappear or get very distracted for a while.

See you next friday

All the Rage

by Courtney Summers

Published April 14th 2015 by St. Martin's Griffin

The sheriff’s son, Kellan Turner, is not the golden boy everyone thinks he is, and Romy Grey knows that for a fact. Because no one wants to believe a girl from the wrong side of town, the truth about him has cost her everything—friends, family, and her community. Branded a liar and bullied relentlessly by a group of kids she used to hang out with, Romy’s only refuge is the diner where she works outside of town. No one knows her name or her past there; she can finally be anonymous. But when a girl with ties to both Romy and Kellan goes missing after a party, and news of him assaulting another girl in a town close by gets out, Romy must decide whether she wants to fight or carry the burden of knowing more girls could get hurt if she doesn’t speak up. Nobody believed her the first time—and they certainly won’t now — but the cost of her silence might be more than she can bear.　 With a shocking conclusion and writing that will absolutely knock you out,All the Rage examines the shame and silence inflicted upon young women after an act of sexual violence, forcing us to ask ourselves: In a culture that refuses to protect its young girls, how can they survive?

Leaving Berlin

by Joseph Kanon

From the bestselling author of Istanbul Passage, called a "fast-moving thinking man's thriller" by The Wall Street Journal, comes a sweeping, atmospheric novel of postwar East Berlin, a city caught between political idealism and the harsh realities of Soviet occupation. Berlin 1948. Almost four years after the war's end, the city is still in ruins, a physical wasteland and a political symbol about to rupture. In the West, a defiant, blockaded city is barely surviving on airlifted supplies; in the East, the heady early days of political reconstruction are being undermined by the murky compromises of the Cold War. Espionage, like the black market, is a fact of life. Even culture has become a battleground, with German intellectuals being lured back from exile to add credibility to the competing sectors. Alex Meier, a young Jewish writer, fled the Nazis for America before the war. But the politics of his youth have now put him in the crosshairs of the McCarthy witch-hunts. Faced with deportation and the loss of his family, he makes a desperate bargain with the fledgling CIA: he will earn his way back to America by acting as their agent in his native Berlin. But almost from the start things go fatally wrong. A kidnapping misfires, an East German agent is killed, and Alex finds himself a wanted man. Worse, he discovers his real assignment is to spy on the woman he left behind, the only woman he has ever loved. Changing sides in Berlin is as easy as crossing a sector border. But where do we draw the lines of our moral boundaries? Betrayal? Survival? Murder? Filled with intrigue, and the moral ambiguity of conflicted loyalties, Joseph Kanon's new novel is a compelling thriller and a love story that brings a shadowy period of history vividly to life.

So, what was the books published on march that you liked??? Let your answer on the comments, I'll love to read it. Hugh hugs

See you

And again I got a problem on my computer, but this time was my fault, but finally it’s functional ( I can’t stop laughing of what a dumb thing I have done), but to compensate your patience I have prepared a book tag, my first one!!!

It’s called the Coffee Book Tag, created by BookTuber BangadyBangz but saw on Of Stacks and Cups Blog.

I’m not so into coffee, I’m more the chocolate type ( I really love).

1. Black coffee - Name a series that's tough to get into but has hardcore fans

The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien it’s an amazing trilogy, but I must say that the reading and the story understanding is really difficult, I only read the first one but I intent to read the rest in a sooner future.

2. Peppermint Mocha - Name a book that gets more popular during the winter or a festive time of the year

For Christmas festivity nothing better than Harry Potter series, I have read thousand times (It’s not just manner of speak) and every time I read on each time a fall in love over and over again,

3. Hot chocolate - What is your favorite children's book?

You probably won’t know this book series because it was wrote by a Brazilian writer called Monteiro Lobato, these histories are quite popular in here and when I was a kid loved read it.

4. Double shot of espresso - Name a book that kept you on the edge on your seat from start to finish

This part of The Selection trilogy really got into me, I read this one so fast but unfortunate the last one (The One) was a little bit disappointed or I expected more, I don’t know for sure.

5. Starbucks - Name a book that you see everywhere

Whatever you go you will see this book all over in Brazil, the people in here are loving the move and it has motivated them to read the trilogy books. It’s really good and has a lot of adrenaline.

6. That hipster coffee shop - Give a book by an indie author a shout-out

If I say I have never read a Indie book are going to believe in me???? But I choose this on from William Young because it left to me a strong message of how to accept the brutal lost of some so beloved, and how to accept the everything happens for the best, God knows and we must accept and see how we can do better. This helped me a lot.

