How Do We Choose The Highlighted Posts?
All of you must be wondering how we picked the authors who get into the highlight. As some of the good curation projects out there, our highlighted authors are also handpicked to ensure that we diversify the content and the recommendations in the highlight. We want this highlight to be a place where people get inspiration, a place to learn something new, and even finding a recommendation.
Hence, throughout the week, the moderators will check the community and manually hand pick the posts. Some factors includes : the post subject, post quality, engagement, personal voice, and general effort.
| Author | Title | Description |
|---|---|---|
  | Reading Challenge - Book Written by a Woman - A Danger to Itself | "Like many of Victoria Valverde's books, this story is also about unsolved crime, murders, dark things. It is set in a religious boarding school called Annavenim, where a year ago there was a "suicide" of a young student named Eloy Sadler, apparently no one knew what had happened and why this person had "taken his life", but it is natural to forget about him little by little. Until a new student arrived with an incredible resemblance to Eloy, his name was Kaden Bloodworth. Since he arrived at the school everyone set their sights on him, he was too similar to Eloy to go unnoticed and strange things began to happen since his appearance." |
  | [ESP/ENG] Voces de Chernóbil: un libro que enmarca el otro lado del dolor y la tragedia - Voices from Chernobyl: a book that frames the other side of pain and tragedy | "Voices of Chernobyl is a book that narrates the first-person testimonies of some of those who saw firsthand the nuclear disaster that occurred in the city of Pripyat, a former Soviet Union. They are stories intertwined with each other, in which we delve into the nostalgia and pain of the characters who are in charge of narrating their experiences, their losses and the fears that still remain carved in their memory. We know more about what surrounded the explosion of the reactor, the victims of radiation and the successive events that followed the imminent danger of a possible catastrophe." |
  | Bloom: El extraño pajarito que salvó a una familia | "This is a book about overcoming adversities of living with the bad things that happen to us and getting the strength to continue, although it is not easy, it is the triumph of a family over tragedy and how angels really come in all shapes and sizes to help us move forward. It is an easy book to read because it is also full of black and white photographs of the important moments of the Bloom family. One of my most sobering phrases in this book is: "Penguin taught us that helping others feel better is the best and easiest way to help yourself feel better."." |
  | Review: The Mysterious Island (Jules Verne) — Reseña de La Isla Misteriosa de Julio Verne | "We are set in the year 1865. These men are lost in the ocean but at the same time they are escaping from a civil war and have nothing to lose. A short time later they realize that they are on an island, and that it is apparently uninhabited. In honor of the president of their country, they name it "Lincoln Island". They decide to call themselves citizens of Lincoln Island, and not castaways, which psychologically speaking, perhaps was a perception that helped them to cope with their situation better, as they are predisposed to bring civilization to this remote island, instead of letting it turn them into "savages"." |
  | A Beautiful Mind - 1st book I read for this year 🥺 | "I had my interest in this book simply because I wanted to read another biography book. It was about John Forbes Nash Jr., a genius who suffered from schizophrenia for decades, and bravely shared his story through his own lens and through the stories told by the people around him. During the mid 1900s, there was always a stigma associated with mental illnesses. It was emphasized in the book and could be felt by the readers who would read it." |
