My journey into publishing my poetry book

I was sitting down one day after I failed my medical school admission test thinking at what I could have done better to pass it.

I live in Italy as a lot of you may know, and there is a huge national admission test to pass and get into medical school, just 1 person out of 10 gets in, 68.000 people trying for 12.000 spots.

I knew I didn't work hard enough.

I was motivated but something was missing.

So many people will tell you that you won't make it, and their opinion is one of the reasons why you actually won't, you care too much of that.

I recalled myself, and I said:

"This year I will study harder than I ever did, I will work harder than ever, and I will make it! And if I won't at least I won't be regretting for the rest of my life that I didn't work harder, knowing that I could."

I started writing many of my thoughts during the beginning of this journey, so this book was born.

I think I had a great idea, all of us have so many other quotes that motivates us and make us think that we can make it, and in a world of negativity I thought that someone could get inspired by my experiences.

"Hold on" was born.

This is a collection of poems, but not really poems, it's a collection of thoughts, experiences and images to help you stay focused on your goals and why you shouldn't be giving up.

The ebook version is 0.99$, I tried making it as affordable as I could, because the lack of motivation is one of the worse things that could happen to you while you have a goal.

In this book you will also find a lot of space to make it as your diary to write your own quotes, plans and thoughts.

The paperback is pretty short and small so you can bring it around with you and whenever you feel like giving up, you open it and see your thoughts and mine, and stop thinking that you can't do it.

Why you should read the ''Shatter me'' series right now.

I've read many reviews about the Shatter me series. And I have this bad habit of buying things and then reading reviews, when I watched some YouTube videos of people talking about this series I was kind of regretting the choice of buying it without knowing anything about it. The book got here, I got an edition with three books in one, and I started it looking for a reason to hate it But at the end I started it with no particular expectation. I started the first book, I wasn't loving it but I was still interested in the story. For those of you who may not know, the shatter me series follows the story of Juliette, a girl who's touch is deadly, she can kill people just touching them. She has been considered a monster by everybody and no one actually ever loved her, until she knows a guy that looks like he's immune to her touch. There is some kind of love triangle at the beginning, there is some insta love, but trust me, just go on with the series, i...

Book review: Did I mention I love you?

This book was terrible. I think this is the lowest rate I've ever given and I don't want to be too evil because the author of the book at the time of the book coming out was 17, she was so young and still has a lot of room for improvement. Props to her for being able to get published at this young age. This is the usual novel discovered by a publisher on Wattpad and we follow the story of the main character Eden following the "California dream" she, like many girls her age, has always dreamed of visiting California. Her mom and dad are divorced and her dad decides to show up in her life asking her if she wanted to go spend some time with him and his new wife and kids in California. She said yes and as soon as she gets there she hates the place, and at the end California was not what she was expecting. She meets her stepbrother and he is the one she'll fall in love with. I'm going to stop here with the plot to avoid spoilers in case you are...

Restore me - book review - NON spoiler review and discussion

I know I have to stop prewriting articles because I always end up changing my mind. So, I finished the Shatter me series (non spoiler review here ) or at least I finished the first three books of the series thinking that they were the only ones. I thought, maybe I just need to read the novellas to know what's going to happen next. Then I found out that there are other books to the series, Restore me and Defy me. I've written a TBR and a wrap up already because I didn't think I was going to read Restore me now, my plans changed so I'll be deleting that post because I'll probably be finished with Defy me by tomorrow and it's technically still october. The last two books are not available in italian so I had to directly order them from the U.K to Italy 'cause my stupid brain couldn't think of Amazon at that moment. It said that I would have received the books by the 12th of November, I just couldn't wait that much, I saw that the ebooks...
