Alli te Comeran las Turicatas


Author: Cristina Rivera Garza
Best attempt at translation: The turicatas will eat you there XD
Genre: Magical Realism, illustrated
Description (from the back of the book): She visits the land of the sun and stones, of plains and wind, bordering on the road to inspiration: the woman, in the center of the universe, maybe loneliness, moves on, gets lost looking for her origin and fate.

 IT is a very hard book to describe and make up your mind about. 
The writing style is beautiful, the art in it is eye-catching, beautiful yet they can be disturbing and they open the door for plenty of thinking. 

 I felt it was too short and it is the type of book you want to reread in order to continue exploring the meaning of it.

 I gave it 3.5 to 4 stars, I am still unable to decide really. I think I might have missed the whole meaning of the story but so need to reread this book at a later date to see if my feelings change or get more defined.

Author: A. G. Howard  Genre: Retelling, Romance Original publication date: January 2017 Book description:  In this modern day spin on Leroux’s gothic tale of unrequited love turned to madness, seventeen-year-old Rune Germain has a mysterious affliction linked to her operatic talent, and a horrifying mistake she’s trying to hide. Hoping creative direction will help her, Rune’s mother sends her to a French arts conservatory for her senior year, located in an opera house rumored to have ties to The Phantom of the Opera.

Books carried over from June

Image
I am sounding like a broken record by now. There were a few books I did not get to from my June TBR, not for any particular reason I do want to read them. As part of my 2020 resolutions I have to get through all my monthly TBRs I mean I can still DNF.  So that means that when I do not read a book in the set timeline (usually I only set a monthly TBR) I MUST read it in the next one in addition to the normal TBR set. So the books from June I need to get to: First off I began one and barely got 100 pages into it, that will be the first one I finish this month: *The Hero of Ages by Brandon Sanderson This is the final installment in the trilogy, I am enjoying it very much, not even sure why it's taking me this long to get through it. There were also plenty I didn't even begin so here they are, the second month they're included in a TBR this time I will read them! * The eleventh metal by Brandon Sanderson This short story I will not read until I finish the hero of ages so I need ...

The Blood of Olympus

Image
Author: Rick Riordan  Series: The Heroes of Olympus #5 Genre: Fantasy Original description:  Nico had warned them. Going through the House of Hades would stir the demigods' worst memories. Their ghosts would become restless. Nico may actually become a ghost if he has to shadow-travel with Reyna and Coach Hedge one more time. But that might be better than the alternative: allowing someone else to die, as Hades foretold. Jason's ghost is his mother , who abandoned him when he was little. He may not know how he is going to prove himself as a leader, but he does know that he will not break promises like she did. He will complete his line of the prophecy: To storm or fire the world must fall. Reyna fears the ghosts of her ancestors , who radiate anger. But she can't allow them to distract her from getting the Athena Parthenos to Camp Half-Blood before war breaks out between the Romans and Greeks. Will she have enough strength to succeed, especially with a deadly hunter on...

Not since Nora walked out of school one day and never went back. There was a dark, dark house Until, out of the blue, an invitation to Clare’s hen do arrives. Is this a chance for Nora to finally put her past behind her? And in the dark, dark house there was a dark, dark room But something goes wrong. Very wrong. And in the dark, dark room.... Some things can’t stay secret for ever. Points to consider: Plot: 8.0 The storyline starts very classically. Giving the hints that something happened a decade before and our main character Nora, her inability to move on. Then giving small hints of what it was, you get the picture soon enough is complete as the clues start to come to us as we read.  The plot twist is given enough hype to make it interesting as you go towards it. But the ending is not al...
