Gaaaah I'm so mad.
I started this book like "omg yes an Ali McNamara book, I'm gonna love it!" and finished it like "omg thank god I'm done".

So boring. The premises were super good, don't get me wrong, but then it just turned into something old and already seen/heard of and NAH.
Unfortunately, not my cup of tea.

5⭐ to this one! Entertaining and informative, I loved it!

How are you doing guys? Reading anything good?
I'm still stuck with my university text books, so nothing too exciting, BUT I'm really liking them nonetheless!

Hello readers! Today I finally finished reading the book you see on the left, which was a uni read as I had already told you and I started reading this other one in the right (always about the publishing industry, specifically the graphic side of it) and I'm really enjoying it so far! It's very informative without being boring, I'd say it's funny, to be honest. The writer did a great job with it.
#universitytextbook #publishingindustry #reading

Reading this book for university. It's about the history of the publishing industry in Italy from 1861 to our current days. It's very detailed and helpful although very slow as well, due to all the dates and percentages and whatnot.

Are you familiar with books explaining or telling you about the publishing industry in your country?

This is a book I still need to read! Has anyone read it? What did you think of it?

It sounds really interesting, but I've heard mixed thoughts on it.

#currentlyreading Ali McNamara's Daisy's Vintage Cornish Camper Van, I'm only 100 pages in and can safely say she never disappoints me! So so good so far.

PROPHECIES.

?Carve the Mark
Fates are assigned at birth by an oracle.

?The House of Night
There are prophetesses here!

?Good Omens
The epithet of "prophecy": "the nice and accurate prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch".

?Girls of Paper and Fire
Birth Pendants are forged during the Birth Blessing and at 18 they'll reveal a word that will determine the fate of the owner.

➡️Do you like prophecies? In which books did you find them?

Some days ago I bought The Fates Divide by Veronica Roth.
Funny thing is: I still have to read Carve The Mark.

EDIT: Jess from the future (July 6th 2021) has read both and has neither hated nor enjoyed them. Life is hard.

What was your June's favorite?
Mine definitely was The Heir by Kiera Cass!
Eadlyn is such a drama queen and a badass at the same time. I love her. Way more than her mom!

EDIT (July 6th 2021): The Heir was awesome, can't say the same for The Crown. My god I wanna rewrite that ending.

Wow! For the first time I post something that hasn't been posted on my IG yet! Well, not entirely true. This is only another version of the picture I posted yesterday, but this editing is completely new!

Fairyloot unboxing!!!!
Ahhh I loved this box so much ❤
Are you a subscriber?
I only do single purchases cause they're really expensive, in that way I can pick only the boxes that resonate with me the most.
If you bought this one, what was your favorite item? Mine is the book sleeve of course 😂 I desperately needed it.

We're already half way through May.
I think I read 2 or 3 books so far and one of them is the one you see above tagged, Dreams of Gods and Monsters!
I still feel empty even if I finished it some days ago, just because I know that I won't read about Karou and Akiva and Liraz and Zuzana and anyone else from that world anymore.
What's a trilogy or series you weren't prepared to say goodbye to?

EDIT (July 6th 2021): 3 YEARS AGO?!? ALREADY?!?!!

Sooo spring stack + spring read!
I'm talking about Dreams of Gods and Monsters which I AM LOVING SO MUCH!!!
What are your spring reads?

EDIT (July 6th 2021): mine have been university text books. They still are tbh. Not fun.

I think buying books is my way to overcome pain and stress. It puts at ease and makes me happy.
I think I'm becoming one of those kinda old ladies that go into shops and buy shoes and bags and whatever.
I bought 7 books today. 7!
I couldn't believe my eyes. I felt terrible for a second, then.... I stopped.

This is what I mean when I say "COVER BUY".
I'll be honest: when I bought the Shatter Me series ALL AT ONCE, I purely bought them for their covers. I didn't even know nor I cared about reading a synopsis.
Yup.
What's one of your cover buys?

EDIT (July 7th 2021): how much time do you have? I have a list that approximately is as long as infinity.

Oh my gosh.
The twists, the writing, the characters, the world building, the tension, everythint in the book is perfect!
Gonna buy book 2 today cause the end was 😱😱😱😱.

I'm buddy reading this book with a friend!

4/5⭐
Sara never fails to surprise me.
With a completely new story, she leaves the dystopian world for a sci-fi one.
And she nails it again, although I didn't fully enjoy the many references to the Black Tiger series, her previous and first work.
But despite all this, I loved this book and its story, Lark and Kalen have a place in my heart ❤.

#recommendsday
City of Heavenly Fire is still my current read but IT'S EASILY BECOMING MY SECOND FAVORITE BOOK from TMI series!
I'm loving the atmosphere, the tones, the dialogues, Jace... Basically EVERYTHING.
Cassandra is part of the downworld.... She's a witch. I'm sure of that.
#cityofheavenlyfire #cassandraclare #bookishworld #shadowhunters

The Shadow Children is written in a fast paced way, that will make you want more and more, because the secrets are revealed little by little and you just WANT TO KNOW EVERYTHING, you want to understand what the heck is going on, and the ending is no exception.

