@jhocxi/review-eleanor-and-park-by-rainbow-rowell-resena-eleanor-y-park-de-rainbow-rowell-ing-esp
Rainbow Rowell's book tells the story of two young people living in an outcast neighbourhood. On the one hand, we have Park. A taciturn boy, with various cultural uneasiness and a passion for music. On the other, Eleanor, who arrives new to a neighbourhood where the first thing that catches the eye is her characteristic appearance. An everyday event, such as travelling by bus, will unite our protagonists, who will grow up and enjoy together comics, books, music and discover the meaning of pure, overwhelming, true and unique first love.
@tomsan/you-are-a-badass-by-jen-sincero-or-book-review
What sets "You Are a Badass at Making Money" apart is Sincero's unapologetic stance on combining spiritual growth with financial success. He guides readers on a journey of self-discovery, helping us uncover and release the deeply ingrained money-related fears and doubts that have hindered our progress. By intertwining personal anecdotes with actionable advice, Sincero makes the process of financial transformation feel both tangible and within reach.
@josehany/the-country-of-the-blind-or-el-pais-de-los-ciegos-hg-wells-or-review
This is a short story but it is not a common reading, I dare say that even the intentions of the main character are what almost the majority of the population carries within themselves, waiting for an opportunity to pull out their claws, as something inevitable in life. society. The country of the Blind by H.G. Wells. I suggest that if you are thinking of reading this book then do not read more from here because I know myself and I am not able to keep things precise without spoiling anything.
Snow In April by Rosamunde Pilcher is a book about twenty-year-old, Caroline Cliburn. With her father dead, her stepmother, remarried and her elder, hippie brother, Angus Cliburn, estranged, Caroline and her little brother, Jody find home much more stifling than anticipated. Diana, their chic stepmother, who is nothing short of elegant, beautiful, high on social standing and in a bid to ‘keep things tidy within the family,” suggests and puts Caroline up to marry her younger brother, Hugh.

synopsis:
He’s forbidden, a blue-eyed daydream, and… my gorgeous childhood rival. The first time I locked eyes with Tate Meadows, I drowned in an allusive game of he loves me, he loves me not, and I haven’t recovered since, no matter how deeply he hates me now. Tate wasn’t only my first love…
He’s my first heartache.
Frenemy
Regret. He’s the broken rebel with a cause who saved me.
I’m the pink-obsessed good girl, riddled in depression.
Together, we’re forbidden, forced into our elite parents’ Manhattan feud.
But I would have loved him till the end of time, only… I ruined us instead. When we were younger, Tate promised we’d escape to the moon.
Now, his heated gaze only promises one thing… complete and utter carnage. And if it’s anything I know, it’s that he always wins. Always. Until he doesn’t…
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!
