I can’t believe this is the final part of my Most Anticipated Book Releases of 2018! I had so much fun to dive into lists and lists of books from authors I never heard of and from others that already have a little place in my heart. I got to know so many new and exciting books that I can’t wait to read some very hyped and others that should have been. These final three months are full of mystery, thriller, suspense, crime, secrets, sci-fi, romance, ghosts, and travel. For sure, this “series” is going to continue next year although with a few changes. So for one last time, here are my most anticipated reads of 2018.

I love a mystery! Always had and always will. There is something about a good mystery that leaves a sense of accomplishment even if you actually didn’t solve it. Maybe it’s all the twist and turns that keep your head racing to try and keep up or the beauty of the puzzle pieces coming together slowly. Either way, my adoration for this genre extends to movies, tv series, games, and books. I actually already wrote about different types of mysteries I enjoy, but recently I discovered one more. I’ve always been aware of its existence but never understood how good it could be. I’m talking about cosy mysteries. Even though I enjoy the idea of a “soft” story, I was never fully interested in it. Those types of stories were never for me, I would prefer more action, more blood, more macabre, and scarier. I want to feel my heart …

One of the most exciting moments of the year has finally come. The BookTube-A-Thon has arrived!! And that means I’m not doing anything besides reading during an entire week. Now that is what I call a vacation. From the 30th of June to the 5th of August, the bookworms all around the world gather for one mission: read together. The challenges have been revealed over two weeks ago, on the BookTube-A-Thon YouTube channel. Since then, I’ve been looking around my owned books to try and find the right books to fulfil the challenges without buying any. Once that was done, I calculated the total amount of pages I have to read and how many I have to read per day. I even estimated how much time I should spend reading per day! When it comes to doing the maths, I don’t joke around. The only thing I have left to …

It’s been so long since I’ve done a simple post just talking about some random topic that pop-up in my head. And today is time to talk about the YouTubers phenomenon. I’m not going to dive into any drama that might be on at the moment or give you reasons why/why not you should follow YouTubers. My point here is a little different. Instead of focusing on the internet “celebrities”, I want to focus on me and you – the viewers – and how being a viewer impacts our lives. I follow a fair share of people on the platform that I watch on a daily basis. Most of the times it depends on my mood. If I want to laugh my ass off, probably I’m going to watch some Fortnite or GTA V funny moments. If I want to get my reading mood up and running, a few TBR …

It has come the time once again to browse online to find the upcoming releases of the next three months. And either you like or not, the summer calls for two genres, contemporary and mystery. You can enjoy a lovey-dovey story next to the poll or unravel a murder while making sand castles. At least I know that my mood is calling out for them. I’m getting so excited to go to the beach or stay outdoors enjoying the sun and getting temporarily blind because of the extremely white pages.

Finally, April is upon us! I’ve been dying to publish this post. I started making this list shortly after I post the first part and now here we are. Three months had past which means another three months of new releases. I’m going to talk about my most anticipated book of the year – yaaassss!!! – and other great titles that caught my eye.

February is known worldwide as to the lovers’ months, especially the 14th. Keeping Valentine aside, there is also another thing this month is known for, carnival. Most of the countries don’t celebrate this time of the year, but here in Portugal, we had imported the Brazilian tradition. Over the time, it has changed from what carnival is known for in Brazil. Although in a lot of city throughout the country has kept the parade very similar. In Portugal,

Today, this post is dedicated to all the fans of the Sims franchise. If you are not a game person or more specifically not a Sims loving person you probably won’t care at all for this story. I’m going to get real fangirl here, so unless you are up for that vibe, this is going to be really boring.

I’ve always wanted to travel and discover different places, but more than that I wish to learn and experience something that you don’t find in tourist guides. I want to know how it feels to live in a different place. More specifically, living in a place it snows.

With the New Year also comes new releases and new books that make you jump and scream with excitement. But there is always one problem. As the time passes by, new books came out that instantaneously go to our most wanted list that you don’t even know were coming out later this year. So instead of saying “here, these are my most anticipated reads so far” I rather divide it into 4 different posts for each trimester of the year. I even thought of been like “most anticipated reads of winter” or spring, but the seasons don’t match the start of a new calendar and I would have to talk about books that have already come out last year. Bottom line, I will talk you through my most anticipated books (and a few honourable mentions) with the release date from January to March. This is actually a little frustrating since …
