Book Trope Bingo

Image
I just saw this, I know I am very late into the game but oh well. The creator of the Bingo Board I am using is Jesse from Jessethereader. You can find the video here . BOOK TROPE BINGO SHEET (if you want to play!) https://ibb.co/hgLPbjj So here it is the board. So we will use a very homemade bingo paper slips and see how much I know my book and how long it takes me to get to Bingo. Let's begin: N3. Free space, that lucky. I will pick one of my favorite mystery/ thrillers. This is the story of an old man who in the last remnants of his life decides to confess to a crime a young man was convicted to and now will serve a death sentence for. Time is running out but not everything is as easy as he imagined when no one is willing to listen or take seriously his confession. A lawyer, a criminal and the family of the man wrongly convicted race against time to stop an unjust sentence to be carried out.  B1. The golde Trio I will not use the typical and first one that comes...

Best Books of 2019

Image
This year has been eventful and I have enjoyed a lot of them. So here are the best ones I found this year. Rereads do not count.  I find it very difficult to place them in a particular order. But here we go. #10 Charlotte's Web, E.B. White A lovely story of a little pig, a spider who is smarter than most animals in the same farm, a human girl and so many little things that seem much grander.  It is interesting how you can go through life without seeing this story be it in the actual book or even the movie. The book was very heartwarming and now I want to watch the movie.  #9 The exorcist, William Peter Blatty. The story tells the novelization of a true story of a child being possessed.  The mother, a divorced actress who is struggling to make it as a director in an era where women are openly put down by the male in the same industry. It is hard to describe but I can see why it has withstood the test of time.  #8 My sister's keeper, Jodi Picoult....

Exit Strategy

Image
  Author: Martha Wells Series: The Murderbot #4 Publication year: October 2, 2018 Book Description (from GoodReads): Murderbot wasn’t programmed to care. So, its decision to help the only human who ever showed it respect must be a system glitch, right? Having traveled the width of the galaxy to unearth details of its own murderous transgressions, as well as those of the GrayCris Corporation, Murderbot is heading home to help Dr. Mensah—its former owner (protector? friend?)—submit evidence that could prevent GrayCris from destroying more colonists in its never-ending quest for profit. But who’s going to believe a SecUnit gone rogue? And what will become of it when it’s caught? Thoughts: By now it does feel a bit formulaic. The adventures keep piling up. Murderbot is still a bit annoying insisting it does not have feelings and continues to think humans cannot really care about or it should be possible to care for humans.  Anyway, Murderbot decides to finally go back to Dr. Mensa...

August Reading Wrap Up

Image
Readathons I had intended to participate, well I tried in most. #AYearAThon, that was a big failure. That book did not even get started, and it was only one. Though luck. I will leave Emma for another occasion. Used-book-a-thon. I did try though did not complete all the challenges not even a bingo line! I managed to complete 8 challenges by reading 3 book so it was an ok week. MY biggest success was the Magical Readathon I did complete it all, I had planned on reading a few extra books and that was not accomplished but regardless I di manage to score: N.E.W.T.s grades: O Arithmancy O Charms O Transfiguration E Ancient Runes A D.A.D.A I managed to complete 12 books I did end up changing some of the ebooks I had established as my TBR. I changed A swiftly tilting planet for Wild Blue Wonder by Carlie Sorosiak and Ranma 1/2 for Blue Exorcist by Kazue Kato but I did end up completing all the intended challenges.  In total, I read 18 books that count for my yearly challen...

2021 Reading Statistics

Image
  Let's take a look into 2021 in lovely statistics. It might be a boring subject. This in no way is meant to make others feel pressured or compare themselves. Numbers are not the most important thing. Reading happens to be my escape from the real world and due to the current times and my lack of options for the first half of the year that I was not leaving my house at all, well that provided a lot of time I was able to spend reading.  This year was filled with changes and scary situations that had me up and down emotionally. But we can look back in my reading journey and count it as a success.  From these numbers, this represents my goal to have been accomplished in 156%.  From them, 7% were rereads- 23 books. That is a bit below, my goal was 10% but I was very close. My next year's goal is set up differently I will use a number as the goal instead of a percent, I see it more achievable.  The formats are a bit more even, not bad really. I did want to take advant...
