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...

2019 Series part 1

Image
As mentioned before this year had a goal to get more into series and finishing them. I did end up starting a lot of series yet I did not finish many as the previous post showed us. Let's get into the series we started this year. For the simplicity of gather data, I will include all the series that I started from January to November. This will have no particular order and will include mainly my feelings on the story as a whole more than a description of what happens in them. (Again this makes it easier to write and also it is very intimidating when you see a huge post of hundreds of words, so let's keep it nice and short for both our sakes.) Lightbringer, Brent Weeks. I have read only 3 books, I found this by chance it was a recommendation from Booktube and I just started it because it was on audio in Scribd. I really like the magic system based on colors and the religion/ideology that by using your power eventually you must give up your life before your mind is lost.  ...

Good Reads 2018 Choice Award Challenge

Image
So January at the start of the year.  I decided to try to follow the idea Emily had ( BookswithEmilyFox ). In this case, we had the goal to read the finalists of the GoodReads and decide what the winner should have been. I picked 20 categories, but only managed to find the option to read 17 of them, I did not plan on buying them but I started to look for them in Scribd, Kindle and online in several sites. From those, I only read 10 of them.            So now I have officially given up on the challenge. There is really no pint in carrying it on. I will not do much of anything here so might as well I give up XD I enjoyed elevation, but I did not feel like it belonged on Horror, it was definitely magical realism but that is all. I liked elevation but not so much the second short story. I enjoyed  Vicious, V.E. Schwab I'll be gone in the dark, Michele McNamara Herding Cats, Sarah A. Trials of Apollo: The hidden oracle...
