Dewey's 24 Hour Readathon April 2018: Wrap up!

The readathon is over! And it honestly was a lot of fun. I hadn't been reading too much lately, and it was great to be able to dedicate one day to just that.  Now let me tell you about the 546 pages I read. El maratón de lectura ha terminado. Y la verdad que lo disfruté mucho. Últimamente no había tenido tiempo para leer, y me encantó poder dedicar un día a hacer solo eso. Ahora dejadme que os cuente que me parecen las 546 páginas que leí.   -"We should all be feminists" & "Dear Ijeawele, A feminist manifesto in fifteen suggestions", by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. I gave 5 stars to both of these books. It was the first two I read, and I completely loved them.  I liked "We should all be feminists" a bit less, since it was more of general message.

Fashion and feminism

Today's post is going to be deeper than usual. Because sometimes I feel like talking about these topics, rather than just showing you pictures and videos with pretty things on them. When I picked the January issue of UK Vogue, something caught my eye immediately. It's the headline than we can see on the cover, it reads "The woman who took on football and won". I had no clue what that was about, so it was one of the first articles I checked. It's actually about Eva Carneiro, who used to work as a doctor for Chelsea FC. If you don't know her and her story, google it because it's an interesting one. La entrada de hoy es más profunda de lo normal. Porque a veces me apetece hablar de estos temas, no solo poner fotos y vídeos bonitos. Cuando tuve el número de enero de Vogue UK en mis manos por primera vez, hubo algo que me llamó la atención.
