| Resenha: O Pintor de Memórias⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Gwendolyn Womack ⁣⁣
Record⁣⁣
2016⁣⁣
⁣⁣
⁣⁣
📖 Sinopse⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Os sonhos de Bryan e Linz não são como os nossos. Eles são mais intensos... quase como outras vidas. Os dois experimentam muitos prazeres e sofrimentos, de intrigas no Japão medieval ao Renascimento em Bruges. Eles parecem interligados, ter uma conexão poderosa, mas que é perturbada por um inimigo, cujo plano apenas os dois podem impedir que se concretize.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
💬 Opinião⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Fui influenciado pela Bela (oquetenhopracontar) a ler essa obra, a qual ela me “vendeu” como semelhante a “Recursão”, do Blake Crouch, um livro de ficção científica que envolve viagens no tempo e que amei.⁣
⁣⁣
E “O Pintor de Memórias” tem mesmo essa pegada. Eu definiria como um romance com abordagens históricas, espirituais e científicas. Então compartimentarei o que eu mais gostei dentro desses três tópicos (e o que me fez tirar uma estrela):⁣⁣
⁣⁣
- História: o carro chefe (e melhor coisa) do livro. Ao trabalhar os sonhos realistas dos protagonistas, a autora recria fatos históricos, passando pelo Egito Antigo (10.000 a.C.), pelo Império Romano (250 d.C.), e pelo descobrimento das Américas (986 d.C). Ao mesmo tempo que nos entretemos, aprendemos sobre marcos históricos de vikings, violinistas famosos, personalidades importantes na criação da filosofia budista, entre outros. Uma sacada genial.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
- Espiritualidade: a parte que menos me interessou e que acabou sendo a mais relevante para a história. Mas isso é algo pessoal e, caso você se interesse por assuntos relacionados a reencarnação, por exemplo, irá se identificar.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
- Ciência: a abordagem que mais me deixou instigado, a princípio, mas a autora acaba decidindo não seguir por esse caminho. Com protagonistas geneticistas (como eu rs), farmacêuticos e pesquisadores (como eu de novo rs), fiquei na torcida para que a obra aprofundasse nas bases fisiológicas e químicas do composto que serve de gatilho para os episódios históricos, mas ela preferiu a espiritualidade rs.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
De toda forma, a história é incrível, tem um desenrolar satisfatório e escrita inteligente, apesar de não ter a mesma grandiosidade de “Recursão”.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Nota: 4 em 5 ⭐

If given the chance would you want to see your future???

Today I’m revealing the stunning cover for The Premonitions Club by gwendolyn.womack. It is coming out in April 2025.

Blurb:
When Liv and her friends stumble on old boxes of psychic predictions that were never meant to be found, they are put on the radar of dangerous people who’d do anything to get their hands on those predictions.

The future can be changed. You just have to see it first.

When Liv Hall and her friends find boxes of letters hidden in her grandfather’s attic, they discover hundreds of psychic predictions addressed to the Premonitions Bureau, a bureau to investigate psychic abilities that mysteriously closed in 1993. As the group reads decades-old premonitions, they stumble on letters from powerful psychics who mailed in their predictions and then disappeared

A post online about the found predictions alerts a black ops group in charge of the military’s paranormal research, who will do anything to get their hands on the letters and the psychics who wrote them.

“O Pintor de Memórias” - Gwendolyn Womack.
.
Você acredita em almas gêmeas?
Em reencarnação?
Um livro com pegadas tanto históricas, quanto espirituais e científicas, que vai unindo tudo de forma perfeita, igual aos quebra cabeças que a Linz tanto ama.

Em “O Pintor de Memórias”, seguimos o romance de Bryan e Linz, duas pessoas que já se conhecem de outros lugares, duas almas antigas que estão fadadas a se reencontrarem, vida após vida, sob diferentes nomes, porém isso deixamos para o final do livro.

O livro relata uma história de amor que sobrevive durante anos, muitos e muitos anos, durante diferentes períodos de tempo. Tudo começa quando um grupo de cientistas descobrem um remédio capaz de construir (ou nos fazer lembrar) memórias.

A medida que os fatos vão sendo contados, entramos cada vez mais de cabeça na história, sentindo uma ânsia surreal de saber qual vai ser a vida que virá a seguir, qual vai ser a recordação bombástica.

Voltando tudo aos tempos dos deuses antigos do Egito, o livro conta várias histórias que estão todas interligadas e que tem uma razão para ser, existe uma grande explicação por detrás de tudo que aconteceu e quando a gente descobre isso… nosso cérebro simplesmente explode.

Trazendo várias curiosidades do Egito, vários mitos e contos surreais, a autora enlaça passado com presente e com futuro de uma forma que é excepcional. Nos pegamos pensando “e se realmente foi assim que aconteceu?” ou “e se foi para isso que as pirâmides do Egito foram criadas?”.

A autora pegou um dos grandes mistérios da humanidade e conseguiu escrever não somente um livro brilhante, como também colocou fatos reais com conspirações, tudo em uma linda trama super bem amarrada.

Ao decorrer do livro, é impossível não se questionar se isso realmente é verídico. Se de fato continuamos nos encontrando com as mesmas pessoas, vida após vida, sob diferentes “personagens”, para que os ensinamentos sejam completos.

Já estava há muito tempo querendo ler esse livro e não fiquei decepcionada.

