May TBR 31 books in 31 days challenge

Image
  This is a very interesting start. I am just returning again from a very long break I took the last few weeks (more like months at this point). I am debating if I should do a wrap-up for the last few months or just move on?  I have not updated anything since the second week of May. We will see. Also this coming month I have very ambitious plans. Let me try to lay an overview of the big plans.  Challenge 31 books in 31 days. *36 books in this list but by now I am not sure how to count them or not. I have several volumes in the same series. Week 1 • Fullmetal Alchemist vol 5 Hiromu Arakawa   • Fullmetal Alchemist vol 6 Hiromu Arakawa • Fullmetal Alchemist vol  7 Hiromu Arakawa • Fullmetal Alchemist vol  8 Hiromu Arakawa • Fullmetal Alchemist vol  9 Hiromu Arakawa This is another of the manga series I am trying to get through.  Breaking the laws of nature is a serious crime! In an alchemical ritual gone wrong, Edward Elric lost his arm a...

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...

Beauty Queens

Image
Author: Libba Bray Pages: 396 Genre: Contemporary First Published: May 2011 Book description (from Good Reads): The 50 contestants in Miss Teen Dream pageant thought this going to be a fun trip to the beach, where they could parade in their state-appropriate costumes and compete in front of the cameras. But sadly, their airplane had another idea, crashing on a desert island and leaving the survivors stranded with little food, little water and practically no eyeliner. What's a beauty queen to do? Continue to practice for the talent portion of the program or wrestle snakes to the ground? And what should happen when the sexy pirates show up? Things to consider: Characters: 7.5  Most of the characters were a bit over the top, they appeared to be too exaggerated. That was the intention it was evident from the way the story was told but still, it made most of the girls and guys a bit too annoying. It's about personal preference if you enjoy quirky and sometimes silly characters ...

The murder of Roger Ackroyd

Image
Author: Agatha Christie Series: Hercule Poirot #4 Genre: Mystery/Thrillers Original publication date: June 1926 Book Description (from Good Reads): The peaceful English village of King’s Abbot is stunned. First, the attractive widow Ferrars dies from an overdose of veronal. Not twenty-four hours later, Roger Ackroyd—the man she had planned to marry—is murdered. It is a baffling, complex case involving blackmail, suicide, and violent death, a cast that taxes Hercule Poirot’s “little grey cells” before he reaches one of the most startling conclusions of his fabled career. Thoughts: The next book for #MakeyourMythtaker to read an outsourced book as I got it from Scribd, it is found only in audiobook but a very good performance. If you would like to try Scribd on your own you can use the link https://www.scribd.com/g/72ocvr (This not sponsored. It is a link that everyone with a Scribd Subscription gets. I get a free month added to my Subscription if you use my link...

April Favorites

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
