Wrap-Up | January 2015

Hey guys, can you believe it's been one month since new year's? I can't! Time passes to fast when you're on vacations.


This month I read 11 books which I'm pleased with, it's what I should read to keep my Goodreads goal of 130 books & I did took a "week off" this month when I was at a more turist-y travel. My favorites of this month were: Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda by Becky Albertalli, The Start of Me and You by Emery Lord, Scarlet by A.C. Gaughen & Breathe, Annie, Breathe by Miranda Kenneally (review will be up soon)


On my 2015 challenges + the whole themed audiobook TBR that I tried to do this month I, well, absolutely and completely failed. I will NOT try to do TBR's anymore I just can't, is just becoming embarrassing how much I not stick to them - it's like if I want to not read a book I just book him on my TBR of the month. But the year is just starting, I will succeed on my challenges, even if not on my TBR's! 


I always watch more TV shows than movies so if I keep doing this expect more from the TV than from the theatres. The only movie that I remember having watched this month was The Woman in Black 2, which unfortunately didn't lived up to the first one, but I'm not a trusted resource since I ended up sleeping on the theater (for real). On my TV which I liked most to watch was: Parks and Recreation - the final season premiere this month and ohmygod I can't believe it's going to be over, too soon, too soon! Also on it's final season Hart of Dixie has been more adorable than ever, there is something so comforting about this series for me. Honorable mentions to Selfie - which I just finished watching the last episodes - and Red Band Society - which I didn't finished yet but ohmygod I already cried and laughed so much with this series!  



I have been on very slow indie sorta of mood for my musics since the ending of last year, one of my favorite albums to listen was rose ave. by You+Me - I've been obsessing with these songs since the released but now I was on a mood to listen to them on repeat. 



Just recently I also discovered that Sir Sly is the author for the song Ghost - which I was obsessing since I listened on Teen Wolf but couldn't find out of who it was - so now I'm listening to their newest album on repeat and it's exactly what I was on humor for on this exactly second, seriously so good!




Other band that I'm obsessing over is sirenXX which is terrible since they only have like one solo song (at least on spotify) so this makes me listen to the same song over and over and over - good thing the song is amazing! 



That was my month and what about yours? Was January good to you guys? What songs/books/movies did you liked the best? Tell me everything!

October Wrap Up

Hey guys! October is already over and Halloween already passed and all the candies are missing (oops), can you believe it? 'Cause I don't, each month passes quicker than the other, next month promises to be crazier than ever with finals and them BOM when I see it will be my bday and them xmas and them 2015. Okay, but we are here for wrap up, sorry got distracted.

This month I read 10 books (!) which is an improvement from September when I only read 5 books, actually it was the best reading month since I started college so I'm happy! A great thing that helped me to achieve this number was the "discovery" of audiobooks (I put discovery between quotation marks because of course I knew they existed just never had tried) - and later this week, or month, I will talk all about my new obsession and love for them.

About this TBR that I made at the beginning of the month, well I didn't read two of the books there BUT I did read the other four, which for me is super win on TBR's (seriously I had never followed a TBR so much!). SOOOOOOO next month I'll try again, since I'm trying to finish my review books until my vacation starts these books are all related to that: These Broken Stars & This Shattered World by Amie Kaufman & Meagan Spooner, The Bone Season & The Mime Order by Samantha Shannon, also The Rosie Project by Graeme Simsion - now this is very daring since I read only 3 ebooks last month and all of these are ebooks but I'm gonna try and the ones that I don't get to I'll read on November.

The books that I read (with links to reviews or Goodreads page):
1. Under the Never Sky, by Veronica Rossi
2. Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi I, by Tom Veitch
3. Wild Cards, by Simone Elkeles
4. Stitching Snow, by R.C.Lewis
5. The Spectacular Now, by Tim Tharp
6. If I Stay, by Gayle Forman
7. The One, by Kiera Cass (I'm thinking on doing a series review on this one)
8. Blue Lily, Lily Blue, by Maggie Stiefvater (and on this one too)
9. Wonder, by R.J. Palacio
10. For Real, by Alison Cherry (review up on release date)

Sorry for this wrap up be so practical and lame, I'm working on how to make this blog more me and college and life isn't helping. So, how was your reading this last month? Read any similar books?
