Check Out This Week's Recommendations! (12/11/2021)

Everless (Book)

Everless is an excellent novel that will make you never want to stop reading. This whole story settles in the kingdom of Sempera, a place in which time is currency, and blood is time. Losing blood causes people's lifespan to be shortened, depending on how much it is that they lost, so it can be hours, days, weeks, months, or even years.

In this fantasy novel, our main character is Jules, a teenager that is just about to turn 18, who has been watching her father get sicker, and sicker because he is giving more time to pay for their life. In order to keep him alive, Jules takes a servant job at the Everless castle. The exact same place that she used to live in with her dad, when she was a little girl, and he was a healthy person before they were chased away years ago.

This New York Times bestseller is incredible. Here, Sara Holland makes us forget about reality and focus on nothing else than her book. I promise that I am not exaggerating when I tell you that this is an excellent novel, one of those books that you open in the morning and close at night time. The author uses the perfect mix of rich mythology, romance, adventure and gives you an extremely surprising ending that will leave you wordless.

I recommend this book for everyone that is over the age of thirteen, since it has things that younger kids may not understand, and that would ruin the whole book because every single scene is amazing!

The Circle (Reality Show)

The Circle is a reality show that takes place in the USA. In this reality, nine competitors will interact with each other through an online chat, and that means that there will not be any social interaction until the final round. In the show, many people use fake profiles instead of using a real one, because the main thing about this game is being strategic. And that is one of the things that make you realize that you should be very careful while talking to strangers on social media such as us, Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, etc.

You will learn that not everything that you see on the internet is real and that you should think more than once if the relationship that you are forming is actually genuine because nobody knows who might be behind the screen.

I loved this Netflix show because it is not only extremely fun to watch, but it is actually very useful since you learn how to take care of yourself in social media, by seeing players “play the game” and take care of themselves throughout the game.

This show is for almost everyone that likes social media, influencers and things that are similar to that. And obviously to those who may not be sure if they are online friends are actually who they say they are.