7. Oops! I accidentally got decaf - Name a book you were expecting more from

The synopsis were really good, it was what motivated me to read Matched from Ally Condie but (big BUT) it was not so good as I expected, but I intent to read the rest of the trilogy, it is on my top 10, I think writer took too much time to arrive on the good part, this got me boring.

8. The perfect blend - Name a book or series that was both bitter and sweet but ultimately satisfying

I really loved this collection, I read one after the other so fast, the history and way it was wrote is unbelievable awesome, so great, so excited and so surprising. I really recommend them.

I hope you enjoyed my answers and write yours on the comment, I’ll love to read it.

Hugh hugs See you

Hello guys!!! My laptop finally got ready, uhuuuu...

After almost a week without it, finally I’m being able to put things on order

Let’s go to this week review!!!

I decided to tell you what is my opinion on the Shatterme book by Thareh Mafi and published by Harper Collins, it is four books until now, and I’m going to be doing the review of the first one.

A new order was established in the world and containing high radiation that has contaminated as much humans as crops and animals causing food rationing among many other things.

Juliette was born in this world and because of the radiation she has the ability that when she touches people she makes them feel great pain and because of this her parents after "endure it" for fourteen years they gave her to the government and it’s when her journey begins.

She is sent to an "asylum", which looks more like a concentration and torture camp, where she is kept isolated and after 264 without contacting anyone is placed a cellmate with her and that's where Adam reappears in her life.

What she doesn’t expect is that there is a reason why he was there it’s because she is part of a plan devised by Eric, leader of the sector 46 where Juliette lives, which is interested on the powers that she has (and on her too - a crush on her) but with no good purposes.

Is it worthed???

It Dependes...

For me it seemed like a slightly different version of the X-Men Vampira character living in the age of the Apocalypse (by the way we’ll have this film in theaters in 2016), but despite of everything it’s not so bad.

I thought the beginning too slow and painful, besides that the history takes too much to unroll, when you read half of the book than it gets cool and interesting.

However you need of the first half to understand the universe that the characters live, than perhaps if the writer had shortened the begin maybe the book would have get less tiring.

I still want to read the others two after completing the top 10 list (click here to check), who knows my opinion improves.

Thank you for reading until here

See you next Friday

Hello guys!!!

A miracle happened, besides thousand of collage works, the classes and my job a

was able to finish in 10 days The False Princess book, wrote by Eilis O’Neal.

Because of this I believe that it deserves a immediately reviews, because it really impressed me.

It was a great surprise, because on the beginning of the book I didn’t give credit for this on, I confess, but as the story was going and I was getting involved with the Sinda character feeling a strong empathy for her pain and a certain pride as she was evolving and finding herself throughout the history.

The story is set in the twelfth century, in a kingdom called Thorvaldor where there was a terrible prophecy for the princess and to save their daughter the king and the queen along with the magicians Neomar and Melaina work out a plan, changing the true monarch by an ordinary child. However a conspiracy to overthrow the throne was hatched by someone in court and Sinda will be in the fight to save whom she considered to be her family and her kingdom.

Is it worthed?

Absolute

Beforehand I recommend that if you are in the middle of a hurricane of activities that need to be fulfilled in a certain period do not begin this book, because you will be with great anxiety to reach the end of this story, there are very few books that can that effect on me.

It is a very well written and dynamic book that gradually makes you become involved in this intrigue and with the main character, which is person who despite here young age and have lived in the castle can mature quickly and instead of cashing his disappointment in the world she decides to make a difference in her life and Thorvaldor kingdom.

Thank you for reading until here

Hello guys!!!

Once again I’m a little late with the post, the guilt is all on the university that made me get immerse on a papers universe without a end.

But let’s go, for today we are going to get out of post-apocalyptic and go back to XIX century with Jane Austen and one of here famous novel, Pride and Prejudice.

It was published for the first time in 1813 and published by T. Egerton, Whitehall, now a days it was published for several others push house and has different books cover.

Let’s go to the plot

Elizabeth Bennet lives in Meryton, on Hertfordshire, with her parents and four sisters. The history begins with the arrival of Mr. Bingley to the towns making people of the community agitated , especially the mothers who are eager to marry off their daughters and of course the young ladies too.

With the sweet Mr. Bingley comes an entourage consisting of his two sisters, his brother I low and his best friend Mr. Darcy, who with his rude way displeases everyone but during the story his character will be unveiled.

Lizzie and Darcy don’t get along from the beginning, but gradually over the course of history, you will learn that as in reality the people’s characters are not completely what they show for society but all or most of them live under a mask, so in this way they will be accepted and well regarded by society or take any advantage of the people living in it, as Mr. Wickham.