Hello readers! It's been a month since I last posted 😱 how are you?
For the first time ever, I'm posting a picture here before posting it on IG, you have a VIP access for today!
This is my BOOK HAUL for the month of November 🙈 I bought 9 books (one still has to arrive) and received 3 from authors (Teddy Bear Chronicles, Phoenix Descending and Il Ragazzo Ombra).
I'm really satisfied, also because I bought most of these thanks to Black Friday🎊

"This remains between us," I say gently. "Tonight is ours, ans no one else's, forever."
"Forever."

“You're just worried they'll hire a male instructor and he'll be hotter than you." Jace's eyebrows went up. "Hotter than me?"
"It could happen,"Clary said,"You know, theoretically."
"Theoretically the planet could suddenly crack in half, leaving me on one side and you on the other, forever and tragically parted, but I'm not worried about that either. Some things,"Jace said, with his customary crooked smile,"are just too unlikely to dwell upon.”

#currentlyreading Red Rising by Pierce Brown.
The beginning was a bit rough but I'm really enjoying it now! Have you read it? What do you think about this book?

The moment I was waiting for has arrived. Welcome to Jurassic Park.

EDIT (July 7th 2021): I've read The Lost World back in May. So so good.

"What's your plan?"
"It's.." I search for a word that will make my idea not look like complete lunacy, (..) "It's insane" I finally say. "So insane that I can't imagine how it will work." (..)
"I thought you told me you loved stories. Have you ever heard a story of an adventurer with a sane plan?"
"Well..no"
"And why do you think that is?"
"Because..Ah, because.."she chuckles again.
"Because any sane plan never work, girl, only the mad ones do."

5/5⭐
The perfect final chapter for an amazing trilogy, starting with Black Tiger and Ashen City. White Dawn is the last installment and it's mind blowing and always keeps you on the edge. Page turning.

Compelling, fast paced and with a whole new concept: the story is told through the eyes of teddy bears. Despite the title, this is NOT a book for children. Involves romance, stalking and murder. Highly developed and structured. Amazingly well written!

Yesterday I was looking at the calendar and saw it was the 1st of August, and I realized I already have 2 books to put in my wrap up at the end of the month. Never happened before.

#currentlyreading three books now! The one tagged above, White Dawn by Sara Baysinger and A Torch Against The Night by Sabaa Tahir.
Are you a polygamist reader?

EDIT (July 7th 2021): I still am and it doesn't work all the time 😬

When you're buddy reading a book and you are afraid to open the group chat because you're late on your reading and you're afraid of spoilers.
#atatn #aeita #sabaatahir #yalovin #bookwormproblems

EDIT (July 7th 2021): nothing has really changed. I just got older.

While on my trip to the mountains in Italy, I read Nerve by Jeanne Ryan. I was surprised by how different the book to the movie adaptation was!
Both were equally good though.
What was one book to movie adaptation that was completely different from the original concept?

Going on a trip and getting some reading done!
#julyreadathon2017

Being done with exams leaves me with plenty of time to read and review some of the books I was sent over these past months. Right now, I'm reading Shadow of The Mark by Leigh Fallon, sequel to The Carrier of The Mark. Unfortunately we only have the first two books, the third one wasn't published.
Then I'll be reading another book, but I can't tell you anything about it, and I'm reviewing White Dawn by Sara Baysinger which is amazing!
#bookcover

Update: I finished it guys!!!! Last night at 3.30 am. Gosh. Two books already read in July. I feel quite satisfied! Now on with the beta-reading and White Dawn by Sara Baysinger!

2.45 am. Page 340 of 378. Jess, you'd better not fall asleep.

#tbt to when I was playing with books, blur and cameras 😂 things a bookstagrammer does 💁

"Yours truly, Huck Finn." - Mark Twain.

Dooooneeee!!!!

EDIT (July 7th 2021): it was a struggle, but I liked it.

Let's start the countdown for The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.... -34 pages.

How many books have you read so far this year? What was your favorite? I'm at 35 and I'm 8 books ahead of schedule! My favorite has to be City of Ashes so far 💙

EDIT (July 7th 2021): I'm 32 out of 50 done, I see I've become even more of a slow reader eheh

I'm reading this book as there was "best before 7th July" written on the cover. #universitytest #darnit

EDIT (July 7th 2021): how ironical. I still have nightmares thinking back to this exam.

Hey Litsy people! How are you? I just wanted to tell you that I kind of reviewed (kinda, because I still have to finish it) this book on IG, if you want to know what I think about it, click on the link in my bio! Thanks❤

Happy cover reveal to the sequel of Blood Rose, Blood Magic!!! I loved this book so so so much, and I can't wait for it to be out with OfTomes soon! Ahhhh so good.

Rating: 4/5⭐
Witches, Hunters, Vampires and all sorts of cool things we adore. To celebrate the re-releasing of Blood Rose with OfTomes, here is the shortened version if the review I had the pleasure to write last year.
