5 June, 202017 June, 2020 Sofi @ A Book. A Thought.34 Comments

💣 Hi, guys! I hope you’re having the most wonderful day despite everything that’s happening in the world, I send you all my love, support, and good energy.❤️ Today I’ve finally returned with an original book tag for you, but it’s not just any tag, it’s a super special post for me on a super special day too. Today is the birthday of my best friend and life partner for almost 8 years, my boyfriend, Ramiro, who is turning 26 years old, and I’m making this post as a gift for him in his day, so I’m super excited, I know he’ll love it. 🎊 My boyfriend has always been my biggest fan in each and every one of the things that I intend to do, he has always been there from the first moment supporting me and getting myself up every time I fell, even when I didn’t believe enough on myself, there he was to make me feel the most incredible person, I really know that I’m in a relationship with my best friend and that makes me feel very fortunate and happy. 😍 I know this is probably the cheesiest thing for you right now and I understand 100% if this is not your thing or you don’t feel interested, I respect it because I know it’s something different and unusual in my blog, but as my boyfriend has always been the biggest fan of my blog, I wanted to give it something special here for him, giving hem this little gift and of course, sharing with you as I always love to do. 🥰

I was thinking of what I could inspire my tag or what I could base on and nothing was more perfect than Peaky Blinders, with my boyfriend we LOVE this series, it’s one of our favorite things to watch together, so it seemed like a great idea to be inspired by this television series & combine it with books, of course, to make a fun and hopefully entertaining book tag! 👏🏻

In case you don’t know what Peaky Blinders is, it’s an English historical drama television series, created by Steven Knight and broadcast by the BBC Two channel & this is a short summary: Britain lives in the postwar period. Soldiers return, new revolutions are struck, and criminal gangs are born in a troubled nation. In Birmingham, a gang of street gangsters rises to become the kings of the working class.

I don’t want to make this an endless introduction, so I’m ready to start, but before I want to mention that I hope with my heart that you enjoy it and if you like the series or if you like the idea of the tag you decide to do it yourself, I’ll leave a couple of “rules” in case you decide to do it 😊 & of course, I want to thank you for your support and unconditional love, now without further ado, let’s START! 💣 Read More »

💫 Hi guys, I hope you’re having a WONDERFUL day, today I’m super excited because I bring you a special post since I’ll be part of a series recommendations post/videos for what will be the long-awaited second part of the O.W.Ls., this is a Magical Read-A-Thon called N.E.W.Ts. 😍 If you have already participated in the first part then you know kind of what it’s about, but if you haven’t participated yet, like me lol, and you want to do this second part anyway, that’s AMAZING!, you can do it, no problems. I’m going to leave all the information in a link to the official video of the N.E.W.Ts. announcement on the Book Roast channel 💞, she’s INCREDIBLE, she has created a fantastic system for this read-a-thon, it’s full of interesting things, she has even created several documents explaining everything perfectly where you can get rid of all your doubts, and also you can go to the document where ALL the subjects and promps are, those you should follow according to the career you’ve already chosen. 😊
I’m so bad explaining things, I swear,it’s like a chip in my head turn off every time I try lol, that’s why I don’t want to even try to, it’s a very complex read-a-thon and it’s really well thought out, so please check the link that I leave for you above to get all the information 😅

I’m so excited and happy to participate in something so big in the community, which I feel blessed to belong to, I know that many people will participate and I can’t wait to share some recommendations with you. 💕
As there are many grades and promps, the created has thought that it would be a good idea to separate ourselves by groups according to our Hogwarts Houses, to bring you some recommendations. In my pot, as everyone knows, I’m Hufflepuff 💛, so I’ve had to bring some recs for Care of Magical Creatures, Herbology & Muggles Studies.👏🏻 Each of them has three different promps that you must fulfill in order to achieve your goal. So if you plan or want to take any of those grades, then this is the right place for you!
I’ll be recommending 18 books, I ‘ve decided to do 2 for each promp, so it will be more fun and you’ll also have more options to choose from 👍🏻
I’m SO EXCITED, so without more further ado, let’s start!
I hope you enjoy and can find a book to add to your TBR for this wonderful Read-A-Thon💫

Marvel Avengers || Book Tag || 💥

7 June, 20197 June, 2019 Sofi @ A Book. A Thought.22 Comments

💫 Hi guys, I hope you’re having an INCREDIBLE day. Today I bring you a Book Tag that I’ve seen in the blog of the wonderful Jenna ❤️|| Bookmark Your Thoughts ||, and since then I’ve wanted to find a moment to do it myself. I’m not sure who was the creator, but if you know, let me know to give her/him the recognition it deserves. 💫

