There are so much fun, beautiful and enchanting treasures I find in the internet that I'd love to share with you through my Chest of Curiosities, a wish box that keeps my favorite things, curiosities and magical findings in a special place for you to admire.
The first jewel I want to take out of my chest is this magical book, Sorelle, written by Matz Mainka and illustrated by celebrated Spanish illustrator Ana Juan.
Sorelle is the tale of two sisters, joined together by their strong reddish root-like hair. They grew up in solitude, in a world of their own whose access they denied to anyone else… until a spring day when one of them finally met love.
Sorelle is an obscure story about love, sadness and the sickness of obsession; a nebulous world inhabited by gloomy characters and their inner monsters.
This wonderfully illustrated book is actually edited in Italian only, so I can hardly wait for it to be edited in Spanish or English as well! A must have for all those fantasy/gothic lovers!

The only surprise on the list, as far as I'm concerned, is Bob Marley (#18). He would have killed for this kind of fan support when he was alive. 28,719,894 have clicked "like" on his page.

SPOILER ALERT: THIRD gay character in Albert Square, as Ben Mitchell reveals sexuality
By DAILY MAIL REPORTER
Coming out: Joshua Pascoe, who plays Ben Mitchell, will be the third gay member of the soap
As Coronation Street comes under fire for broadcasting too many gay plotlines, EastEnders introduces its third gay character to Walford.
At just 15-years-old, teenager Ben Mitchell will reveal his true sexuality, devastating his masculine father Phil in the process.
Actor Joshua Pascoe, who is the fourth actor to play the part of Ben, joins couple Syed Masood and Christian Clarke as 'the only gays in the village'
An EastEnders source told The Mirror: 'Since the day Ben returned to Walford, he’s been a bit of a disappointment for Phil.
'With his love of dancing and musicals, Ben was not cast from the same tough guy mould as his father.
'It’s ironic that Phil’s efforts to turn his son into a mini version of himself backfire spectacularly when he encourages Ben to go boxing with Duncan.'
Homosexual characters: Syed and Christian will empathise with Ben
The insider added: 'But no one could anticipate the chain of events this will spark around Walford as Ben tries to keep his sexuality secret from his father.
'Poor Ben is terrified of Phil’s reaction but the truth will come out, sooner or later.'
The controversial storyline sees Ben and Duncan's relationship blossom when Ben takes a risk by planting a kiss on his friend.
He is stunned when Duncan returns his affections, rather than pushing him away in disgust.
But when Patrick Trueman spots them, Ben is terrified the shopkeeper will tell his father and heads to his mini-mart to intimidate him.
The situation goes from bad to worse when terrified Patrick calls the police, leaving Phil fuming and demanding an apology.
Loyal Patrick refuses to say sorry, but does keeps the truth about Ben.
Fellow EastEnders Syed Masood and Christian Clarke, played by Marc Elliott and John Partridge, caused controversy during a recent scene that saw them lying in bed together, apparently naked beneath the sheets.
Over 100 viewers complained, saying the intimacy was 'inappropriate'.
But the BBC hit back, saying the show has a duty to reflect 'real life'.
