Pollyanna Grows Up

I loved Pollyanna, I often find myself playing the Glad Game as well, oh I haven't explained it here yet, my bad, the rules are you need to always try to find things to be glad for, even if it might seem impossible sometimes. So in this book, Pollyanna has grown, and once again we see her overcoming the problems and difficult times of life, and she's so amazing! I wish I could be at least half as strong as her. This time we meet her new friends, I love them all too, specially Jamie, he's such a sweetie.

Even if Pollyanna Grows Up is a more teenage book, with love issues and such, Pollyanna is such a lovely character, I couldn't help but read these two books as fast as I could and wish her all the best! I want to be like her. I've really been trying to, and I'm glad with it ♥

Pollyanna

I'm not a very great fan of best-sellers, but one day a friend of mine and I were having a discussion about something I've already forgotten, and she made fun of one seeing the world in pink colors, and I didn't uderstand ti, so she told me it was because of Pollyanna, a very optimistic character from a silly children's book, she also told me not to read it, cause it was just too silly. But I'm curious and being a world literature classic, I just needed to check it and surprisingly I loved it! In this book we meet Pollyanna, a little girl with freckles and blond hair, she had already lost her mom, and now that her dad has also passed away, she is living with her aunt, who is very serious and strict, and despite being young and rich, she never seems happy and treats Pollyanna very coldly. Slowly our protagonist gets to melt her aunt's frozen heart, and she starts making changes in the whole city, its people are happier and it even becomes a good place to live. All thanks to the little girl's sunny personality and her Glad Game. I myself am very glad I could read this book, I think everybody should as well ♥

"From the King of Kings--Love"

Today I read Cyrano De Bergerac by Edmond Rostand, it's such a fun and beautiful love story. Oh Cyrano, even if your nose is outstanding ( I didn't imagine it being this big, until I googled the title for photos!... ), I'm sure your heart and talent surpass it easily!

My favorite book characters are always quixotic. Don Quijote de La Mancha, Jacinto de Tormes, Policarpo Quaresma, Cyrano de Bergerac, I love you all so much! Thank you for believing in your dreams!~ I shall pursue mine too.

"I know not what tomorrow will bring"

I really love Fernando Pessoa. He's been such an amazing and impressive person.

I really admire him, how much he had loved his language, his country, the Art, poetry, literature, the people. And how he devoted himself to all these.

This is my small collection of his books ( thank you my dear friend who had given me another one, I love it! ), in the sign it says " My Motherland is the Portuguese Language".
