Monthly Bookmark - February

Fresh new start, fresh new books!

February. Month of opportunities for me. For challenges. And for the "we'll see"'s to come "well done"s. I'm so excited.

For this months bookmark and TBR, I wanted to keep them simple and flexible. No real push in it and very free-ish. I didn't decorate my bookmark with a theme, like I used to. And I restricted the TBR for four books, of which only two I have real plans on reading.

Pride & Prejudice by Jane Austen

The Giver by Lois Lowry

The Fellowship of the Ring by J.R.R. Tolkien

Big Red Tequila by Rick Riordan

So this is the plan for this month. First of all, I need to reread Pride & Prejudice for the Austen Project and then watch some of the adaptations made from it. That'll be interesting because I've read Pride & Prejudice a lot before, but never in English, so it'll be quite different. Then I'll read The Giver. I've been meaning to read this for a long time, but I knew I will have to eventually read it for school, so I decided to wait. And that time is now, so reading it begins. The next two books are really there for the heck of it. I really want to read them at some point and they're borrowed from a friend and I'd really like to give them back. So I'm putting them in to at least say I tried.

This is it, this is month of February. I really hope I can get to them, at least four books a week I have to read to reach my reading goal this year. It would be easy if it wasn't for school. But I think I can do it.

Thanks for reading and I hope you have a wonderful day!

Monthly Bookmark - September

*sniffs* I can smell the school anxiety coming. And we're going to have a blast.

September, guys. Summer. Is. Over. *dramatic sight*

Let's mourn for a few moments the loss of a great summer.

Moving on. This month I start school and it's going to be hella busy for me this first semester so I don't think I'll get much reading done. So I have reduced my list to four books only, so I can kinda keep on track with my reading challenge for this year. I really do hope I read at least one book more but I'm no really sure that I'll be able to even breath this month. *sighs* We'll see how it goes. And if you never see me until January, please know, I tried.

Without further ado, this is my Monthly Bookmark.

Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen

The Battle of the Laberynth by Rick Riordan

The Last Olympian by Rick Riordan

The Lost Hero by Rick Riordan

We Are Not Ourselves by Matthew Quick

Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen

First of all, I am finishing the two books I didn´t finish last month and those are, Sense and Sensibility and We Are Not Ourselves. I'm already finishing Sense and Sensibility and loving it so that won't be though, but for We Are Not Ourselves I'm not sure I'll actually finish it, I think I might just get to half of it and then stop. I feel bad because it really feels like it's something but I just don't have the time to be figuring out if it's really good or not. Maybe I'll finish it.

Then we have my bae Pride and Prejudice. This book is the reason of why I exist. I've only read it once and in Spanish so I'm really super excited to read it now. With this I'll be continuing my Project Austenland and I believe I'm going to have a blast reading it.

As you may see we have mainly Percy Jackson books and that is because I want to reread all of the book before Blood of Olympus and I still have some books to go, so I'll need to get on with this. I put three of them because, like I said, I don't have the time to read this books, but I do know they are really fast paced and quite easy to go through, and they are in Kindle form, so they'll be incredibly fast to read if I can squish I few minutes from now and then. If by some miracle I find myself reading all of this books, I might add The Son of Poseidon to the lost, but I really, really doubt that.

This months theme is Pride and Prejudice, in honor of the Austenland Project. It doesn't have much details, it really just is my writing in cursive, but I though that a simple touch of simplicity wouldn't harm anyone, would it? Also, my mom bought this papers with designs on it and she finished using so I went there and said "can I use them?" and she was cool with it so now I have new backgrounds for my bookmarks. Also, I'm back to the strips of glitter, I think they look good. Oh, and I can't find my hole opener so it doesn't have the little cord on top, hence my hand and those nails holding the bookmark. If I do happen to find it sometime during the month I'll be sure to show it to you in a post. And I added this thing that I just now realize that I didn't do before and that is writing the month and the year at the bottom. I don't know why I never thought of it before and even when I took the pictures I still hadn't thought of it. But it's a thing now, so don't worry.

That's it for this post. Once again I want to apoogize in advance for the lack of posting that it's probably happening in the next two or three months. I know I've said it enough but I just feel bad and really ansious about this. I really want to get this done and get the blog going. But, we'll see. Really.

Thank you again for reading and I hope you have a wonderful, full of books, non-spoiler day!

BookTubeAThon 2014!

It's that time of the year again! The BookTubeAThon is here! And it comes reloaded.

If for some reason you don't know what the BookTubeAThon is or have any questions about it, then here's a link for you to inform yourselves. BookTubeAThon

So, assuming you've informed yourselves about it, I am now going to tell you my plans for that week.

First of all, the BookTubeAThon comes with a bunch of challenges listed and as the very competitive person I am, I plan on completing them all! So, for that, I have created a TBR pile that will help me complete them in the most efficient way.

 This are just picture of the planning I did.

Ghostgirl  by Tonya Hurley

Homecoming by Tonya Hurley

Lovesick by Tonya Hurley

Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins

The Distant Hours by Kate Morton

Sarah's Key by Tatiana de Rosney

Starting by the first book, Ghostgirl. I've already read this book and the second one as well. But I have yet to read the third one. I have been planing for a long time now to marathon this series and what better moment than now! Reading this books will take off the list the "start and finish a series" and the "read a book with pictures in it" challenges. I will marathon the series and complete two challenges. That's what I call three birds with one stone.