🌸 Before starting the tag wanted to clarify something, as you see by now, I haven’t posted on Wednesday, which I’ve never done before, but everything is GREAT!, it just has been my boyfriend’s birthday 🎊 and I’ve been very committed with the read-a-thon, so I haven’t had time to post, and being honest I didn’t want to do something just for post, you know?, because I knew then I wouldn’t be giving 100% of me. But it’s just that, and I wanted to share it with you.
I’ve been really having a great time with the Smutathon, I’ve read 2 of the 5 books in my TBR, so I think I’m doing pretty well, I’ve read The Unhoneymooners and Vicious, but I’ll tell you my thoughts next week, in my Wrap Up, and I possibly also have a series of short reviews so you can check out if you’re interested in knowing more about them.😊
Finally, you’ll notice that I’ll be testing new headers, I tend to get bored quickly from what I have and from time to time I like to change, so don’t worry anyway is a small change but it feels refreshing for me. Of course, let me know what you think, I don’t have a lot of design skills, actually, I don’t really have any, 😂 but I do what I can so I hope it’s pleasant to the eyes, at least 🌸

💫 So now, without further ado, let’s start with the tag and I hope you enjoy it and decide to do it yourself! 💫 Read More »

Title: A Darker Shade of Magic (Shades of Magic #1)

By: V.E. Schwab

Pages: 400

Published: February 24th, 2015

By: Tor Books

Genre: YA|Fantasy|Magic

You can buy it HERE: Book Depository

Kell is one of the last Antari—magicians with a rare, coveted ability to travel between parallel Londons; Red, Grey, White, and, once upon a time, Black.

Kell was raised in Arnes—Red London—and officially serves the Maresh Empire as an ambassador, traveling between the frequent bloody regime changes in White London and the court of George III in the dullest of Londons, the one without any magic left to see.

Unofficially, Kell is a smuggler, servicing people willing to pay for even the smallest glimpses of a world they’ll never see. It’s a defiant hobby with dangerous consequences, which Kell is now seeing firsthand.

After an exchange goes awry, Kell escapes to Grey London and runs into Delilah Bard, a cut-purse with lofty aspirations. She first robs him, then saves him from a deadly enemy, and finally forces Kell to spirit her to another world for a proper adventure.

Now perilous magic is afoot, and treachery lurks at every turn. To save all of the worlds, they’ll first need to stay alive.

April Wrap Up || ARCAttack Month & A Must-Read Fantasy ||2019 🍂

3 May, 20193 May, 2019 Sofi @ A Book. A Thought.40 Comments

🍂 Hi guys, I hope you’re having a beautiful day, today I bring you my Wrap Up of the month of April, where I’ll tell you all about my reading of the month. I think I’ve had quite average months in terms of the number of book reads, and this month isn’t the expectation, I feel it’s a good month, but at the same time, I feel I could have done better, you know? So next month, I mean now, lol, I’ll try to push myself a little more because I know I can read even more. Was a moment also in the middle of the month when I felt a little slumpy so that may have affected me a little, but the truth is that I’m fine with what I read, but I’m not completely impressed.
On the other hand, talking about blogging, I think this has been a FANTASTIC month for the blog, we have reached 3000 followers, which I still can’t believe, we are 3020 right now, so thanks to those beautiful 20 more people! I only feel pure love from all of you and it makes me happy that you’re enjoying my content and come back to see every post, it means the world to me. All this and also the gratitude post I’ve published, has filled me with nostalgia and has made me remember a little my beginnings and relive all this unique journey and that’s a wonderful thing for me. Sometimes stopping a little and looking back, everything we have done to get where we are makes us appreciate the little things, so I recommend you to do that at times when you’re stressed or lose your inspiration. Right now I feel that some way I’ve started again, I feel fresh and ready to continue! 💕

In other news, I made my own Book Tag (The Perfect Book) this month, I mean, maybe this sounds SO silly, but I was scared to death because I thought no one would like it, but everyone supported me a lot and I know you enjoyed it, so that makes me very happy!, maybe I’ll try more in the future!! I have a lot of fun doing it, but even more, seeing your answers 😍

Returning to the books that I’ve read, I have a very varied mix of genres and enjoy almost everything I read, with the exception of a book that I’ve given only 1 star and that didn’t happen since a while but well, I’ll tell you more about it. I decided this month to focus a little on some of my ARCs, which I’m very grateful for, so then participate in the ARCAttack Month, and finish reading 3 of the 4 ARCs that I planned to read, so I think it was successful! 👏🏻
Well, let’s start because then I talk a lot and this is getting longer and longer lol. 🍂 Read More »

Today I bring you the weekly meme “It’s Monday! What Are You Reading?”, which I love since it allows us to keep up of our recent and future readings, so without further ado let’s start!!

