🌻AUGUST WRAP-UP: NEWTs READATHON EDITION🌻 . 🌿Laura Dean Keeps Breaking Up with Me (9/10). Wonderful graphic novel which explores the impact unhealthy relationships can have on ourselves and the people around us. 🌿Almost Love (4/10). The manipulative aspect of the “relationship” - although it was just a sex thing more than anything - and the impact it made was done well but the main character was just awful, even before the said relationship. She would’ve destroyed everything in her life given enough time. She was horrid, an absolute asshole. And one of those characters that never take the blame for everything because blaming others is easier, right? 🌿Skyward (8/10). A coming of age story set in space about friendships and realizing that the actions of our families do not define us. 🌿Lanny (9/10). An absolute wonder. Porter’s prose is enticing, rich and dazzling. Really impactful. 🌿Ship of Magic (8.5/10). Finally Robin Hobb delivers. This is a really awesome first book in a trilogy. 🌿The Priory of the Orange Tree (6/10). This was sadly a letdown. Not bad, but didn’t live up to my expectations. It had pacing problems and not all the characters were fleshed out equally. 🌿Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone. This will always get 5 stars - nostalgia is a bitch. I’m gonna reread the whole series in the following months and plan to do a comparison between books and movies because I have things to say. . And that is all! I completed my NEWTs and I can become a Hogwarts Professor 🙌🏼. How was your reading month? Any good gems you read? Or books to stay away from? Spill the beans! 🌻 • • • #readingwrapup #shipofmagic #harrypotterandthephilosophersstone #lanny #lauradeankeepsbreakingupwithme #skyward #almostlove #theprioryoftheorangetree #stackofbooks #bookstack #booksonbooks #booksoninstagram #readinggirl #booksaremagic https://www.instagram.com/p/B13QkNeor5T/?igshid=vzguy25kv09g

🌻BOOKISH THOUGHTS: Ship of Magic by Robin Hobb🌻 . Wow. This book alone is better than the whole Farseer trilogy. Finally I discover this great Robin Hobb everybody talks about because I definitely didn’t see the greatness in her first trilogy. . The world building, the characters (even the ones I despise - looking at you both Malta and Kyle), the plot... everything worked. It’s funny because it felt like reading a naval story where a bunch of sailors go to sea to gather goods to later trade them and we learn about their lives and their jobs and the business. If you didn’t include the liveships and the magical creatures, this book could be a contemporary instead of a fantasy novel. The way the story was being unravelled was so compelling and despite the fact that some things that happen were a bit predictable, it didn’t take away the enjoyment. I have a pretty good feeling I’m gonna adore this trilogy. Also, I do believe the multiple points of views and the third person narrative worked in favour of the story. . Cannot wait to continue with the second book once the NEWTs are over. Have you read this trilogy? Would you say it’s far better than the Farseer one? ⚓️ • • • #adayinbooklandreviews #shipofmagic #robinhobb #fantasyreader #fantasybook #fantasybookseries #leoyrecomiendo #reseñaliteraria #booksandcoffee #bookishthoughts #theliveshiptraders #ilovetoread https://www.instagram.com/p/B1dhIMfIdzI/?igshid=19vxbh614b8p

August 18th, 2019 || a reading update for the NEWTs readathon 💙 . I’m already on my last subject to be a Hogwarts Professor but two of the three books I need to get to are 800+ pages long. So far, I’m good and I think I’m gonna be able to do so. . I’m more than halfway through Ship of Magic and I can say this book is better than the whole Farseer trilogy. The story is way more engaging and I believe I’ll finish it in the next two days. . I’m only 250 pages into The Priory of the Orange Tree 🐉 and so far the world is super interesting but in my opinion there are too many characters and it took me a while to place and know everybody without any kind of confusion. . I will not going to be as active as always because the signal where I’m at is not so great and my data is running out (first world problems, am i right? 🙄)... in the meantime, what are you guys reading? 🌻 • • • • #currentlyreading #shipofmagic #theprioryoftheorangetree #fantasybooks #samanthashannon #robinhobb #unitedbookstagram #fortheloveofbooks https://www.instagram.com/p/B1TPznUIWzI/?igshid=115kwapxz4l7k

It's been way too long since I actually did a #socksunday post!

Couldn't resist and picked up another book. When I get into anything, I really let it consume my life. I have no self control. I started to lose sleep to stay up reading. I was reading a chapter when I woke up --shortening my morning workout-- during breaks, as soon as I got off work. I was gonna take a break. But that didn't happen. I'm telling myself I'll control myself better this time. We'll see... Anyways this is from the same author I've been reading, #robinhobb. Takes place in the same world. #shipofmagic
