Rated Los Tres Astronautas 10/10
I recently ventured into reading my first book in Spanish, and it happened to be a children's book. Despite its simplicity, I believe one has to start somewhere on the language-learning journey. The book pleasantly surprised me with its charming illustrations and a heartwarming message of peace. The overall experience was a quick and straightforward read, making it an enjoyable step in my language exploration.
Rated Daily Rituals: Women at Work 8/10
This book contains a lot of great stories of women artists. Maybe too much. It took me more than one year to finish this book.
Rated The Way of the Runner: A Journey into the Fabled World of Japanese Running 8/10
Great book about running in Japan. I am not a real runner but now I know what "ekiden" is. The book describes not only the running culture in Japan but also part of Japan's cuture. You will know what is an ekiden, why Japanese runners are some of the best in the world, how high schools, universities and companies invest in running. You will also read some plausible theories of why Japanese runners are not even better. Adharanand is a great storyteller and, although the book is a little bit long, it gets better as it approaches the end.

Rated Seven Languages in Seven Weeks: A Pragmatic Guide to Learning Programming Languages 10/10
I have read this book eight years ago and it still is one of my favorite books.<br/>In the past months I have had the pleasure of getting in touch with the author (now he has a company called Groxio which helps you become a better developer) and I can understand even more what he thinks about the importance of learning different programming languages. <br/><br/>An important fact: this book helped Jose Valim create Elixir.

Rated Zion and the BIG Mountain! 8/10
This is a beautiful little book for kids. It tells the story of Zion, a boy who wants to go to the top of the Zion Mountain. He is helped by some animals in his task. The text is simple and the illustrations are great. Good for non-native English speakers too.<br/><br/>Sometimes I felt that there wasn't much action so I had to read it more slowly than usual.
Rated Please Don't Tell Cooper He's a Dog (Mom’s Choice Award Recipient—Gold) 10/10
This is a beautiful children's book that can be read by adults too. It tells the story of Cooper, a fascinating dog that, it seems, thinks he is a human. Every page contains a small poem and a beautiful image. It is a very easy read. I would love to have kids to read this book to.

Rated On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft 10/10
This is a book mostly about writing fiction, but it can be useful to those that want to write non fiction too.<br/><br/>The first part is mostly an autobiography and King is an excellent writer, so this part is very entertaining.

Rated Celular: como dar um tempo 10/10
Não esperava que fosse ser tão bom. Contém boas dicas, discussão de princípios e indicação de ferramentas. A principal novidade para mim foi a relevância de mindfulness para o objetivo de ficar menos ligado ao celular.
