June Book Haul 2020

I have no self-control when it comes to not buying online, this is again proof of my love for books, I did say No more than 3 books, right?

Well here are 33 of them.

Digital books:

*Lifelike by Jay Kristoff

A Sci Fi book first in a trilogy.

It's just another day on the Scrap: lose the last of your credits at the WarDome, dodge the gangs and religious fanatics, discover you can destroy electronics with your mind, stumble upon the deadliest robot ever built When Eve finds the ruins of an android boy named Ezekiel in the scrap pile she calls home, her entire world comes crashing down. With her best friend and her robotic sidekick in tow, she and Ezekiel will trek across deserts of irradiated glass, battle cyborg assassins, and scour abandoned megacities to save the ones she loves and learn the dark secrets of her past.

* 8 hábitos para una vida más productiva: método para aumentar tu productividad y desarrollo personal in English this translates to 8 habits for a more productive life by José Vergara. 

As the title describes is about making the most of the time and being more productive, it is a very short read, I will probably squeeze this book in any of the summer TBRs, I really need this type of books. Procrastination is my worst enemy and I keep falling in its trap time and time again!

*The guest list by Lucy Foley

This is a mystery who did it type of book, it gives me Agatha Christie vibes.

A wedding is taking place on a remote island, the people in attendance are the only ones there and suddenly a body is found by one of the waitresses she doe snot who it was. So we follow the story in dual timelines, one day before the wedding and the very day once the body was found. We see the people in attendance were not the role models for good people, and we have two main mysteries, who was killed and by whom?

Very enjoyable read. I already read it and quite liked it!

So I was very good at not buying too many digital copies of books. But not so much at stopping myself from ordering off Amazon for physical ones!

Exhibit B:

*My hero academia by Kohei Hirokoshi 

This is a translated manga about a boy who lives in a world were te normal is to have some kind of power(over 80% of the population presents a power or Quirk after the age of 4). There is a school for people with exceptional powers and who wish to help save humanity, this school is commonly known as the Hero academia, the people there train to become the ones to save the world! 

But we are following a young teenager who was born Quirckless, he has no ability and yet he has big dreams! To become the next great Hero!

So I found a few of the volumes in Amazon and being the super controlled person I am I tried to buy volumes 1 through 23 but some were missing so I still have to find volume 5, and  9

So I can't really start it because I have a few missing in there but I will try to read it online if possible or just buy it if they become available in Amazon.

*Inuyasha by Rumiko Takahashi

This is another Japanese manga translated to Spanish. It tells the story of a young high schooler named Kagome who is sent to Feudal time Japan infested with demons and magic in her time no longer exist. 

I am slowly but surely collecting most of them, at least the ones that are translated so far. I got volumes 15 to 21.

*Sleeping Giants and Only Human by Sylvain Neuvel 

This is a Sci-fi trilogy and not duology as I had imagined for some reason. Great, I just realized I have still one more book to buy.

A girl named Rose is riding her new bike near home in Deadwood, South Dakota, when she falls through the earth. She wakes up at the bottom of a square-shaped hole, its walls glowing with intricate carvings. But the firemen who come to save her peer down upon something even stranger: a little girl in the palm of a giant metal hand.
Seventeen years later, the mystery of the bizarre artifact remains unsolved - the object's origins, architects, and purpose unknown.
But some can never stop searching for answers.
Rose Franklin is now a highly trained physicist leading a top-secret team to crack the hand's code. And along with her colleagues, she is being interviewed by a nameless interrogator whose power and purview are as enigmatic as the relic they seek. What's clear is that Rose and her compatriots are on the edge of unraveling history's most perplexing discovery-and finally figuring out what it portends for humanity. But once the pieces of the puzzle are in place, will the result be an instrument of lasting peace or a weapon of mass destruction?

*Artemis by Andy Weir 

Another Sci-fi I have heard mentioned in booktube but no idea what it really is about.

Jazz Bashara is a criminal.
Well, sort of. Life on Artemis, the first and only city on the moon, is tough if you're not a rich tourist or an eccentric billionaire. So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, right? Not when you've got debts to pay and your job as a porter barely covers the rent.
Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down. But pulling off the impossible is just the start of her problems, as she learns that she's stepped square into a conspiracy for control of Artemis itself—and that now, her only chance at survival lies in a gambit even riskier than the first.

*Junjo Romantica by Shingiku Nakamura

Another Japanese manga that is being currently translated to Spanish, these are of course not new releases but they are still ongoing. It is a few interconnected romance stories featuring a few different couples each with their own issues ad struggles, it's so cute!! I remember starting it a few years ago and never actually finished now I'll reread it and try to complete the series.
