PROMPTS: 

A book you could/have read in a day 
I have not done this in a while, but I've been reading Saga volumes and walking dead in single days as they are graphic novels. But I have read books in a single day as I could not put them down, generally, I do this with Thrillers the most recent was Rage by Stephen King, it's about a high schooler who takes a classroom hostage and what they live through in that single afternoon. Actually,, some of Stephen King's books inspire me to finish them in single days, I also did the same with Carrie.

- Guilty pleasure book 
These types of questions are showing up quite often, let's see what other books can I pick for this.
I know I really like the island of the Lost by Melissa de la Cruz, I am not even sure why., it's full of predictable plot and characters, a very easy middle grade read, but I really enjoy reading it. 


- Series you want to start 
I want to start several series Children of time by  
Adrian Tchaikovsky a sci-fi series about humans trying to survive after the Earth is dying.


- Been on your TBR for ages 
This is a bit hard to pinpoint but I think the oldest book I own still unread is the inexplicable logic of my life by Benjamin Alire-Saenz which I got in December 2017. I can't believe it's still sitting unread.


- Book you recently bought because of hype
Saga by Brian K. Vaughan 


- A book you learned from or that had an impact on you 
A book that I clearly remember reading when I was younger was Esperanza Rising by Pam Muñoz Ryan a tale of a young girl who leaves her Hacienda in Mexico and now has to get used living in another country in a very different social status.


- A book you were gifted 
I received a gift at work the volume 2 for Inuyasha by Rumiko Takahashi.

- What is one thing you have done recently to look after yourself 
I have allowed myself to buy some books and stopped putting my TBR so high and forcing myself to complete it all. I allowed myself a break from that, just read as it comes without worrying so much about reaching it.

- BONUS - Name a book coming out soon -
Not sure, I had several books in the lookout but I just found out the new John Grisham Camino Winds. No idea what it is about I assume its another legal thriller.

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.

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.
