00:00Today the book hauls of new books have just entered the bookstores, they all have excellent premises to be
00:05some good books,
00:06So let's see them together and hope we don't get disappointed.
00:09The first one I'll show you is Three Names by Florence Knapp, this was given to me by Martina who I thank
00:14again.
00:15After the birth of her baby, protagonist Cora must choose a name for him.
00:19In three alternative chapters, each name leads to a different destiny.
00:23The premise seems like that of a novel that explores how a seemingly small choice can change your entire life.
00:30What intrigues me about this plot is how it is used to talk about interesting topics,
00:36for example family, choice, identity, the consequences of our actions.
00:41I've already started the next book because I couldn't resist, it's definitely up my alley. What do they write?
00:46tears.
00:47Bessam, our protagonist, is a young woman living in Cameroon where homosexuality is a crime.
00:52When they meet and fall in love, the two will have to face prejudice, repression and separation.
00:59The narrative also follows the heartbroken letters Bessam writes as he tries to find her years later.
01:05I'm enjoying the moment and it also has beautiful writing that is very delicate.
01:10The Gilda Chronicles by Jewel Gomez.
01:12It's 1850 and the story is about a girl who runs away from a plantation in Mississippi.
01:18and is saved by Gilda, a woman who offers her refuge, education and a new chance.
01:23When he then discovers that Gilda and her friend are part of a community of immortal vampires,
01:29She too will enter this world and take the name Gilda.
01:32What's interesting is that these vampires don't feed by killing,
01:36but they are looking for an alternative way, an ethical way to survive.
01:40Finally, Hazel said no.
01:42Hazel is a student who recently moved to a small town for her senior year.
01:48Lyceum.
01:48When the principal offers her sexual blackmail to help her on her college mission, Hazel says no.
01:54And this will have an impact on her, her family, and the entire community.
01:58The story and the premises and above all the themes addressed are all interesting in my opinion,
02:04so let's hope it doesn't disappoint me.
02:05These were all the books, if you have already read them, are curious or want to read them,
02:09Let me know what you think in the comments.
02:12Thank you all.
