Publicado por Lina Jiménez en 8:30 1 comentarios

Super Six Sunday is an original bookish meme created from Bewitched Bookworms and inspired by “Top Ten Tuesday” from The Broke and The Bookish .

This weeks feature is Super Six Super 6 Characters that You Want to Be

1) Meggie Folchart from Inkheart by Cornelia Funke


I  would love to be able to bring characters out of books just by reading outloud.

2) Anne of Green Gables by L. M. Montgomery


I used to pretend that I was Anne, when I was younger.

3) Jo March from Little Women by Louisa May Alcott


The only thing I would do different from Jo is marry Laurie, but other than that I love her.

4) The Darkling from Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo


The Darkling is currently my favorite villian, it would be great to see what is going on in his head.

5) Beatrice Shakespeare Smith from Eyes Like Stars by Lisa Mantchev


I would love to live in a magical theatre where all the characters from the plays are alive.

6) Heidi by Johanna Spyri


Again a childhood dream of mine was to live in the Alps.

Super Six Sunday is an original bookish meme created from Bewitched Bookworms and inspired by “Top Ten Tuesday” from The Broke and The Bookish 

This weeks feature is books that scared you, please note that I will include Books that scared me when I was a kid.





A few yeas ago there was a huge epidemic of H1N1 influenza in Mexico City (where I live), the outbreak was so severe the city basically shut down there was no school, everything was closed and although we could leave our houses it was recommended we didn't. The book has a similar situation in the book and it was so well written it reminded me of my own experience so I was really freaked out while reading this book.



I read Dracula for the first time when I was 8 and it scared me so much I slept in my parents bed for a week.


When I was in elementary school you had to have the Goosebumps series by R. L. Stine and I was no exception, at the time these books were the most scary books in my shelf.


After reading this book creeped me out so much that I got rid of some of my dolls that had button eyes.


One of my biggest fears ever is to be in a plane crash,  so this book has it and what my happen after my fear is realized.



I love Lovecraft's style, never read him if you are home alone or if you live in an old house. He also taught me if I inherit an old house from a distant relative sell it and never set a foot in it.

Super Six Sunday (1)

Super Six Sunday is an original bookish meme created from Bewitched Bookworms and inspired by “Top Ten Tuesday” from The Broke and The Bookish 

This weeks topic is books that made me cry:


Number one : "Roar and Liv" by Veronica Rossi.
 I just love their relationship and after the events in "Through the Ever Night" this e novella  makes me so sad.










Number two: "If You Find Me" by Emily Murdoch.

What I love about this one is how it show all the things we do for love and this book isn't about romantic love it's about the love a girl has for her sister.
It breaks my heart thinking about all the things Carey had to go through because if her mom.





Number three: "What Really Happened in Peru" by Cassandra Clare and Sarah Rees Brennan.
This might seem a bit odd since most of the book is very amusing and funny. At first I was happy about reading it since I had just broken up with my boyfriend and I needed some humor, but then I read the following quote “He'd learned his lesson a long time ago: Even in the midst of heartbreak, you could still find yourself laughing.” and I just couldn't stop crying but I have to agree with it.




Number four: "Dark Triumph" by Robin LaFevers

At first I didn't like Sybella very much, however after finding out about her family and all the things she had done and seeing how much she hated herself it made me want to hold her and tell her that she deserved to be loved.






Number Five: "The Shades of the Moon" by Susan Beth Pfeffer.

I loved the way the series concluded, I really did, I found it very realistic but I can't help feeling awful because it ended with so much hopelessness.







Number Six: "Escape from Eden" by Elisa Nader.

The only thing I can say is that the thing they did to the people in Edenton is one of the most unforgivable crimes in this world. This book was so well written tha apart from making me cry, it kept me from sleeping for a couple of days.
