Birthday Book Haul



What better way to come back to the blog than with a bookhaul? My family and friends really outdid themselves this year and I ended up with this amazing haul for my birthday. I am very excited to read them all but considering how many there are and how lenghty (looking at you War and Peace & Fortunata y Jacinta), it is more than likely I won't be able to get through them before the year ends. Last year I gave myself the challenge and did it but I am not sure about this year. Will try though.
  • Guerra y Paz by Leo Tolstoy.
  • Fortunata y Jacinta by Benito Pérez Galdós.
  • La escritura indómita by Mary Oliver.
  • El palacio de hielo by Tarjei Vesaas.
  • Todo el mundo puede ser ANTIFA by Pol Andiñach.
  • El legado de las diosas by Katerina Tucková.
  • Long Live the Tribe of Fatherless Girls by T Kira Madden.
  • The Covent Garden Ladies by Hallie Rubenhold.
  • By Ash, Oak and Thorn by Melissa Harrison.
  • Wake, Siren: Ovid Resung by Nina MacLaughlin.
Have you read any of these? 
Happy reading!

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.

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. "

Reading Diary | February Books | 2018

Feb, 1st - 15:15. Finished the second book in the first volume of the Riyria Revelations and I was pleasantly surprised. I still think the world building is the weakest thing about the story because it's not greatly developed but the story is well-written and entertaining. I'm planning on continuing reading the series because now I'm intrigued enough to want to know how everything will unfold. Feb, 7th - 10:33.  I'm finally prepared to go and see the movie Call Me By Your Name because I just finished reading the novel. I enjoyed it quite a bit. It is a celebration of love and an exploration of sex and identity. It's quite explicit though so if you feel uncomfortable with that keep it in mind if you're planning on reading it. My full review of the book is HERE (I also talk a little bit about the movie).