Is it worthed ????

The story is wonderful, it's worth reading and rereading because in every reading you will discover more about Lizzie and Fitzwilliam, more about human nature and that despite this history was written three centuries ago man and society continue to be what they were, with difference on their way of act but of the same nature.

You will always find a Wickham ready to dodge and use you until you are no longer of useful to him, you will always find a desperate Lydia to marry and be superior to others or even find a foolish and inappropriate woman as Mrs. Bennet.

They are characters that are perpetuated and who are on our living day, just look beyond the romance and star analyzing the brilliance of Austin, I must say I never read works as close to reality and yet so pleasant as the those of Jane Austin.

So I say with my open heart, she's my favorite writer

Buy the way, it is worth you read the hardcover version with illustrations, they are magnificent, I'll leave here a few illustrations for you to fall in love.

I hope you enjoyed

Thank you for having read until here

Hello everybody!!!

I’ll continue the books review as I said on last week, today we have The Selection trilogy by Kiera Cass and published by HarperTeen.

This book fits into the genre dystopia, however with greater focus on interpersonal relationships of America Singer than the social and economic reorganization postwar. The scenario is a United States of America after the third war and all restructured receiving a new name, Illea, which one the society was separated into caste and the country governed by a king, quite similar with the Dark Ages.

The shift of caste does not happens with facility, the paths are:

Wedding

If a woman marries whit a man from a “higher” caste she is going to rise up to his caste, however if she marries whit someone of “under” caste than her she is going to be lowered to her husband’s caste.

Army

After the young men enter to the military life they are raised to caste 2.

The Selection

A contest between thirty-five young ladies between 16 and 25 years old, with a goal of one of them being chosen by the prince to marry him and become the future queen, quite like The Bachelor tv show. Three finalists will be raised to caste 3 as their respective families and the forth one will become the princess being raised up to caste 1.

Now that you understood the system in which the characters live, let’s go to the plot.

America Singer, a girl of seventeen years old, belonging to the caste 5 and that work as a singer to help her family financially. As all teenager she falls in love and lives this great love with Aspen Leger, however because he belongs to caste 6 they keep this relationship hidden because most likely America’s family wouldn’t allow this date.

After two years together Aspen decide to end up their relationship, because he doesn’t want to see America working so hard as his mother as a servant. Just before their broke up he encourages America to participate of the contest, not to get married but to get into the finalists and be able to raise up her family caste.

Thus, after so many pressing of several ways America decides to apply to represent her province in the contest, to her greats surprise and joy of her mother and little sister May she was chosen.

Despite the poverty and often suffer from a lack of money for food and keep the house warm in winter, until this moment America is not aware of how big the revolt that is brewing for the overthrow of the dictatorial and repressive government. In the midst of all, the idea that the most repudiated starts to become a constant in her mind, she can being in love for the prince Maxon Schreave .

Is it worth???????????

The story was very well written and will not fell boring in any moment, however there are chances that you will want to read the trilogy as fast as you can.

The entire course of the book with historical content and religions features were very well received and absorbed by the author, showing Kiera insight.

If you're looking to live a novel amid the start of an uprising, and walk the secrets hidden behind the walls of a castle, then this book is for you

Thank you for reading until here

With this discovery, she embarks on a retrospective look at the literary ladies—the characters and the writers—whom she has loved since childhood. From early obsessions with the March sisters to her later idolization of Sylvia Plath, Ellis evaluates how her heroines stack up today.

They enslaved humanity three thousand years ago. Tall, strong, perfect, superhuman and near immortal they rule from their glittering palaces in the eternal city in the centre of the world. They are called Those Above by their subjects. They enforce their will with fire and sword. Twenty five years ago mankind mustered an army and rose up against them, only to be slaughtered in a terrible battle. Hope died that day, but hatred survived. Whispers of another revolt are beginning to stir in the hearts of the oppressed: a woman, widowed in the war, who has dedicated her life to revenge; the general, the only man to ever defeat one of Those Above in single combat, summoned forth to raise a new legion; and a boy killer who rises from the gutter to lead an uprising in the capital.

See you on friday!!!!

I’m so sorry for the delay of today’s post, I got a flu and a little sore throat which caused me a little bit of fever so because of those I couldn’t type, but let’s move on and let this things behind and begging with my first Review of the year!!!!!! Uhuuuuuuu……

Continuing with the dystopia topic, today I’m going to be passing for you my point of view about the trilogy of Delirium book from Lauren Oliver and published by HarperCollins, I’ll try to not spoiler, I hope you enjoy it!

