It’s time for another book review!

A few day ago I finished reading The Man with a Load of Mischief. It’s set in a village in England where multiple murders have been committed and it’s up to Richard Jury to solve the case. I don’t know why but books set in England are so fascinating to me. Maybe it’s because of the language or because it’s set in another county but I love them. This book wasn’t a gory true crime novel or particularly action packed and I didn’t expect it to be. There was one particular loose end about a certain character and his wife that I thought needed to cleared up. It should’ve been a quick read but it did take me about a week to read it. Overall I give it a 3/5. There is a whole series surround Richard Jury and his adventures and I intend to (attempt) to read them all.

The next books TBR are Cinder from the Lunar Chronicle and Four which is part of the Divergent series. To be honest I’m quite over the Divergent series but it was on my list from when the series was popular so I thought “what the hell?” However, I’m very excited to read Cinder. The first time I saw the book it was on the shelf at Target and it has taken me years to finally get to it. I heard it was a great book so, I will admit, I have high expectations about it.

Until next time!

It’s Been So Long!

Pinterest, reading, School

Omg! I can’t believe its been two months since I last posted. I have been so swamped with school I have absolutely no time for anything else…except watching the entire series of Charmed, but that’s not the point. The point is I have been so busy with classes that I haven’t read a single book in two months. There is one book that I’ve started reading but haven’t finished: Here Comes the Sun. 

It is told from the point of three woman who live in Jamaica and what their lives entail. It’s a very fascinating read so far and its relatable. At least for me.

As some of you may know (or don’t) Pinterest is my favorite app and a couple of days ago I came across a list of items that every reader would want to have. You can view the list here.

Hopefully, once school is over I can get back to my pleasure reading.

Until next time!

I haven’t been able to read a book for  about a week because of my school and work but that’s not the point. The point is, as long as I do a book review life will be sweet.

D: Do you read more in the morning or at night?

More so at night. And late afternoon.

A: Are there any books that changed the way you thought about things?

The one that I really found “life-changing” was We Need to Talk About Kevin. You can see my review here. The book was more-so a psychological thriller that made me ponder about genetics and the whole nature vs nurture argument.

Y: YA or not?

I like YA every once in a while.

A: Are there any characters you honestly believe to be real?

Not really. I always think to myself if the character I’m reading about is based on a real person. Bu that’s about it.

N: Nobody borrows my books or I don’t mind lending them out?

I don’t mind lending a book out. To certain people.

D: Do you ever smell your books?

Um…of course!

N: Not everyone likes books, is this a positive or a negative?

It is what is it. I’ve learned everybody has different tastes and hobbies.

I: I keep my books in the best condition or maybe not? Which are you?

I try to keep my book sin the best condition.

G: Gosh I have too many books! True or False?

False. Compared to other readers my bookshelf is pretty puny.

H: Have you ever spilled or stained your books before with something, and if so how?

The only thing I can think of is noodle sauce!

T: Toned or untoned while reading? . . or in other words. . .Do you read and workout at the same time?

No, I do not.
