Hace tiempo que quiero este libro y, aunque nunca leí algo de R.J. Palacio (y dudo que lo haga a esta altura), realmente tenía ganas de tener 365 Days of Wonder. Este es un libro con una frase hermosa para cada día del año. No es una obra de ficción y, bueno, no sé muy bien qué hacer como reseña xD. AMÉ CADA SEGUNDO DE ESTE LIBRO y sin duda voy a compartirlo con otros. Es sumamente hermoso, cautivador e inspirador. Hay una frase para cada día y sin duda voy a leerlas hasta que termine el año <3 ¡Son preciosas! La idea de hacer este libro me parece simplemente preciosa, y todos deberían saber de esto. ¡Qué bello!

💖ENERO💖
Mis dos frases favoritas fueron "Just be who you want to be, not what others want to see." y "The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams."
💛FEBRERO💛
Mis favoritas fueron "Everything you can imagine is real." y "The smile is the shortest distance between two persons."
💚MARZO💚
Las que más me gustaron fueron "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it's the only thing that ever has.", "Life is a ticket to the greatest show on Earth." y "Life is about using the whole box of crayons."
💙ABRIL💙
Mis favoritas fueron "Be the change you want to see in the world.", "Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards." y "The universe is what you illustrate it to be."
💜MAYO💜
Las que más me gustaron fueron "You're free to make your own choices, but you will never be free of the consequences of your choices." y "Making a million friends is not a miracle... the miracle is to make such a friend who can stand with you when millions are against you."
💖JUNIO💖
Mis 4 favoritas fueron "Ignorance is not saying 'I don't know'. Ignorance is saying 'I don't want to know'.", "The only person you are destined to become is the person you decide to be.", "In a gentle way, you can shake the world." y "Start by doing the necessary, then the possible, and suddenly you are doing the impossible."
💛JULIO💛
Acá van mis favoritas: "Great works are performed not by strength but by perseverance.", "Shoot for the moon, because even if you miss, you'll land among the stars.", "Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away." y "Success does not come through grades, degrees or distinctions. It comes through experiences that expand your belief in what is possible."
💚AGOSTO💚
De acá tengo dos que me encantaron: "Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying 'I will try again tomorrow'." y "Just keep swimming no matter how hard the current."
💙SEPTIEMBRE💙
Las 2 que más amé fueron "Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself." y "Accept what you can't change. Change what you can't accept."
💜OCTUBRE💜
Mi Top 3 de este mes es: ""Great opportunities to help others seldom come, but small ones surround us every day.", "Normal is a setting in a washing machine." y "Even the darkest hour has only sixty minutes."
💖NOVIEMBRE💖
Mis favoritas fueron "No one is good at everything but everyone is good at something." y "When you are living the best version of yourself, you inspire others to live their best versions of themselves."
💛DICIEMBRE💛
Y del último mes del año... "All our dreams can come true - if we have the courage to pursue them." y "Even the smallest person can change the course of the future."

I love that there is a collection of precepts. I think this is best used by a teacher, but some students may want to read it.

We're All Wonders gibi bu kitabı da Wonder'ı henüz okumadan okudum ve okumak için Wonder'ı okumak gerektiğini düşünmüyorum. Yine de son birkaç bölümde Wonder'ın kurgusu ile ilgili spoiler olabilecek cümleler geçiyor o nedenle Wonder'ı okuduktan sonra okumak daha iyi olabilir spoiler sevmeyenler için.

Kitap genel olarak zorbalık konusu üzerine yazılan 12 mektup tarzı yazıdan ve 365 'be kind to one another' temalı aforizmadan oluşuyor.

Kullanılan aforizmaların pek çoğu düşündüğümde beni ifade etmeyen ve anlamlandıramadığım cümlelerdi. Hatta bir yerden sonra aşırı derecede birbirine benzer aforizmalar kullanılmıştı ve aynı şeyleri okumaktan oldukça sıkıldım bu nedenle. Pek çoğuna üzerine ciddi olarak düşünce sinirlendim de, bu nedenle bir süre sonra düşünmeyi bırakıp okuyup geçtim.

Kısacası bana hitap etmeyen bir kitaptı ama zorbalık ile ilgili vermeye çalıştığı mesajlar değerli. Keşke kendisini bu kadar tekrar etmeseydi.
