🌸 Hi Guys!, I hope you’re having a beautiful day, today I’ll share with you my November Wrap Up, where I tell you about the books that I’ve read during the month. I’m really very pleased with my reading month, I think I was able to read almost everything I set out to read, so I’m happy about it.

Leaving the month’s readings a little aside, I had an INCREDIBLE month regarding the beautiful support I’ve received from all of you, I don’t like sharing my statistics and those things, because I feel there are many people who are just starting and they could feel the pressure about it, you know and I say this, because I’ve been there, but I just wanted to share with you that it’s been a great month for the blog. I’ve noticed a great growth in terms of followers in just a couple of days and that was amazing and such a beautiful surprise 😍
The blog has turned 2 years this month and that makes me felt a little bit nostalgic because it has happened so fast, but at the same time, I renewed my desire to continue with this project that gives me so much satisfaction and also, I have many new ideas for the next year and I’m very exciting to share them with you 🎉
I’ve started a new post series on the blog called “Spreading Love || Book Bloggers” (Part 1), where I’ll be sharing every week 5 extraordinary book bloggers that deserve all the love, and I’ve received beautiful messages regarding this and also a lot of support so I’m glad you like it, I’ll continue with this post series, as a way to express my gratitude to the community.
THANK YOU FOR ALL THESE THINGS, YOU’RE ALWAYS THERE FOR ME 💕

Well, back to my reading, I read a total of 6 complete books and I want to add 1 more to the list, because although while I’m writing this I haven’t finished it yet, I’ll surely do it by the time this is uploaded and you have seen it. So this month was great for me, I’m very pleased with what I’ve read, I’ve had quite normal readings but I’ve loved a couple of them. As always I had some variety, from sci-fi, which is rare in me, to romance, magical creatures, paranormal, fantasy and a pretty much dark retelling. Without further ado, let’s START! 🌸Read More »

She has an identical twin sister, Mira.

☕️ Hi guys I hope you’re having an amazing day!. Today I decided to bring you something different, a while ago since I don’t show you the advanced reader copies that so kindly publishers and authors give me to review, the last time I showed you my ARCs was in July so I already felt it was time to make another post like this, so that we share our thoughts about it and and I don’t do this kind of post more often because I honestly haven’t been requesting so often, since due to the new laws that some pages have imposed it’s now really difficult for an international blogger like me to be approved with an ARC. Even so, sometimes miracles happen lol, and now that I have accumulated a decent amount of books to show you, I’ve decided to do it. Maybe it’s not a post that I’ll start doing often cause of everything I told you before, but even so I’ll try to do it every time I want to share with you some ARCs that I receive.
Here below I’ll specify where each copy is from, but most will always be from pages as NetGalley and Edelweiss, and sometimes from authors as well☕️
I hope you enjoy it!💕Read More »

🌸 Hi babes! I hope you’re having a great day. Today I bring you my TBR of the month of October, where I tell you about the readings that I’ve planned for this month. As you know, the previous month, although I enjoyed the ones I read, it wasn’t my best reading month, so I’m excited for this month, because I want to read it ALL. I’m definitely in the mood to read a lot, in fact, ALREADY FINISH MY FIRST BOOK OF THE MONTH!, yes, I know, who am I, right ?. But still, I do not want to exaggerate with this because, you know, I can fail again and that would be humiliating lol. What I’ll be doing this month is simply read what I can, I will not pushing myself that much, but since I feel very eager to read and have had this successful start, I’ve prepared a great list of which I’m very excited, and I can’t wait to show you.

I have 8 books in my TBR for this month: I have a couple of ARCs, some New Releases, I’ll be Finishing a series, a Re-reading and a Short Novel. I’m super excited to tell you what I’ll be reading, but first I wanted to mention that some of the books that will be in this TBR are the same ones that have been in the previous one but I could’t read them, so I wanted to add them here. Now, without further ado, let’s START!🌸
