I hope you’re having a wonderful day full of good readings!โค๏ธ Today I bring you one of my much-loved book tags, which I enjoy doing every year, and I’m super excited to share a bit with you about my latest bookish plans for this year and some that I have for 2021 as well, which I hope brings only blessings to each one of us. ๐
This book tag I’m sure many of you already know, it’s The End of the Year Book Tag, where I’ll be answering some fun questions and sharing other bookish things. I’ve been tagged by two beautiful people and wonderful book bloggers this year: Jenna| Bookmark your Thoughts | & Nikki | The Night is Dark and Full of Books | I love them both with my heart and they’re also truly INCREDIBLE bloggers, so don’t hesitate to visit them, I know you won’t regret it. ๐๐
I feel that maybe I’m a little late with this tag, but I’ve decided to do it anyway, you know that I love these end of the year posts and I think is fun to open this round of “end of the year post” with this classic tag book that we love so much. I hope you enjoy it, you know that in addition to share with you a little about my plans and others, I also want to know your own answers in the comments and know what you think about the books that I’ll be mentioning, so don’t hesitate to let me know everything!!! ๐ Now without further ado, Let’s STARTED! ๐

December TBR | Catching Up: Finishing Some Series & Exciting 2020 ARCs โ๏ธ
โ๏ธย Hi, my beautiful bookish friends! I hope youโre having the most incredible day with the best readings.โค๏ธ Today I bring you a new Monthly TBR, where Iโm sharing with you my reading plans for the month of December. I still don’t know how, but we have reached the last month of the year!! Isn’t that crazy? surely 2020 will be one of those years that we’ll never forget and not for the best reasons, but luckily it has passed super fast for me, I’m excited for the new year to come and I hope it’s full of blessings and good news to the world, I think we all deserve that.ย ๐๐ป
So here I am today to share with you my reading list for this last month of the year. When you’re reading this I’ll be on my break, so I don’t know how much I’ll be reading during this first week but that’s fine, this month will be a month of relaxation for me, so it’s okay if I don’t read too much, on the other hand, I’m SO excited to be able to share with you ALL the end of the year posts!! ๐ When I return from my break I’ll be sharing with you my best readings, my worst, and all those types of posts that I love to do every year.
My plan for this month is also to do a lot of blog hopping, I think I should give you back a little of all the support that you have given me, I feel super blessed to be part of this community, so I’ll try to support you all as much as I can, super excited for checking all your posts!!ย ๐
So my reading plans are basically to finish catching up on some things, so in this way go into 2021 with a new vibe and eager to start new readings. First, I’ll be finishing some series, that’s really exciting for me, at last, I’ll be reading the final books of several series that I’m loving so far, and I’m dying to share that with you ๐ฅฐย & on the other hand, I still have a couple of ARCs that I want to read because they’re the last ARCs that I have left from this year’s releases and I would like to get into next year without any ARCs from 2020, you know? both books come out on December 1st, so I won’t get to read them for their release date but obviously, I’ll be reading and reviewing them during their release month, so I hope that’s enough, anyway super excited to tell you more about them!ย ๐ย
Then, if I’m lucky enough to finish with my priorities, I’ll be adding my Back-Up Pile with two books that I would like to be able to read before the year ends, it’s fine if I can’t, though, there’s no pressure, but it’s something that I also want to share with you today.ย ๐๐ปย
So, super excited to share my December readings with you, I hope you have the best end of the year and above all that you and your family are safe and healthy.โค๏ธ Now without further ado, I hope you decide to stay & let’s get started! โ๏ธย

ย ๐ชย Hi guys, I hope you’re having a wonderful day, full of good readings. โค๏ธ Thanks for all the love, you’re incredible. Today I bring you a post that I’ve wanted to do for a while now and as you have seen as the title says, it’s a post where I’ll show you all the series that I’ve started to read but I have yet to finish.ย ๐
As the good bookworm that I am, I love to start new series, in fact, it’s super crazy, but before creating the blog I used to marathon the series that I read a lot more, in fact, I always enjoyed buying the complete series to be able to read it, I know it’s a risk, but I loved doing it.ย ๐
Nowadays, I’ve seen especially on Twitter some comments about how waiting for the book series to be complete to buy and read them can be detrimental to the author, and it makes a lot of sense, honestly, I had never thought about it, so from now on I’ll support buying the first book, and in this way, I can also see if I want to continue with that series or not. It’ll be less risky for me too, so it’s a good thing.ย ๐๐ปย ๐๐ปย ๐๐ป
So, in short, I LOVE book series whether it be trilogies, duology, quartets, or more books, I really don’t care, if I enjoy the characters and the plot as such, so the more books the better!
So, in this post my goal is to be a little more organized about it, I know that this is something that most will feel related to, but it’s difficult to keep a track of each series that you start, and sometimes you just forget to continue with the rest of the books, even when you have loved the first book. So, today I’ll organize myself, and then start planning when I’ll finish these series. ๐ฅฐ
An important fact before starting is that these series that I’ve chosen for today are series, duologies, or trilogies that are already finished, by this I mean that the last book has already been released. I’ll focus on them, and then at another time I can make another post of those series that I want to continue but the next book hasn’t yet come out & if you’re interested, I could also make a post about those series I’ll not be continuing for x reason.ย ๐ค
Now, without further ado, I hope you enjoy the post that maybe you can find a new series that interests youย ๐, and as always let me know all your thoughts in the comments below, you know that I love chatting with you & LET’S START!ย ๐ช

