This week is Top Ten most unique books I've ever read.

1) The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern


This books is unlike anything I've ever read; a magical competition where the battlefield is a circus might not sound very appealing but this book is beautifly written.

2) A monster Calls by Patrick Ness


A very sad but very beautiful book.

3)More than this by Patrick Ness


This is unlike any dystopian novel I've ever read.

Publicado por Lina Jiménez en 13:32 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! 

So after many weeks (not many just about two) of not being able to buy any books I finally had the time and money to go on Amazon and my favorite bookstore and buy some lovely books:

Waiting on Wednesday (23)

Publicado por Lina Jiménez en 8:07 5 comentarios

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

My pick this week is:

Title: The Forever Song
Series: Blood of Eden #3
Author: Julie Kagawa 
Pages: 416
Expected publication: April 15th 2014 

VENGEANCE WILL BE HERS 

Allison Sekemoto once struggled with the question: human or monster? 

With the death of her love, Zeke, she has her answer. 

MONSTER 

Allie will embrace her cold vampire side to hunt down and end Sarren, the psychopathic vampire who murdered Zeke. But the trail is bloody and long, and Sarren has left many surprises for Allie and her companions—her creator, Kanin, and her blood brother, Jackal. The trail is leading straight to the one place they must protect at any cost—the last vampire-free zone on Earth, Eden. And Sarren has one final, brutal shock in store for Allie. 

In a ruined world where no life is sacred and former allies can turn on you in one heartbeat, Allie will face her darkest days. And if she succeeds, triumph is short-lived in the face of surviving forever alone.



This series is amazing, it hasvampires in a post apocalyptic setting, a kick ass heroine, two amazing vampire men, a great love interest and absolutely no love triangles! I'm sad thatit's going to end but I can't wait to see what Julie Kagawa writes next.

TBR Pile Reading Challenge March Wrap-up

Publicado por Lina Jiménez en 8:22 0 comentarios

March was a tough month for me most of the books I picked failed to keep my interest so the whole month reading felt more like a chore than somethin I do for fun.







The Clique series has been on my read pile since I was 14 so I'm glad that they've finally read them.
For March I read 17 books making my overall total 39 books out 50 that I challenged myself to read.

Waiting on Wednesday (22)

Publicado por Lina Jiménez en 8:44 7 comentarios

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

My pick this week is:

Title: Ruin and Rising
Series: The Grisha #3
Author: Leigh Bardugo
Pages: 432
Release Date: June 17h 2014

The capital has fallen. The Darkling rules Ravka from his shadow throne.

Now the nation's fate rests with a broken Sun Summoner, a disgraced tracker, and the shattered remnants of a once-great magical army.

Deep in an ancient network of tunnels and caverns, a weakened Alina must submit to the dubious protection of the Apparat and the zealots who worship her as a Saint. Yet her plans lie elsewhere, with the hunt for the elusive firebird and the hope that an outlaw prince still survives.

Alina will have to forge new alliances and put aside old rivalries as she and Mal race to find the last of Morozova's amplifiers. But as she begins to unravel the Darkling's secrets, she reveals a past that will forever alter her understanding of the bond they share and the power she wields. The firebird is the one thing that stands between Ravka and destruction—and claiming it could cost Alina the very future she’s fighting for.



I love love this series especially the Darkling, it would make me so happy if he won in the end not only because he is my favorie but I think i would be amazing if evil won this time.

Top Ten Tuesday (18)

Publicado por Lina Jiménez en 8:19 2 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 week is Top Ten Bookish Things on my Bucket List.

1) Read all the books on my to read list

I know this is completly impossible since there are always going to be new books but how cool would it be to be able to say you've read all the books you wanted.

2) Go on a no budget book buying spree.

I love books but they can be a bit pricey sometimes so a huge dream of mine would be allowed to go to a bookstore and pick everything I wanted,

3) Organize my bookshelves.

There are five shelves in my apartment but only one is organized (even if it only makes sesnse to me); but the others are just a mess.

4) Start writting.

I have so many ideas in my head but none have ever made it to paper.

5) Meet J. K. Rowling

This one explains itself, she is my Queen.

6) Own a house with a library

If said house is located somewhere int the UK my life would be perfect.

8) Go on a bookish road trip

There have been so many amazing places are mentioned in books or are known for inspiring authors that create worlds of their own; I would love to mark a map and visit some of them.

9) Own physical copies of all my books.

I have 773 ebooks ( according to my Calibre library) andI would love to have those ebooks in papaerback or hardcover.

10) Get out of his reading slump I've been stuck in.

I don't know what caused it but I can't seem to find anybooks to read right now.