It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? is a place to meet up and share what you have been, are and about to be reading over the week. It’s a great post to organise yourself. It’s an opportunity to visit and comment, and er… add to that ever growing TBR pile! So welcome in everyone.

April TBR || ARCAttack Month and Such a HYPED Up Book || 2019 || 🍂

3 April, 20192 April, 2019 Sofi @ A Book. A Thought.19 Comments

🍂 Hi guys, I hope you’re having a great day and you’re reading delicious stories!. Today I bring you my TBR for the month of April, where I’ll tell you all about the books I plan to read during this month. Where I live in, the Autumn 🍁 has arrived and it’s my favorite season, I always feel that it’s so great and I feel so good reading in this season, for some reason, I LOVE it, so I hope to achieve some incredible readings * fingers crossed * 🤞🏻
I created my TBR this month with a lot of anticipation, in fact, I have it for a few weeks since I’m determined on what I want to read. I’ll be mainly focusing on my ARCs, I only read 1 last month so I have to catch up this month, many of them will be out in May, but I want to read them in advance so I can give you my opinion as early as possible, in case you’re interested and want to buy or pre-order the book. For this I’ll be participating in the #ARCAttack, this is hosted by Vicky (What Vicky Read) 💕 and it’s about reading only ARCs throughout the month so we can read all those we have pending. I think it’s a great idea so I’m excited to join in, if you also want to participate you just have to create your TBR and then use the hashtag I mentioned earlier on Twitter to chat about the books you’ll be reading during the month. I personally, will not read ONLY ARCs during the month, because I also have other readings planned, even so, I hope to read several of which I’m very excited for 😄
I also plan to buddy read a really hype book with my wonderful boyfriend, and that has me so excited, I feel it will be fun, and we can discuss it and then maybe make a post together about all our thoughts, to share them with you, which always it’s my favorite part 😍
Last but not least, I’m doing my own challenge where during the following months I’ll be reading The Lowest & The Highest Rated Books On My TBR, and this month I’ll continue with another of the books on my list, if you want to check my TBR for that, I’ll leave you the link 👏🏻 🍂

Before starting and as I usually like to do, I want to THANK YOU for the wonderful support you’re giving me, the amount of comments I’ve received this past month is crazy, they were more than 500 in total and despite the fact that visits and likes make me most than happy, there’s something in comments that fills my heart, is that possibility to talk to you and connect with you, that’s really the magic that blogging has, you know?
I know that maybe you’re super bored to see me thank all the time 😅 , but I can’t help it, this year is being INCREDIBLE for the blog and I want you to know how much I appreciate your support 😭
This month my goal is to comment more in your posts, visit new book blogs as well and continue to create connections with you all 😍
I hope you have a WONDERFUL month and I love you so much 💖

Down The TBR Hole || #6 ||☕️

31 March, 201931 March, 2019 Sofi @ A Book. A Thought.37 Comments

💫 Hi guys, I hope you’re having a beautiful day! Today I bring you another part of our series, the book meme “Down the TBR Hole”, which I’m doing hoping that it will help me to reduce the number of books that are in my current TBR.
My plan is to upload this meme every week where. (I’m glad that now you want to see more books in this post so I decided to do 10 books per post instead of 5, not only will it be MUCH more entertaining and fun, because we’ll have more books to talk about, but I’ll also be able to clean my TBR faster which is great!) so, I’ll show you 10 books of which I’ll choose which one I’ll keep or get rid of. I want to make this weekly meme as interactive as possible, so I’ll be consulting a lot with you, to decide what to do. There will be those books which I’ll be interested in (Keep), those which I’ll not be interested in anymore (GO) and those which I’ll not be sure about, and with those, I’ll need your help. So please, let me know all your thoughts in the comments and I’ll be able to take my decision and let you know in the next post. 💫

I’m very happy because I’ve seen that you have participated a lot in the previous post, leaving me your comments, so I’m super excited to continue with this weekly meme.
If you’re doing the same meme right now, let me know so I can check your post out and leave my thoughts there 💖Read More »

11 January, 201911 January, 2019 Sofi @ A Book. A Thought.61 Comments

💫 Hi guys, I hope you’re having a great day, full of amazing things. Today I bring you a list where I’ll show you my top 10 books that I need to read finally this year. It’s the first time I’ve done this kind of list and I think it will be fun to see how I do it by the end of the year.
This will be a kind of TBR for 2019, obviously, there are thousands of books that I would love to read this year, but the ones I’ll show you here, are those that I have been wanting to read for a while now and this year they’ll be my priority. It’s like a “Need to Happen” TBR lol.
So I hope you like it, as always all the books will have a link to Goodreads in case you want to add it to your TBR or check more about it 💫