๐ฅ Hi, guys! I hope you’re having a wonderful day, full of good readings and incredible moments. โค๏ธ Today I bring you a kind of Bookish Tag to share with you, THE THING IS: a few days ago I was watching videos in the Booktube world, and I came across this great idea on the jessethereader & Hailey in Bookland channels, and I thought it was such a fun series to bring it here, but in blog format. ๐๐ป
What is it about? Well, this book tag is about choosing two books that you have already read, and of those books, you should choose one to save, while you should drop the other. It sounds simple, but I think it will not be so because maybe I randomly pick books that I love completely and it will destroy my heart to have to choose between my babies, so we’ll see; also I know that I run the risk that you hate me, so I hope you still love me after this, it will not be easy. ๐ฅบ ๐ฅบ
To make it more fun and entertaining, I’ve decided to choose the books using my Read shelf in Goodreads, I’ll put it so that they’re sorted in a Radom way, and I’ll refresh the page to create pairs. ๐
I hope this makes sense to you, and so I can be surprised along with you while we do the tag, since I don’t know which book will be chosen.
I hope you like the idea, that it’s something that you find entertaining, and of course, it would be a pleasure if you decide to do it yourself too, just let me know because I would love to see your choices. ๐ป
I love you, infinite thanks for the love and support of all these years with my blog, I hope you decide to stay and accompany me on this incredible journey for much longer & without further ado, LET’S START! ๐ฅ

๐ย Hi guys! I hope youโre having a beautiful day full of good readings.โค๏ธ Today I bring you a new postโฆย my May Wrap Up! where Iโll tell you ALL about my readings of the month. May was a pretty good month in terms of reading, something crazy and messy, yes, but pretty good, but on the other hand not so good in mental terms, you know? I think that finally, the quarantine has come to me, I’m a super conscious person about everything that’s happening in the world, but I’ve never felt fear or anxiety about it, I try to be in a more relaxed state of mind and most of the time, has worked well, but this May I got a little out of control, I must confess. ๐ขย I’m always the first to tell you to prioritize your mental health over anything else, so obviously, I did that, and I found much comfort and support in YOU, even when you may not even know this, I LOVE and it brings me a lot of peace and positive energy to read your comments and interact with all of you in general, this is a community that always brings me good things, so THANK YOU, for being there for me to support me, love me and accept me. Blogging was wonderful, the best medicine is to do what you love, without a doubt. โค๏ธย
On the other hand, even though I’ve struggled a bit mentally, incredibly and contrary it has been one of the most creative months for me. I feel that maybe this is my point of view, but I’m very happy with the content of my blog this month, I’m 100% satisfied with it and I’m very happy to see the response that you’ve had to each post, it has been wonderful, really It brings me a lot of satisfaction and makes me SO SO happy. ย ๐๐ปย I hope to keep this pace of creation and ideas for June too, just in case I always write everything that comes to my mind, so I hope I already have a reserve of ideas for emergency lol. As always THANKS for your support for my blog and, especially this month, thanks to so many of you for sharing your experiences with your blogs in my discussion post, it really means a lot to me that you can open up and express your thoughts and feelings with me and with all of us. ย ๐ย I’m sure that each comment in that post could be a word of encouragement for someone else and that makes me very happy!ย ๐๐ปย
In terms of readings, being honest with you I expected to read much more, but you know, sometimes you don’t feel like reading and I accepted this, and I didn’t mean to force it, but I did expect to do a better job. Even so, it wasn’t a bad month at all and I really enjoyed everything that I read, in fact, there’s no a single book that I didn’t like this month, so that’s even more important than quantity (quality over quantity, always!) ย ๐๐ปย
I read a super famous and super loved trilogy and I’m very excited to share my thoughts with you, but basically was a very incredible read and I enjoyed it very much. On the other hand, I read a couple of sequels or series continuations, and they were great too, lots of action in them and wonderful characters & last but not least, I had the joy of reading an ARC of a book that’s probably among my favorites this year… It was wonderful, it touched my heart and although I hadn’t planned to read it, it was worth it. ย ๐ย
I hope you decide to stay with me during this post and get to know each of my readings, statistics, and some of my favorite posts.ย ๐ฅฐย I hope you enjoy it and without further ado, let’s get started! ๐Read More »

Top 5 | Favorite Authors & Book Recommendations ๐ต
๐ตย Hi, guys! I hope you’re having a wonderful day, full of good readings & of course, stay safe.โค๏ธย Today I’ve decided to come with a top 5 where I’ll show you my favorite authors and I will also recommend the books that I’ve enjoyed most of each one of them. I thought it would be fun to talk a little about the authors this time since they’re the ones behind those stories that we love so much, besides, I don’t think I’ve mentioned my favorites as much, so I hope this leads to inspiration for you to do the same, in fact, I invite you to do it if you feel like it, it’s always positive to spread a little love for these brilliant minds or you can also let me know your favorite authors in the comments, so I can write them down and start reading this year! Let’s share the love! ย ๐๐ปย
Obviously, since it’s a top 5, I won’t put in here ALL my favorite authors, only those who really resonate with me on another level and have changed my life with their wonderful stories. If you like the idea, of โโcourse, I can do a second part with more authors and more books!ย ๐ฅฐย Now without further ado, let’s get started! ๐ต Read More »