Last week, while organizing my bookshelf, I came across `The Memory Painter`. As I sat down to read it, I remembered why it had caught my attention. Turns out, it was for all the right reasons! The intriguing title aside, this book holds within its pages a story that will stay with you.

Author Gwedolyn Womack’s (gwendolyn.womack) novel `The Memory Painter` spans centuries and continents to tell a tale of lovers who are destined to meet in every life, only to separate.

Within minutes, I was completely engrossed in the story of Linz and Bryan. Linz is a neurogeneticist researching how the brain makes memories. Ever heard of that before? I hadn`t. Bryan is an artist with an unusual gift. Bryan’s paintings are unique in that he paints memories of his past lives!

When Linz and Bryan meet, it is a union (or rather a reunion) arranged by fate. In each life, Linz and Bryan have lost to a malevolent someone who stalks them across lifetimes, unrelenting in animosity. Will this life be any different? Who among the people they know stalks them as their secret enemy?

The novel progresses through incidents that throw light on the previous lives of the central characters. A pattern of complex relationships that govern a group of souls emerges, slowly but surely. There is passion, betrayal, deceit, hatred, and even murder! 

The Memory Painter has an intricate and satisfying plot. It would have been easy to lose the reader in the maze of many lifetimes but Gwendolyn holds the tale together by expertly weaving all the lives into an understandable interconnected bigger whole.

While the story does invite some deep thoughts, it is not overly philosophical at any time. For those who like their thrills, there are quite a few unexpected twists to keep you glued to the pages.

Recommended to anyone looking for a book that`s refreshingly different, off-beat, and one-of-a-kind!

The Time Collector by Gwendolyn Womack. (gwendolyn.womack ) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
-
I truly loved this book! I had never read a book about Psychometrists before and I was so intrigued and captured by the concept.
-
Our main characters are Roan and Melicent. They are both Psychometrists meaning they have the ability to touch objects and see the imprints of who it belonged to and basically read the history of any given artifact.
-
I loved the strong character development, the chemistry between characters, the mystery and puzzle solving was on point, and I thought the pacing of the book was excellently done.
-
This book has it all mystery, danger, strong characters, a touch of romance. It draws you in and takes you on a delightful adventure. I enjoyed it so much and can’t wait to recommend it to people when it comes out!
-
Thank you Netgalley for my free Advanced Readers copy of this book!

Today is a blue day. It’s gloomy and chilly here in Chicago which coincides perfectly with my dreary mood. .

On a brighter note, I just finished How To Love A Duke in Ten Days by kerriganbyrne and it was phenomenal! I’m now impatiently waiting till 2020 to read the sequel. I really need to start checking release dates before I start a new book. But I don’t regret reading it. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!!! I have a full review up on my blog(link in bio). .

The Premonitions Club by gwendolyn.womack

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This book was a total surprise from the moment it came on my desk to me randomly deciding to pick it up all the way through to the final pages. The story was firmly YA while also surprisingly adult with the government aspect of it. A very different take on the paranormal and I loved how it wasn’t so fantastical and very real-world based.

BOOK REVIEW: The Fortune Teller by Gwendolyn Womack
•
Semele Cavnow, accomplished antiquities appraiser and graphologist, lands the gig of her dreams--the chance to appraise the infamous private collection of recently deceased Marcel Bossard.
•
Tucked away in the midst of Bossard`s vast collection, Semele finds a mysterious and ancient manuscript that isn`t accounted for anywhere, and as soon she begins to translate the archaic words, her carefully curated life begins to unravel at the seams. Soon Semele understands that the manuscript is at once a memoir and a prophecy--one that is connected to her in ways she never would have imagined.
‐----------------------------
Womack gracefully weaves present and (several) past narratives into a cohesive story with the help of tarot card imagery. There`s almost a sense of foreboding that`s always lurking around the corner (the page?) that I quite enjoyed, though the ending felt a little incomplete to me. I flew through this novel in the span of about two days, and can say it`s a fun and not too heavy read. I`d recommend for fans of light historical fiction, or those interested in tarot or divination. Overall, I`d give it ★★★☆☆ (3.5)

⋆. 𐙚˚࿔ Cinco livros para me conhecer! 𝜗𝜚˚⋆

“Amanhã você vai entender” da Rebecca Stead é um dos primeiros livros que eu li, com 11 anos, moldou minha personalidade e segue sendo um dos meus favoritos até hoje!

“Orgulho e Preconceito” da Jane Austen: Meu xodózinho, um dos melhores que eu já li.

“A Hipótese do Amor” da Ali Hazelwood: Absolutamente amo os romances nerds que a Ali escreve e esse é um dos meus favoritos!

“O Pintor de Memórias” da Gwendolyn Womack não é um livro tão conhecido, mas é maravilhoso! Queria muito uma continuação 😩 e recomendo muito.

“As Vantagens de ser Invisível” do Stephen Chbosky é um dos livros mais marcantes que já li e um dos meus favoritos da vida! Provavelmente o que eu mais me fez chorar, também.

The Time Collector is a book I knew nothing about, hadn’t even heard of it, but picked it up in a book store. It has an interesting premise (Roan, a psychometrist, is investigating the disappearance of his best friend Stuart, who can also read objects by touching them + a light romance with a psychometrist who has just discovered her talent and is in danger after inadvertently announcing her ability at Antiques Roadshow and the video goes viral), but tbh I was equally drawn to this book simply because I hadn’t heard of it + Yangsze Choo blurbed it. 2/3 of the way through and I’m not sorry about my decision!
