Books & chats

So I would add this TBR to my May TBR but it would be an endless post so instead I'll be writting it here and linking it up there! #AtoZreadathon is a read-a-thon with 3 sets of difficulties; the first one (and most difficult) is where you read 26 books for the 26 letters of the alphabets only taking the title. The medium level (and the one I'll be attempting to complete) is where you can use a book for several letters as long as you "touch" all of the letters in the alphabet but, again, only counting the titles, and the easiest level is where you count the title and the author of the book! So withouth further to do here is my TBR: A,B: The Art of Being Human  by Lisa Williamson C,D,N: The Couple Next Door by Shari Lapena E,M: El método 15/33 by Shannon Kirk  F: Fuera de mí by Sharon. M. Draper G,S: Given to the Sea by Mindy McGinnis H,O: Historia del futuro según Glory O'Brien by A. S. King I: Illuminae by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff J

May TBR. To start off May, I'll be finishing the books I started reading in April and didn't complete, which are: Throne of Glass, The Couple Next Door, Juliet takes a Breath and Zac & Mia. I'm already about a hundred pages in in each book so I think I'll finish them real quick!     To continue the month, I'm planning to participate in several readathons (good luck future me!) The Read-a-thons. #AtoZreadathon From May 1st to the 31. I won't be listing her all my TBR instead I'll link you guys to it! (: Bout of Books 19 (sign up). From May 8th to the 14th. So here I am again trying another readathon (pls someone help me), this time I'll be participating in "Bout of Books".  If you don't know what the readathon it's about let me tell you: "The Bout of Books read-a-thon is organized by Amanda Shofner and Kelly @ Reading the Paranormal. It is a week long read-a-thon that begins 12:01am Mon

So for April I had planned to read a lot of books but sadly that wasn't the case, so here is my mini wrap up for this month! I participated in #AYearAThon where the theme was "Classics", so I started reading "Lolita" but stopped about 100 pages in; the story was really boring and making me a bit uncomfortable so maybe I'll pick it up later. From April 7 to the 20th Tome Topple happened, for this readthon I finally finished "A Clash of Kings" by George R. R. Martin. I gave it 3 out of 5 starts (full review here). Also I started reading "Throne of Glass", I'm about 300 pages in! Other books I picked up this month were: Juliet takes a Breath, The Couple Next Door and Zac & Mia; I haven't finished any of those!  So here is for a better month to come!

From April 7th to the 20th TomeTopple is happening (yay!). I participated last time in this readathon and I really loved it! The goal is to read big books (+500 pages).  Also this time there are challenges, which are: Read more than one tome, read a graphic novel, read a tome that is part of a series, buddy read a tome and read an adult novel. To be honest I don't think I'll complete every challenge so without further to do, here is my TBR: Choque de Reyes Trono de Cristal The Mark of Athena Obviously I'll try to read the three books so that would check the "read more than one tome" challenge, also all of them can be used in the "read a tome that is part of a serie" and Clash of Kings fits into "read an adult novel".  My goal is to actually complete my TBR because in previous rounds I only read one tome (and maybe I start other) and I'm feeling a reading slump coming but here it's to trying! - - - - - - - - - - - -

"I am Malala" by Malala Yousafzai in collaboration with Christina Lamb.  Wow. I must admit that before reading this book I wasn't a 100% aware of the situation Pakistan is living and what did Malala do in general; I must say my ignorance was huge about this "politics" theme and how the country was living such an unjust situation, the image I had of Pakistan was mainly created by the lack of research on my part and was full of stereotypes that media shares and I'm not really proud of that. That being said, here are my thoughts on the book: For starters, Malala gives more background of the situation her country is living and not just focusses on her assault. She explains everything in such an easy and basic way for you to understand but her writting does not take away the importance of everything she is saying, she just gives it more power. I love how you get to know more about the current situation with the talibans and the police an
