Stacking The Shelves (69)

Publicado por Lina Jiménez en 22:44 0 comentarios

Stacking The Shelves is a weekly meme hosted by Tynga's Reviews. It is all about sharing the books you are adding to your shelves, may it be physical or virtual. This means you can include books you buy in physical store or online, books you borrow from friends or the library, review books, gifts and of course e books!

My first round of exams just finished so books were not a priority but my parents sent me some as a reward for surviving.

Waiting on Wednesday: Ice Like Fire by Sara Raasch

Publicado por Lina Jiménez en 21:30 0 comentarios


Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.


Title: Ice Like Fire
Series: Snow Like Ashes #2
Author: Sara Raasch
Date Published: October 13th 2015
Publisher: Balzer+Bray

It’s been three months since the Winterians were freed and Spring’s king, Angra, disappeared—thanks largely to the help of Cordell.

Meira just wants her people to be safe. When Cordellan debt forces the Winterians to dig their mines for payment, they unearth something powerful and possibly dangerous: Primoria’s lost chasm of magic. Theron sees this find as an opportunity—with this much magic, the world can finally stand against threats like Angra. But Meira fears the danger the chasm poses—the last time the world had access to so much magic, it spawned the Decay. So when the king of Cordell orders the two on a mission across the kingdoms of Primoria to discover the chasm’s secrets, Meira plans to use the trip to garner support to keep the chasm shut and Winter safe—even if it means clashing with Theron. But can she do so without endangering the people she loves?

Mather just wants to be free. The horrors inflicted on the Winterians hang fresh and raw in Januari—leaving Winter vulnerable to Cordell’s growing oppression. When Meira leaves to search for allies, he decides to take Winter’s security into his own hands. Can he rebuild his broken kingdom and protect them from new threats?

As the web of power and deception weaves tighter, Theron fights for magic, Mather fights for freedom—and Meira starts to wonder if she should be fighting not just for Winter, but for the world.


The first booking this series was one of the few books I genuinely liked in 2014, I can't wait to see what happens next.

Ten Bookish Things I Want to Quit Or Have Quit

Publicado por Lina Jiménez en 22:37 0 comentarios

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted at The Broke and The Bookish.  Each week a new top ten list is posted, and to participate all you have to do is fill in YOUR top ten for the list.

This weeks topic:

Ten Bookish Things I Want to Quit Or Have Quit (in my case authors)

Sometimes authors you love seem to loose their touch or simply you give authors you haven't enjoyed the benefit of the doubt, maybe I'll enjoy their next book. This at times makes reading feel like a chore so I'm adding some authors I'm staying away from.

I don't have anything against these authors I simply don't enjoy their books.

1)Mindee Arnett 

I tried her Avalon and The Arkwell Academy series and I didn't enjoy either.

2) Jessica Sorensen

Her books have too much going on for me and at times I find her writing confusing.

3)Josephine Angelini 

I have serious issues with her main characters.

4) Bella Forrest

I loved her A shade of Vampire series at first but now I feel like she's dragged it too much.

5) Pittacus Lore

I used to love the Lorien Legacies series but again I feel that it's a series that's been expanded too much.

6) Wendy Higgins

I've tried reading her Sweet Evil series three times and I still haven't been able to get into it.

7) J. R. Ward

The Black Dagger Brotherhood series  used to be so good but now it feels like the author is just writing it because she has nothing better to do.

8) Trish Doller

I've read two of her books, I didn't like one and the other one reminded me too much of another book by another author.

9)Kiera Cass

I blame America singer and her daughter for this.

10) The Next authors used to be some of my favorite but their most recent books have disappointed me, they still have another chance but they are on my watch.

Title: Dangerous Girls
Series: Standalone
Author: Abigail Haas
Date Published: July 16th 2013

It's Spring Break of senior year. Anna, her boyfriend Tate, her best friend Elise, and a few other close friends are off to a debaucherous trip to Aruba that promises to be the time of their lives. But when Elise is found brutally murdered, Anna finds herself trapped in a country not her own, fighting against vile and contemptuous accusations. 

As Anna sets out to find her friend's killer; she discovers hard truths about her friendships, the slippery nature of truth, and the ache of young love.

As she awaits the judge's decree, it becomes clear that everyone around her thinks she is not just guilty, but dangerous. When the truth comes out, it is more shocking than one could ever imagine...

Life has been hectic for me right now, it took me over a month to have time to visit a bookstore and buy some books.
