Away for the holidays!

And I'm off! I arrived yesterday at my grandparents' place in the northwest of Spain and I plan to do absolutely nothing for the next two weeks. I tell a lie though, I should study a bit - but only a bit 🙊. And I probably brought way to more books that I will probably finish but I like having options so... here is the list:
  • Stamped from the Beginning by Ibram X. Kendi. I have 130 pages left of this one. I started it in June but I am not rushing it. It takes me 30 minutes to read 10 pages because I spend most of that time highlighting and annotating. It's an incredible read.
  • Hamnet by Maggie O'Farrell. Another one I have started. Only 70 pages in. The writing is stunning!
  • Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno-García. Started it last night and so far, so good. It's giving me Rebecca vibes.
  • The Rage of Dragons by Evan Winter. 
  • The Year of the Witching by Alexis Henderson.
  • A Song of Wraiths and Ruin by Roseanne A. Brown.
  • Pew by Catherine Lacey.
  • The Deep by Solomon Rivers.
  • almendra by Won-Pyung Sohn.
I will try and keep updating the blog as I read the books on the list. Hope you are having a good day!

Book Review // Because of Mr. Terupt by Rob Buyea

Because of Mr. Terupt  by Rob Buyea { Goodreads } Published by Yearling in 2011 Paperback edition; 288 pages { BookDepository } " Features seven narrators, each with a unique story, and each with a different perspective on what makes their teacher so special.  It’s the start of fifth grade for seven kids at Snow Hill School. There’s . . .  Jessica,  the new girl, smart and perceptive, who’s having a hard time fitting in;  Alexia,  a bully, your friend one second, your enemy the next;  Peter,  class prankster and troublemaker;  Luke,  the brain;  Danielle, who never stands up for herself; shy  Anna,  whose home situation makes her an outcast; and  Jeffrey,  who hates school.  Only Mr. Terupt, their new and energetic teacher, seems to know how to deal with them all. He makes the classroom a fun place, even if he doesn’t let them get away with much . . . until the snowy winter day when an accident changes everything—and everyone. "

The Gif Tag!

Jess over at My Reading Dress – seriously, go follow her! – tagged me a while ago to do the Gif Tag and I haven’t been able to post it earlier because I have no clue about technology and I couldn’t make the gifs work so I had to investigate a bit. Also, I haven’t read most of the books of the list. I really hope this works out alright so without further ado, let’s get started! Oh, I might have used more than one gif for some of the books...
