21 December, 202020 December, 2020 Sofi @ A Book. A Thought.43 Comments

🌿 Hi, guys! I hope you’re having a beautiful day, full of good readings & wonderful moments.❤️ Super excited to finally bring you a new end of the year post, this time it will be all about those books that I liked the least this year. Of course, it’s always good to clarify that this is only my personal opinion about them and it doesn’t mean that they’re bad books or I hate them, they just haven’t worked for me. 😊 There are a couple that I’ve abandoned and others that simply haven’t resonated with me for centers reason. I know that lately there has been some controversy with this type of posts on Twitter, especially, and I rarely get involved because I don’t like conflict, but I’ll say what I said on the networks, and it’s that sometimes I feel that when we book bloggers or creators of content, talk negatively about some book so everyone talk about it, but when we work hard on our content and publicizing all those books we love throughout the year nobody recognizes our work, so you know what? You can and have all the freedom to talk about those books that haven’t been for you because it’s valid as well and as long as it’s done with respect, it’s fine. 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻
Luckily this year it has been difficult for me to choose “bad” books to share with you because I really read things that I really liked, some that I’ve loved and others that have been good, so it was a challenge to find these five books which I’ll talk to you next.
My plan is to share with you these books, from the one I liked the most to the one I liked the least. I’ve also decided to include some books that I’ve DNFed this year for the simple reason that they’ve not been for me and because, to be honest, I had no more “bad” books to talk about and that’s great, of course. 🥰
I’ll do this post as I try to do all my posts, with a lot of respect and love above all, but I’ll also be 100% honest about my opinions, always remembering that it’s not the absolute truth about these books, but rather a personal experience. Now without further ado, let’s start, I hope you enjoy it & also share your opinions with me. 🌿

Save One, Drop One | Book Edition 🔥

16 November, 202015 November, 2020 Sofi @ A Book. A Thought.32 Comments

🔥 Hi, guys! I hope you’re having a wonderful day, full of good readings and incredible moments. ❤️ 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. 👏🏻
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. 🥺 🥺
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. 😄
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. 🌻
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! 🔥

July Wrap Up | Having fun with PopCulture Readathon & Getting out of my Reading Slump ❄️

31 July, 202011 August, 2020 Sofi @ A Book. A Thought.40 Comments

❄️ Hi guys! I hope you’re having a beautiful day full of good readings.❤️ Today I bring you a new post… my July Wrap Up! where I’ll tell you ALL about my readings of the month. July was such a crazy month for me, maybe a little messy in terms of reading, but I also had a lot of fun and I’ve had beautiful surprises and blessings to be thankful for, so I can say that it was a great month and although I didn’t read as much I was expecting to, it’s okay, I’m learning to be patient with myself and understand that I’m just coming out of a reading slump so I understand that it will have a somewhat slow start and that’s ok, we must love and understand ourselves when we’re going through this type of state, I‘m glad that I was able to read and actually enjoy the process, which was difficult for me a month ago. I didn’t really read any book that blew me away, but I did enjoy one enough and I’ve found super interesting stories, I’m also happy to have given the opportunity to several genres, which is always positive, I’ll tell you more in my statistics and in my summary of each book. 😊

Before starting and sharing with you all my readings, I want to thank you SO SO much for all the love I’ve received this month, I’m infinitely grateful, guys, for each one of you, the connections I’ve made thanks to the blog are what I treasure the most of this beautiful experience. 🥰 I was the blog of the day on Twitter 🎉, which is always a wonderful and super significant detail that helps me grow, so thanks to @TheWriteReads for all their work and support he gives to the book bloggers community & in addition to this I’ve reached the 5000 followers with the blog and I just CAN’T BELIEVE IT!! I don’t really know how to express how grateful I feel with each person who decides to follow my blog, it makes me happy and I promise that I’ll only improve every day to give you the best of myself. I LOVE YOU and you know I’m always there for you if you need me

Plus, I want to thank every book blogger who has included me in their lists for the Book Blogger Awards nominations, I didn’t expect all the love I received and my heart explodes with joy, thank you SO much, guys, you’re wonderful. ❤️

So during the month of June, I participated in the incredible PopCulture Readathon and my personal goal was simply to read as much as I could, so even though I didn’t read how much I wanted, I read what I could and that’s fine with me, let’s say I made it 😅 This was one of the best and most enjoyable readathons in which I’ve participated, I’m absolutely in love with it and I hope I can participate in the future when I feel like reading more, so I can get more out of it. 😍 Even so, I had a lot of fun, I loved it and I read an incredible fantasy, I participated in a blog tour where I discovered a magical book with an incredible atmosphere, a unique mystery, an unexpected short novel, the end of a series which left me with mixed feelings & I DNF a very popular book. 👏🏻 I also want to talk a little about my current reading, so without further ado, I hope you enjoy the post, remember that I love to know what you think, so let me know everything in the comments, I LOVE YOU & let’s get started! ❄️Read More »

11 May, 202029 May, 2020 Sofi @ A Book. A Thought.49 Comments

🌵 Hi, guys! I hope you’re having a wonderful day, full of good readings & of course, stay safe.❤️ 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! 🙌🏻
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 course, I can do a second part with more authors and more books! 🥰 Now without further ado, let’s get started! 🌵 Read More »

🌻 Hi guys!! I hope you’re having the best day & you’re enjoying your reading 💞 Today I bring you my beloved Wrap Up of the month of November, where I’ll talk about all the books I’ve read during the month. WOW, what a month, you guys! It has been an emotions rollercoaster, no doubt. The month began with me going away on a mini-break/vacation thing and visiting family, and I finish with my mother’s surgery and has been a crazy month, really. On the one hand, I’m happy because I look back and I’m lucky that I have a wonderful family and I’m grateful because my mother has had the opportunity to go to surgery to improve her of life quality and that’s wonderful, but on the other hand, I’ve been so stressed because I had to deal with a lot of things, I’0m the big sister, you know lol, so it was an intense month I would say. Even so, always staying very positive because I know how lucky I am because I also have YOU ❤️, who have been amazing this month, and have understood and supported me in everything, so THANK YOU SO SO MUCH! You’re incredible & I’ve been blessed with hundreds of wonderful comments wishing a good recovery to my mom, she’s doing incredible guys, thank you very much for all that beautiful energy. 💫

In other news, the blog has turned 3 years old this month!! 🎉 OMG, time really flies, right? I hope and want to continue blogging for much longer and continue to share my love for reading with each of you, as well as continue learning and growing. 👏🏻 I feel this community as part of my family and that’s such a warm and beautiful thing to feel, you have to know that you’re never alone if you are part of the book community. 🥰

Image result for I'm emotional giphy — Literally me … always 😅

Because of everything I previously told you, it has been a busy month, so I haven’t had the chance to read much, yet I’m happy to have been able to fit 3 books in my super busy month. So in spite of everything, I would call it successful 😊 , because I also enjoyed EVERYTHING I read, some more and others less, but all of them great books that I die to share with you. I read books by my favorite authors: Taylor Jenkins Reid & Leigh Bardugo, I’ve both had them in my bookshelf for a while now, so I was super excited to finally read them and I had another super unexpected reading of a subject that I love … I’m so excited to start telling you how I felt about each one of these books and to know your opinion! 😍 So, without further ado, let’s start & LOVE YOU! 🌻Read More »

💫 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!. 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 »

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.
