Since I’ve taken this HUGE break to shack thing up on the blog, I never got to tell you how was my first readathon, The BookTube-A-Thon. If you heard, you’ll know it took place at the end of July. Today is September 9th and here I am rambling about something that should have been rambled last month. At that time, I was excited to try this new thing that would bring together a whole community. A few times I cross path with people saying they did not enjoy the idea of making a challenge out of reading. I understand why. Most importantly, you should be reading because you like, not to read more books then person X or accomplish some pointless goal. It’s not a race. Even though I was curious and once I get the curiosity bug only trying out can make it go away. After all, I could …
July was officially the craziest month for me. The first week I was still with exams, the second I was cleaning up my room and office – and is not done yet. By the third week when I thought it would be time to get organized to be able to set my schedule free for the BookTube-A-Thon the time passed flying. Soon I realized it was already the 24th and the first day of the readathon. Three days in, I had a drastically change of plans and went to work for a friend of mine. The readathon was over for me since it was going to take the last four days. For the last day of the month, I was going to Porto for a chance to see an exhibition about Leonardo Da Vinci. Now is the 9th of August and I have no clue where did the time go. …
This review comes really late. I saw the movie on the 12th of June and I thought I would fail. I never saw a Pirate of the Caribbean in theatres and this was my chance before they decide to put an end to the saga. I never thought they would produce another movie and the fourth one was already a surprise, so when Disney dropped the news about another movie I was thrilled with excitement. Therefore, today is finally the day I share with you, my thoughts and opinions about the newest movie of Pirates of The Caribbeans: Dead Men Tell No Tales. To start off, I’ve realised at the end of the movie that they use another name for the fifth instalment Salazar’s Revenge. With a bit of search, I found out Disney changed the title for the UK version because of some trademark issues. Either way, the movie …
Last month, I ended in the best possible way: buying new books. I talked all about it in my April Book Overview, but by that time I already knew how would start this month post: more new books. I already spent money with 4 new books, and them my so trusted book shop went for a price drop. I mean… who can resist to saving some bucks?? I knew the opportunity had come for me to finally buy Fantastic Beasts & Where To Find Them: The Original Script by J. K. Rowling. I loved the movie and I kinda do regret not doing a review back when I saw it. Also, I was recommended to read the book because it was sure I would love it. The whole month had passed and I’m yet to rewatch the film and read the script, and probably read and watch at the same …
Oh well, birds are singing, the days are warming up and getting “longer” and is finally changing for the perfect mod to an outdoor reading time. I love being at home, comfortable but the connection with nature is something amazing, that we can’t experience through a glass window. The third month of 2017 is over and I’m still happy with my reading rhythm. I’m so proud of not getting into any reading slump – yet! I do enjoy reading but is so easy for me to put a book aside and just turn on the tv. Since the last week of February, I was reading Carve The Mark by Veronica Roth and it was different. It wasn’t the usual happy time’s story and wasn’t the book to set you with a happy mod, instead, it was interesting, captivating in so many different levels. When I remember this book I don’t …