Next up we have Catching Fire. Don't panic, yes, I have already read this book. I'm not that behind in books. Breath. The thing is I plan on rereading this series as well. And I have already reread The Hunger Games, so next would be Catching Fire, and this is the perfect opportunity. This will take off the list the "read a book with read in it" and the "read a book turned into movie and watch it" challenges.

After that I plan on reading The Distant Hours. This is a book that I've bee wanting to read for so long because it's by one of my favorite authors, Kate Morton, and I've read two of her four books. And I've heard everybody say that this is her best novel. And considering that the other two were amazing this must be heaven. But it's a book I've been wanting to read with free time, that I've been lacking this few months. But now is the time and I'm more than ready. This book will complete the "read a book by the genre you've read the least this year" and surprisingly, that genre is mystery! I'm a die hard fan of mystery novels and crime and suspense, and also historical fiction, but I've read nothing this year from mystery. And I want to read more mystery. I want to get back to my mystery mood. And I'm starting with this book.

Lastly, I will be reading Sarah's Key. This is another mystery, historical fiction book, which is great for my determination to read more mystery novels. This is another book I've been wanting to read for a long time, but never got around. And my mom keeps telling me to read and specially since lately I've been invested in World War and all that time I will like it more. So this book crosses the "read a book recommended by someone else" challenge.

And finally, the final challenge of reading seven books in total or 300 pages per day will depend on how well I do. Let's hope it all goes as planned.

Also, the BookTubeAThon has a YouTube part to it. Everyday, the booktubers are supposed to follow the instructions of the day, wheter it's show your favorite book or your top 5 authors. And I though that was a really cool idea and I wanted to do it myself, but I'm not a booktuber so it doesn't really work for me. Buuuuuuut, I'm doing them anyway.

Everyday, I'll be showing you and update of my books so far and how my day went, but also, I'll be showing you the challenges set for booktubers. And that way I'll have more fun!

I'm also going to use a bookmark where I'll be checking all the things I read and all the challenges I complete, etc. This way I won't loose track of anything and will be continuing to do my Bookmark thing.

That's it! If you have any thoughts about what I'm doing with the BookTubeAThon and you want to share them with me, then please leave a comment down below.

Thanks for reading and I hope you have a wonderful, full of books, non-spoiler day!

Also, have some extra hipstery pictures I took. Enjoy!

Monthly Bookmark - July

Oh July, how have I been waiting for you.

The time has come my friends, finally after all the stress and the subjects and all the people, we finally get the thing we crave the most. Summer. 

And as a good reader I plan to spend most of it reading like there was no tomorrow!

Sooooo if I plan to follow that statement, then that means that I should get on it right now.

City of Glass by Cassandra Clare

City of Fallen Angels by Cassandra Clare

City of Lost Souls by Cassandra Clare

Last month I wasn't able to read all of the books I wanted so all of those books will be read this month (see above Mortal Instruments).

The obligatory TBR this month is to read City of Glass, City of Fallen Angels ad City of Lost Souls. Once I finish those I plan to read the next two books in the Percy Jackson series to continue my PJO read-a-long. And from there I'll see where the wind takes me!

This month's bookmark theme is the Legend series, featuring Legend, Prodigy and Champion. I personally think this series was amazing, action packed and very intriguing. It does has it flaws but I forgave them because the series is amazing and Marie Lu's writing is pretty awesome as well. I love Day, I think he's great and really cute and bad-ass and June is my role model because the badassery you find in her is beyond what you could imagine. Great series, I recommend it if you haven't started it. It's fast paced, easy to read and the feels are everywhere.

That's it, if you have anything you'd want me to know or you want to share please comment down below.

Thanks for reading and I hope you have a wonderful, full of books, non-spoiler day!

Monthly Bookmark - June

New month, new life, new starts!

This is the first post of my new improving idea for using more bookmarks. It'll be called, for now, Monthly Bookmark.(Because I'm just that original).

In this I will show you my new bookmark and in there you'll find my "TBR" ("TBR" because I'll probably won't follow it) and every now and then I will be updating it with all the books I've read for now.

So, without further ado, let's begin!

TBR

City of Ashes by Cassandra Clare

City of Glass by Cassandra Clare

City of Fallen Angels by Cassandra Clare

City of Lost Souls by Cassandra Clare

The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan

The Sea of Monsters by Rick Riordan

This month bookmark-theme is Attachments by Rainbow Rowell because it's the last book I added at my favorite's shelf (ignore Animal Farm), and it's really a cute theme to put on a bookmark. I had a hard time doing those freaking chairs but they came out ok at the end.

My TBR consist on reading the whole The Mortal Instruments series this month because I think I've been putting it off for enough time and now that City of Heavenly Fire is out, I have more incentive to read it. Also, I plan on re-reading the first two Percy Jackson and the Olympians book because reading two books every month will get me ready for The Blood of Olympus (raise your hand if you're crying at this). But maybe I won't read them this month but the next, because I'm really busy right now, that's why they're not on the "official TBR". And I already read them so there's no hurry, really.

And that's it, that's my Monthly Bookmark and my TBR. The bookmark it's not really that well crafted but I'll get better along the way. Also, the timing isn't exact but whatever. I really hope you enjoyed and that you leave a comment talking about what you think about this, any suggestions you'd like to tell. Anything, really.

I'll talk to you later, and I hope you have a wonderful, full of book, non-spoiler day!
