July TBR

Image
The year is moving very fast now. It's interesting a few weeks felt interminable and then suddenly now it's already July, already halfway through 2020 has come and gone! Last month was not great but I had already set up the To Be Read pile for July and here it is: For the Literally Dead Book Club *Zone One by Colson Whitehead   A pandemic has devastated the planet. The plague has sorted humanity into two types: the uninfected and the infected, the living and the living dead. Now the plague is receding, and Americans are busy rebuild­ing civilization under orders from the provisional govern­ment based in Buffalo. Their top mission: the resettlement of Manhattan. Armed forces have successfully reclaimed the island south of Canal Street—aka Zone One—but pockets of plague-ridden squatters remain. While the army has eliminated the most dangerous of the infected, teams of civilian volunteers are tasked with clearing out a more innocuous variety—the “malfunctioning” stragglers, who ex...

April Favorites

Image
This month: Book-related: Battle Royale, Toukoshun Takami. Obsidio, Aime Kaufman & Jay Kristoff For movies. Captain Marvel 8/10 of enjoyment. She is a strong woman who is very confused and very insecure about who she is and what she wants, but in the end, she stands up for herself and is determined to choose her own way from then onward. It is not as action packed as other superhero movies but it has enough action-self discovery drama to make it a very enjoyable movie. Avengers End game: 10/10 on enjoyment Going with Style  This one I did not see it when it first came out but I finally manage to watch it, and loved it!! It's hilarious. These grandpas are awesome XD

The Book Thief

Image
Author: Markus Zusak Pages: 552 Genre: Historical Fiction First Published: 2005 Book description (from Good Reads): Trying to make sense of the horrors of WWII, Death relates the story of Liesel- a young German girl whose book-stealing and story-telling talents help sustain her family and the Jewish man they are hiding, as well as their neighbors. Note: This story has been reread several times, it is very difficult to know if the opinions are for sentimental value or if they are indeed because of the result of an objective analysis. Things to consider: Characters: 10.0  Death is a kind gentle force of nature in this case. He is a good narrator indeed.  Liesel is a young girl, very likable, she is strong-willed, defiant, loving, caring, brave. As you get to know her and discover more about her you end up loving her.  The foster parents shown here are every kid's dream come true. Not unkind, not lenient just stern enough like you would expect a real parent to be and ...

Stephen King Reading Books in Chronological order

Image
As you can tell from the title this is a list of Stephen King works in publication order, as I will intend to read it in. I already started with the first one but still will continue to try to get to the rest. I will probably have to reread the few ones I have already read of his works. I have bought a very small amount of books. Here they are, again not really paying attention to publication edition or matching covers. I will try to buy them in Kindle or get them from Scribd if possible.  List: 1.      Carrie (1974) 2.      ‘Salem’s Lot (1975) 3.       The Shining (1977) 4.       Rage (1977) 5.      Night Shift (1978) 6.      The Stand (1978) 7.      The Long Walk (1979) [by Richard Bachman] 8.       The Dead Zone (1979) 9.       Firestarter (1980) 10.    Roadwork (1981) [by Ri...

New Rating system

Image
So after much consideration, which means one afternoon really. I decided to make my rating of books more systematized. Because it really needs to be a more defined way. So far I have done it not arbitrary but for opinion and not always following the same criteria for each of the books I read. So the plan is: 1. I want to consider several categories. Seven to be specific and they will be rated from zero to ten, with zero being the worst and 10 the best. 2. Then be averaged in order to get an overall value for the book. 3. The average value will be then be converted into the 1 to 5 star rating I normally use.
