24in48 Readathon


This weekend the 24in48 hours readathon takes place. The rule is simple: reading for 24 hours in a span of 48 hours.

I did it last year and had so much fun so I decided to take part in it again although I'm not sure how much reading I could get done since I wanted to celebrate my birthday with my grandma and rest of the family this weekend so we can all be together even though my birthday isn't until next week. However, I know I would find some time to relax and read a couple of pages here and there. Here is my TBR:

  • The Ballroom by Anna Hope. An historical fiction novel set in the Edwardian era about an asylum in the Yorkshire moors. Can't get better than that really.
  • The Thing Around Your Neck by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. A short story collection where the author explores the cultures of both Africa and the West.
  • What Is Not Yours Is Not Yours by Helen Oyeyemi. Another short story collection - I think they are great for readathons because you can have breaks between each story - in which all stories are connected through the idea of keys.

I'll be updating my progress on Twitter and Instagram :)

Are you guys taking part as well in the readathon? If not, what are your plans for the weekend?

Book Review // The Improbability of Love by Hannah Rothschild

The Improbability of Love  by Hannah Rothschild { Goodreads } Published by Bloomsbury in 2016 Paperback edition; 479 pages { BookDepository } The Improbability of Love follows a bunch of different characters all involved in different ways with the art-world scene in London when a very famous painting –which gives name to the novel – is found by Annie, the main protagonist we could say, in a thrift shop. Don’t be fooled by the cover which screams chick-lit through and through; the novel deals with so much more.

Weekend Reads

This weekend I'm planning on finishing El día de año nuevo y otros cuentos maravillosos  - a short story collection by Vladímir Odóievski that so far it's simply okay nothing really special- and reading a chunk of Outlander . I'm halfway through the latter and so far, it's a very enjoyable read; I started watching the TV show last year when it premiered but stopped after some episodes because I wanted to read the book. I'm finally caught up with what I saw and from now on I don't know what's going to happen which makes me wanna read even more. What are your plans for the weekend?
