February Wrap up

I have mixed feelings about this month.
I should have read more.

 Let's take a look:

 The progress in my goal I'm 22% through.
Two more were started but were not finished so we'll carry them on to finish them in March.

 For the stats about this month's reading. 




So, in this case, I had an all over the place based on enjoyment as well.

Hate List

Image
Author: Jennifer Brown Genre: YA Contemporary Original publication date: September 2009 Book description (from Good Reads):  Five months ago, Valerie Leftman's boyfriend, Nick, opened fire on their school cafeteria. Shot trying to stop him, Valerie inadvertently saved the life of a classmate, but was implicated in the shootings because of the list she helped create. A list of people and things she and Nick hated. The list he used to pick his targets. Now, after a summer of seclusion, Val is forced to confront her guilt as she returns to school to complete her senior year. Haunted by the memory of the boyfriend she still loves and navigating rocky relationships with her family, former friends and the girl whose life she saved, Val must come to grips with the tragedy that took place and her role in it, in order to make amends and move on with her life. This is a hard thing to describe. At some point it felt a very long book, it had me annoyed, angry, it made me upset........

Choosing Monthly TBR

Image
So I want to change the way TBR is chosen. We will leave it a bit more to chance and it will be more like a lottery game. Let's explain it a bit. I will have 4 different Jars. Jar #1 will contain little paper slips with numbers going from 5 to 13. This will represent the number of prompt draws. Jar #2 will contain the reading prompts / mini-challenges for me. Each prompt will have to be paired with a book, no doubling up allowed. So depending on the draws that will be the minimal number of books that will have to be read that month. Prompts included: Recent buy second chance sister's pick unfinished last month Carry on from the previous tbr ya fantasy adult fantasy poetry classic Spanish author Mexican author Latin American author author of color non-fiction over 500 pages manga/comic/graphic novel ya contempor...

Winter Bianually Bibliathon

So I just found out that there is a bibliathon coming up. I hadn't seen this on time before but this year I found out before it was over yey! So I want to participate on it.  So I have been following Emma for a while now and this is how I found out about the challenge. I obviously only will do the reading Challenges. They consist of: 1. Read the group book: Other World by Jason Seagol and Kristen Miller 2. Read a sequel 3. Read a book you've never heard of before. 4. Read a book about Mental Illness. 5. Read a book that you've found in a tv series, movie or another book. 6. Read a book under 200 pages. 7. Read a book published before 2017. So here it is my plan for each of the challenges: 1. I bought Otherworld so no problem. 2. My pick is the Revolution of Mara Dyer the final book of the trilogy Mara Dyer. It is a sequel after all. If I run out of time this can also count for the challenge #7 XD 3. For this I had planned on going to the boo...

Get to Know the Fantasy Reader

Image
So this is a Tag I saw in Sam's channel Thoughts on Tome. Here is the video  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l5BxUM-ae7 w This Tag was originally: "get to know the Romance reader" but it was changed a bit in order to fit more a Fantasy reader. QUESTIONS:  1. What is your fantasy origin story? (How you came to read your first fantasy novel)   Very classic, I first got interested in Harry Potter when I was in sixth grade, I was a very peculiar kid, I saw the first 3 movies and I insisted on getting the fourth book onwards. I started out of order XD 2. If you could be the hero/heroine in a fantasy novel, who would be the author and what’s one trope you’d insist be in the story?  The author I would pick is Brandon Sanderson and the troupe I like would be underdog starting slow and having issues to get good in any type of magic and yet come up on top. 3. What is a fantasy you’ve read this year, that you want more people to read?  So far this year m...
