The Bookshelf Book Tag

This tag I saw on youtube done by Ariel Bisset 
The original video is from the channel awanderingmind it was created by Serena. Link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BaLXOduHXhc

1/ How many bookshelves do you have? 
I only have one bookshelf, it is extremely full but oh well.
2/ How many books are on your bookshelves? Or how many books you think you have? 
I have a record of the books I own, it might be off, but according to my track, I own 365 books. Of these, I have 96 unread about 26%


3/ How do you organize your books? 
No organization what's so ever, I had the intention of having it by genre, but then they do no fit. I try to place in the middle shelves at the front the unread books and in the back or the very top of the bookshelf the ones that I already read. 

This next two will be done based on publication date
4/ What is the oldest book on your bookshelf? 
Grim's complete fairy tales, these tales were compiled in theory in 1812, even if my copy is much more recent but in original publication date, this is the oldest. But it is a very recent reprint, I bought it for the cover mainly.



5/ What is the newest book on your bookshelf? 
The book most recently published is Thunderhead by Neil Shusterman

6/ What is the longest book on your bookshelf? 
Words of Radiance by Brandon Sanderson has 1303 (in the mass market paperback edition)


7/ What is the shortest book on your bookshelf?
Alli te comeran las turicatas by Cristina Rivera Garza this one is by far the shortest, with only 48 pages. It is an illustrated short story.

8/ What is the predominant genre on your bookshelf? 
Fantasy 

9/ Have you done a bookshelf tour? 
No, never have. I wish but it takes a lot of time and in a written blog is kind of weird, I assume this is mainly because it was designed for youtube videos.

10/ Go on a random number generator and talk about the book that corresponds with that number. https://www.random.org/ 
Good thing that I have them in a written list. We got the number 206 which corresponds to Rick Riordan's The lost hero. This is the first book from the Heroes of Olympus, it follows Jason a son of Jupiter and he is thrown into camp Half-blood. It is a slow start while we get to know the new characters.

11/ Do you have fan merch or any other decorations on your bookshelf? 
Yes I have some figurines, some decorative notebook and some Supernatural funko, a wand, a few Harry Potter items like the crests, oh I have a lot of things but it is all cramped because again, no space. 

12/ Show us your bookshelf! 


13/ Tag someone.

Bird Box

Author: Josh Malerman Genre: Mystery/Thriller, Horror Original publication date: March 2014 Book description:  Something is out there, something terrifying that must not be seen. One glimpse of it, and a person is driven to deadly violence. No one knows what it is or where it came from. Five years after it began, a handful of scattered survivors remains, including Malorie and her two young children. Living in an abandoned house near the river, she has dreamed of fleeing to a place where they might be safe. Now that the boy and girl are four, it's time to go, but the journey ahead will be terrifying: twenty miles downriver in a rowboat—blindfolded—with nothing to rely on but her wits and the children's trained ears. One wrong choice and they will die. Something is following them all the while, but is it man, animal, or monster? Thoughts: So this is a reread. The first time I read it was last year mainly because of booktube recommendations and the movie was released in N

Mid Month Wrap up (Hous Pocus + #AYearAThon)

For the beginning of the month, I participated in two Readathons. So I will do a wrap up of those two first ones that ended on the 13th. The first one was HOCUS POCUS READATHON. The goal was to cast a Spell to become immortal. Goal accomplished! It consisted of 7 challenges out of them, 6 were reading related. Read a total of 6 books. In those the total pages read were 2,263 In average it represented 377.67 pages per book  Not bad for the first two weeks of the month but yeah most of the book were on the shorter side. The second readathon accomplished was #AYearAThon in which we had to read a thriller. In a very good coincidence, these two overlapped allowing me to use a book from the previous challenges to cover this one as well. For this readathon only one book was finished, Misery and this one contained 370 pages.

Frankisstein: A love story

Author: Jeanette Winterson  Genre: Sci-Fi, LGBT, Original publication date: May 2019 Book Description (from Goodreads):  In Brexit Britain, a young transgender doctor called Ry is falling in love – against their better judgement – with Victor Stein, a celebrated professor leading the public debate around AI. Meanwhile, Ron Lord, just divorced and living with Mum again, is set to make his fortune launching a new generation of sex dolls for lonely men everywhere. Across the Atlantic, in Phoenix, Arizona, a cryogenics facility houses dozens of bodies of men and women who are medically and legally dead… but waiting to return to life. But the scene is set in 1816, when nineteen-year-old Mary Shelley writes a story about creating a non-biological life-form. ‘Beware, for I am fearless and therefore powerful.' What will happen when homo sapiens is no longer the smartest being on the planet? Jeanette Winterson shows us how much closer we are to that future than we realize. Funny and f
