From January 29 to February 4th the BreakyourTBRapart Readathon  is happening and one of my 2k18 goals is to actually "complete" a readathon this year, so what better way to start trying than now 😊 Here is my TBR for the readathon and the challenges: A book that's been on your TBR for some time now: Talentos Ocultos A short book or book of short stories on your TBR: Diez Negritos Read a first book in a series or sequel that's on your TBR: Roar   Read a book/books for 24 hours (should be on Saturday, Feb. 3rd): I will try to finish the ones I got and in case I'll finish them all I'll pick Wild Beauty Read 5 books: Lo que dejó tu adiós I really don't know if I'll be able to finish 5 books in 7 days but I'll give it a try, so wish me luck!💚

It's Kind of a Funny Story by Ned Vizzini My rating: 3 of 5 stars This one was definetly a let down and that breaks my heart; I really wanted to love this book, because mental illness should be something we talk about more, we have to be consious of how many people struggle with some type of mental illness and we really have to start undestranding them, and for me this book would be a good starter for the conversation but it really wasn't. I first met this story when I watched the movie about 6 years ago when I was just diagnosed with depression and anxiety, and honestly it was my favorite, like I would recommend it to everybody and I felt really represented through Craig's thoughts but now that i've read the book some time after, it really didn't do it for me. It was not a total waste of a read, I kinda enjoyed it, well some parts, for starters Ned Vizzini had depression and anxiety, and you really can feel those types of thoughts and feeling thro...

Hi guys! Happy New Year! I know it sounds cliché but yeah, this year I want to change, so here I'll write my new resolutions, both personal and book-related, just so I have them somewhere to be a reminder. Personal resolutions🌟 Put yourself FIRST Don't care about what other think Learn to love youself (mess and all) Recognize when you are wrong, admit it Grow up, be the adult you are, take responsibility Stop giving false hope/lying so much Love girls; UNDERSTAND them Stop dedicating song to useless people STOP being comfortable in your depression Stop blaming others and yourself Take car of youself Stop judging other so much and accept yourself Stop being so stubborn Stop spreading lies, accept you don't know everything (and that's okay) Don't take bullshit from nobody, even if they're family Reading Goals🌟 Re-read Harry Potter Buy a book only when I've read five before Complete the "Around the Year in 52 Books" ...

Well hello there, i'm back! (well kinda) I know i've been gone for so long BUT just a few days ago I read a poetry collection called "The Last Time I'll Write About You" by Dawn Lanuza and omg, it's beautiful you guys. The Last Time I'll Write About You by Dawn Lanuza My rating: 4 of 5 stars It has been so long since I read a poetry collection where I liked almost every poem, now I'm not saying every poem it's perfect but the majority of them really hit home and for a (debut) poetry collection to be that candid is something you don't come across often, "The Last Time I'll Write About You" really gets you from the title and never lets you go until you finish it. Dawn writes in such a way that takes me back to my past relationships, and she puts the feelings I had into such beautiful words; she goes straight to the point and doesn't come across as trying too hard to be profund, that's something that makes me lov...

Highly impossible August TBR. I will start by saying that I start college on August; yes, my first year in a new city living all alone. I expect to go out and get to know my new home but knowing me I'll probably stay in my room reading so here is a incrediously big TBR to have lots of options! ( Also I have to catch up with my diverse bingo and 52bookATW but shhhh) I want to continue reading the "Series of Unfortunate Events" so I'll be picking " The Ersatz Elevator ", next up I want to read some book to movie adaptations so I'll be re-reading " Wonder " and " Before I Fall "; and if I have time I want to finish reading " Library of Souls " and my "re-read" of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets lol. Oooooh and I almost forgot with all this "changing lifestyles" I want to finally read " Almost Adulting " by the beautiful Arden Rose <3. Read-a-thons. Duodecathon...

So I finally finished my volunteering but the result of those amazing and busy weeks was that I didn't read a single thing; so before I leave for college I'm planning on finishing my current reads, which are: Queens of Geek and When Dimple Met Rishi. Just wanted to do a quick update because I've been so inactive lol

Welp, another month; in July I'll volunteering in an event during the 14 to the 24th, so I hope to get some reading but I don't expect to read more than 4 books or so; so without further to do here are the books I'll be prioritizing during this month: First, I want to continue the "Heroes of Olympus" series by Rick Riordan , so I'll be picking up "The House of Hades" . Next, I'll be participating in a book club ( RBM )  where we'll read " Queens of Geek " by Jen Wilde. I'll read " The Ersatz Elevator " by Lemony Snicket. And the final book I'll be prioritizing is " The  Hate U Give " by Angie Thomas ; I need to actually read this book now! Now for the books I want to read but I don't think I'll actually do it (lol), here they are: I want to read " Library of Souls " by Ransom Riggs , so I can finally know how this serie ends; also this completes one of the challenges for ...