The book brings into focus Magdalena Haloway’s life, she lives in Portland Northwest of United States of Amreica, in the social overview we have in perspective that love has been the main reason of the disgrace of our society over the centuries, therefore, the scientists search the solution for this sickness that is deep-rooted on our human being.

After some research they found out the ideal point that a treatment could be apply on the age of sixteen years old, thus they would decrease the chances of a patient to die or lost your mind. The image of the Shhh…, maintainer organ of this dictatorial system, pass to the society that the virus Amor Deliria Nervosa is extremely danger, highly contagious and which could destroy everyone’s life of those that are around of whose is “contaminated”.

As punishment they debase economic and socially the families of those who had a family member that was infected for this “virus” and that shhh… has to anticipate the treatment or sending the contaminated one to the crypts (awful prison).Thus the responsibility for financially raising will depend of the way the family is able to control your relatives, especially the teenagers.

Although, what they don’t divulge are the massacre caused for them to those who rebelled to the new system, whit the use of bombs of high power and troops sent to destroy houses an kill everyone who rebelled against the new order.

Otherwise, the schools teach for kid that the purification was volunteer and the destruction images they see on class were caused by tribal’s fight between the not healed, and that the world outside the wall is too danger and they can’t predict what could happen in there because they would be surround of infected people.

The writer also shows us the diversity of consequences that his virus treatment could bring to people. We have two extremes one on Fred Hargrove character that demonstrate a complete lack of felling and affection for a living creature, a certain sociopathy and Annabel Haloway despite several attempts and the use of different methods that resulted in nothing on her, so this way they sent her to the crypts for being judged inappropriate to live among the society.

But these facts are mostly hidden from society and our character in question, in view of it at the beginning of Delirium is that society in which she lives is perfect and she longs for the day when she is going to be paired with a young man and will be free of risk of contracting Deliria.

But as it is a novel, Alex Sheathes appears in her life and show her how mucky is the community in which she lives and how ignorant of information people who live in there are, as they are manipulated by politicians.

Magdalene undergoing major changes as a person, will leave a bell jar to begin to face reality as it really is. In this quest for survival it acquires more knowledge about how wrong was your perspective and that people should have the right to choose to love and think for themselves.

Unlike other books that focus more internal struggles of the main character, this saga can bring an overview of everything from the war that is going on until the novels that will develop and mysteries about the life of Lena that are being unrevealed

Is it worth?????

Yes, It’s very worth it!

Although the first book is slower due to the author explain the social dynamics, it is very enjoyable and engaging reading this collection. If you like playing powers, riots, people defending their ideas and a novel nothing sloppy in honey then this book is for you.

Hope you enjoyed, the next book will be The Selection by Kiera Cass.

Thank you for reading until here

See you next Friday

Do not forget to follow the news on social networks!!!

In a very simplistic and generalized form dystopia is a script that portrays, a specific nation or the world, after the burst of another major war with the use of radioactive and / or biological weapons, which for our present point of view would become almost a post apocalyptic world.

The author brings in his writing the way that the population was reorganized in social, economic and especially political spheres, which mostly occurs dictatorial abuse, in what usually the principal character end up being exposes in a more “sharped” way to this situation in what it is going to have the chance to change the current situation.

Amid this crossfire, the character will shape your character, your personality and behavior and of course, live a great love, which, in most cases, will influence a lot of their actions.

In latest years this genre has become more popular, we have authors like Lauren Oliver, Ally Condie and Kiera Cass and other titles that have been made into movies, such that Hunger Games and Divergent.

In the next posts I’ll be bringing my opinion of books I have read on this subject, Have you find out the book (collection) of next Friday?

If the answer was no, take a look on the previous post, there is a clue waiting for you.

Thank you for come until here

See you next Friday

Do not forget to follow the news in the socio networks!

Why start a new project at the end of the week, where usually all ends and a few starts?

I tell you, who dictated the law that all that is to start should be in the first day of the week, by the way for those who follow the Christian calendar would be on Sunday, but still begin in a Monday. Confuse ?!

So I say it's time to change our stories, we begin to exercise ourselves when we find to be a convenient day, start the diet on a Saturday, and today we will create new habits that we want !!!

It's time to think outside the box, see things in other perspectives that exist on a single fact, and what makes humans think for other angles? Only one word BOOKS.

Maybe that's why I am so eccentric, rsrsrsrsrs !!!!

In Top 10 you will find my list of books that I "obliged" myself to read this year, unless I get not liking it and I will put away, but I will have to replace it with another one. I must say that I'm at the end of one of them, if you want to know which title is do not miss the next posts.

Thank you for come until here

See you on the next
