Top 10 | 5-Stars Worthy Magical & Paranormal Books 🌙

17 August, 202117 August, 2021 Sofi @ A Book. A Thought.51 Comments

🌙 Hi, bookish friends! How are you today? I hope you’re having a wonderful day, and are enjoying the best reads.❤️ Today I’m super excited and happy to bring you the third part of this top 10 series I’ve been doing for a few months now, and I’m more than happy to continue this series, ending for now with what will be my top 10 books of magical realism, magical touches in general and some paranormal tones as well, books that, of course, I think are 5 stars worthy. 👏🏻👏🏻 If you’re interested in knowing a bit about the other previous posts, I’ll leave them right here so you can take a look at them: on one side we have, 5-Stars Worthy Contemporary Books & on the other side, 5-Stars Worthy High-Fantasy Books.
You may have already noticed that it wasn’t easy for me to give a specific title to this top because it makes more sense in my head than when I explain it for some reason 😅, but I hope it makes sense to you. What I wanted to do, in general, is to put in this top all those books that despite having fantasy touches none of them fit in the category of high-fantasy, and on the other hand, I also have books here that are contemporary but with strong touches of magic-realism, magic in general or that have some darker and paranormal aspect or out of the ordinary, you know? 🌟 I know it sounds complicated, but I swear it will make sense once you see them all together, as I think they fit perfectly into this rare but magical category, which I must also confess that has some of my favorite books, so I’m super excited to share the list with you. 😊

Of course, I hope you can find new books to add to your TBR, and maybe read at some point, also you know I LOVE to know what you think, so feel free to tell me all about it in the comments and we can chat a bit. 🥰 Thank you SO much for supporting this series as well as every blog post, it means a lot to me, and now YES! get ready for lots of charming titles, get comfy, find your favorite drink & let’s get started! 🌙

💕 This post may contain too many beautiful covers, I recommend discretion.

Top 10 | Books that Made me Feel Emotional 💧

20 November, 202019 November, 2020 Sofi @ A Book. A Thought.42 Comments

💧 Hi, guys, I hope you’re having the most wonderful day, full of good readings and precious moments.❤️ Today I’m super excited because I come with a new TOP 10 and it has been a long time since I made one so, YAY! You already know that you can take this type of tops as recommendations too because they’re books that I love deeply and I’m always recommending, so I would be more than happy if you added them to your TBR. 😍
So, as I was saying, this time I bring you a top 10 where I’ll share with you all those books that when reading them made me feel many emotions, from that happy feeling in my belly to that sad feeling that breaks your heart, but in any case, are wonderful stories that I have no doubts will touch your soul and will make you feel MANY things. 😭
I was inspired to do this post because recently in a book tag I mentioned that I loved books that made me cry, and I thought it would be an unpopular opinion, but it ended up being a surprise to me because many of you mentioned that you also love books that make you feel emotional in a sad way, but at the same time, it makes you feel more connected with the story and you can put yourself in the characters’ shoes, you know? it’s a beautiful feeling. With some of these books I’ve cried, of course, but with all of them I’ve felt that feeling of WOW, it broke my heart but in the best way, if there’s such a thing 😂

As I said, I hope you enjoy the post and that mainly, you can find new readings to add to your lists and read at some point, I would love to know your feelings about these books. 👏🏻 So without further ado, let’s get started! 💧

Book Recommendations | Standalone Books Edition #2 🌲

26 August, 20203 September, 2020 Sofi @ A Book. A Thought.41 Comments

🌲 Hi, guys! I hope you’re having the most wonderful day, having incredible moments, and reading the best books.❤️ This month I’ve brought you a recommendation post, of those that I LOVE to do, all focused on standalone books (You can find PART #1 right here) and I could see you’ve enjoyed it a lot, which always makes me SO SO happy, so I’m excited to bring you a second part! 🥰 I hadn’t really thought about doing a second part, but I realized that there were several books that I hadn’t yet been able to recommend and they hadn’t entered the previous list, so I’ll gladly be including them here today. This time I’ll also be using the same format as before, which I will explain below in case you still don’t know what it is about. My idea is to give you a style of recommendations where it is easier to find the perfect book just for you, so that you can simply add it to your TBR and start reading it. 👏🏻

So how will this be? You know that I like to give a special touch and a different thing to my recommendation posts since I want it to be a fun experience for you and that you can also really feel they’re more personalized recommendations where I think that hopefully, you can find the perfect book just for you. 💕 That’s why this time I’ve decided to classify the books by categories according to how they’ve made me feel while reading them so you can find the one that resonates best with you and your reading tastes. For example, I have classified those standalone with a magical touch, those more complex and you can even find some lighter ones to enjoy. 😊

If you want to know my complete thoughts on each of the books you can do so by clicking on the names of the books, which will take you directly to my review without spoilers 🙌🏻

I hope you like this idea very much, I always try to bring you the best of me and that we can have a good time together and chat a little about books because that’s why we are here, right? 😍
Thank you SO SO much for the infinite support, you know that I feel it very deeply in my heart and I treasure every comment, like and shared that you give to my posts, I put a lot of love in my work and the recognition is always a blessing 🥺. Thank you, mis amores, for being there always & now, let’s get started, I’m super excited! 🌲

