Wrap Up



Hello!! I was able to read 9 books for the month of February and I like some of them!


Upon Destiny's Song, Mike Ericksen & Sage Steadman
4/5⭐⭐⭐⭐
"Upon Destiny's Song" is a remarkable true story about sacrifice, courage and love. Ane Marie Madsen was only ten-years-old when she immigrated to Utah with her family. She was numbered in the ill-fated Willie Handcart Company of 1856, which saw the deaths of almost a third of the company when storms hit Wyoming. After settling in Utah, Ane Marie's faith is tested once again as her path moves through the misadventures of colonizing a new territory ridden with danger and disease. Over 150 years later, descendent Mike Ericksen retells this epic journey and discovers lessons for his own modern sojourn.
Ericksen has previously told the story of his ancestors harrowing trek through song and speaking engagements held across the country. Now the amazing story and its beautiful message is finally available in "Upon Destiny's Song."

El manuscrito encontrado en Accra, Paulo Coelho
3/5 ⭐⭐⭐
14 de julio de 1099. Mientras Jerusalén se prepara para la invasión de los cruzados, un griego conocido como el Copto convoca al pueblo, jóvenes y viejos, hombres y mujeres, a reunirse junto a él. Mientras esperan el ataque enemigo, las gentes le preguntan acerca de la derrota y la soledad, la lucha y el cambio, sobre el amor y la lealtad, el destino, el sexo y la elegancia, la sabiduría y, también, lo que aguarda en el futuro...
Las respuestas que obtuvierno siguen siendo válidas mil años después. Paulo Coelho recoge en El manuscrito encontrado en Accra las reflexiones que se dieron en esa noche mágica en la que la derrota era inminente y el Copto habló.
La alargada sombra del amor, Mathias Malzieu
3/5 ⭐⭐⭐

Mathias, un joven treintañero, acaba de perder a su madre. El período de duelo se cierne sobre él. Mientras espera en el parking del hospital a su padre y a su hermana, ocurre un hecho insólito. Un gigante se le aparece y le anuncia: «Soy el gigante Jack, doctor en sombrología. Trato a las personas aquejadas de duelo administrándoles un trozo de mi sombra. Con la sombra se puede batir el dolor y la muerte.»
Será Mathias capaz de vencer el dolor? ¿Evitará al abismo? ¿Somos nosotros mismos capaces de asumir la pérdida de un amor, un familiar o un amigo?
