For me, the end of the month is always so excited. I have the opportunity to talk books non-stop and share any new books that caught my eye and will probably take my money away. Even though I’m still a little bit stuck in a reading slump, it doesn’t demolish me from searching for more books to grow even more my Goodreads shelf.

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.

January is already over, and we are left in the couple’s month. Speaking of which, it remains me that we are only a week away from the last 50 Shades of Grey movie. Guess who’s not going to be near a theatre in the premier day? This girl! I might go watch it but after all the rush. Changing the subject, January was not a great reading month for me. I got myself stuck in a reading slump, and I’m still gathering the strength to unwind from my life while lost between pages. I read 3 short stories by Portuguese authors because I could ditch them in half an hour. And I also need to read more Portuguese authors. It’s great to read what is hot right now, but I should know authors from my country.

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 …

I read this book last month, and it won my heart. From a moment to another, it became my all-time favourite book. You know a book is good when even before you finish it you already and to reread it. And since we are starting a new year, there isn’t a more appropriate time to read this gem than now – at least I know I will. Grab a copy, a bucket of popcorn and sit comfortably, while you laugh out loud at all Phoebe’s adventures. Phoebe has been single for over a year since she found her ex-boyfriend in bed with another woman. After a multiple glasses of wine and long talks with her best friend Lucy, …

No, I’m not joking. You read that right. Today, I’m not going to talk about my resolutions for 2018. I’ve realised for the past few years that New Year’s resolutions don’t work with me. And I’m not even talking about start working on my goals in January and by February forgot about them, most of the times, I don’t even get to start. I’m lazy and procrastination is my favourite hobby so a list of things to do isn’t a big inspiration to get my a** of the couch. The entire point of making a New Year’s resolutions is to change habits, to get better at something or change something in your life that isn’t working. But do you really need to write down a list of things to change or do you need to change them? It was Allen Sauders (and John Lennon) that said Life is what happens …

Last year, I started writing a post reviewing The Shannara Chronicles, although I came to the realization that I didn’t have anything positive or exciting that was worth doing a review of. At some point, I was bored and even mad while writing so I ended up scrap it. Although this time the show took a 180º degree change for better and I think is time to bring back my thoughts on season 1 comparing with season 2. Update (8th March 2018): Unfortunately, until further notice, The Shannara Chronicles won’t have a third season. Spike Tv has cancelled any possibility of broadcasting another season, although the producer of the series is currently trying to get along with other networks that would want to. It’s nice to know they haven’t given up on the series and are trying everything to deliver a season 3 to the fans. The story starts with …

This was supposed to be up in 2017, but I was in need of a little break after all the festivities and I got ill. It’s not the best way to start a brand new year and I’m still not feeling 100% however, I’m good enough to have my energy back to blog again. At first, I thought this post was going to be pointless since all the books I read in December had posts dedicated to them. So I was just going to repeat myself until I went to my Goodreads page and saw all the bookish news (and books) that I was collecting over the month. I’ll be keeping the 2018 releases that I found for another …

You are just hungover from all the food you eat on the past two days and when you finally think you already took everything out of your system is New Year’s Eve. Although I found Dash & Lily’s Book of Dares to be the perfect book for this time.