🌻 Hi guys, I hope you’re having a beautiful day surrounded by incredible readings! ❤️ Today I’m SO SO excited, this is a very special post of thanks because the blog has reached 5000 followers and in honor of it, as a small but fun celebration, I want to share with you my favorite books of all time!!! 🎉

OMG, I still can’t really believe the blog reach the amount of 5000 followers 🥳, it’s SO awesome to think that there are 5000 wonderful people who have trusted me to entertain them and I hope I’m giving enough of myself to all of you. Each person who decides to trust me and my work with my blog means the world to me and only empowers me to improve every day to bring you only the best and always looking for this to be a place of love and harmony where we can share our love for reading, but also where you can be 100% honest without fear and without reservations because here there’s only positivity and acceptance. 🥰 I LOVE YOU from the bottom my heart, I’m very blessed by the fact of living every day enjoying this experience of being a book blogger and all the good that comes with it, I’ve met wonderful people and you know that you’re one of them, I’ve discovered incredible new reading and I’ve grown as a person and as a reader a lot. Also, of course, I’ve learned from you and I’ve overcome many of my insecurities and fears thanks to this safe space. 🥺 I would like to have all the right words to express everything I feel right now, but I’ll fail just trying, the feeling is much bigger than the words, but I hope you get a little bit of that through this post. I know it’s a little all over the place maybe because I’m talking about everything I feel right now, but it seems right because it’s real and honest, so I’ll just go with the flow lol. I’m planning to do a super special and incredible giveaway to celebrate my 4 years with the blog, that will be in November, I wanted to tell you to know that there will be a “THANK YOU” giveaway to return a little of all the love that I receive day by day. So, in summary, I wanted to say THANK YOU, for always being there for me, commenting on my posts, putting likes, sharing my work, that means a lot and helps me a lot to grow. You’re wonderful and I wish that all your dreams come true. LOVE YOU!! 😍

In other news, but also as a celebration of this special day, I want to share with you my top 10 favorite books of ALL times and only for you 👏🏻, I’ll leave a small quote because I think it gives more depth and more meaning to each book, and I know that you like quotes as much as me, so I’ll add them together with the synopsis my reviews and the links where you can add and buy the books if you’re interested. The books aren’t in any specific order, because that would break my heart, I LOVE them all equally and I highly recommend them. ❤️
I hope you like this idea, I felt it would be fun and light, my main goal was simply to thank, but I’m also a book blogger so it obviously seemed very appropriate to share my most loved books with you! Now without further ado, I hope you enjoy, let me know everything in the comments & let’s get started! 🌻 Read More »

TOP 5 | Atmospheric Book Recommendations | #2 🌿

22 June, 202010 July, 2020 Sofi @ A Book. A Thought.63 Comments

🌿 Hi guys! I hope you’re having a beautiful day, full of good readings, and of course, you’re safe and healthy.❤️ Today I returned with the second part of my atmospheric book recommendations, it made me SO SO happy to see that you liked the first top 5, so I’m super excited to bring you more amazing recs of books that, of course, I’ve read and enjoyed myself and feel that you could too. So here, as I said in the first post, I’ll be sharing books with wonderful & vivid settings, others somewhat creepy, but above all beautiful and 100% atmospheric. 👏🏻 The idea came out to me because I honestly LOVE this feature in books, it’s one of my favorite factors when I choose what to read and it always ends up having a great impact on my enjoyment, I just adore atmospheric books, when you feel that you can be in the place where the characters are and especially when you feel that you’re surrounded by that immensity or that landscape so vivid that you can almost touch, smell and feel everything around you. This is a feeling that I adore with my heart, so what I want with these posts is that you can also find a book that can make you feel all that and much more while enjoying the story and managing to fully commit yourself to the plot. 😍
I would love to know your opinion and your own recommendations for me, I’ll be adding MANY books to my TBR, so don’t hesitate to let me know everything in the comments. 🥰
Now without further ado, let’s begin, I’m super excited to share this very atmospheric top with you & I hope you enjoy. 🌿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 »

Burn, Rewrite, Reread || Book Tag ☕️

18 September, 201912 October, 2019 Sofi @ A Book. A Thought.35 Comments

☕️ Hi guys! I hope you’re having a great day, full of fantastic readings. 💕 I haven’t been having much time to read, I already told you that I’ve been looking for a job, and I haven’t yet achieved anything for sure, but for now I’m helping my aunt in her salon and that plus family matters are taking all my time to read, even so, I take it easy and I’ll soon participate in a read-a-thon, so that will surely motivate me to read a little more. 😊
Today I bring you a SUPER fun book tag that I’ve seen around the blogosphere a lot and finally I’ve decided to try it myself. This is basically about choosing 3 books, that you have already read, per round and from them choose one that you want to “Burn“, another that you prefer to “Rewrite” and another that you would like to “Reread“. To make this more complicated, I’ve chosen 18 of my favorite books so I’ll surely be suffering a lot throughout this post, but I hope it’s fun and entertaining for you. 😅 I’ve put the names of each book on a page that will choose the books randomly, so it will be super interesting to see what book will go in each round. Without further ado let’s start because I’m very excited but also terrified, it will be an AMAZING experience lol ☕️ 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💫

🌿Hi guys, I hope you’re having a BEAUTIFUL day, I love you and you’re an amazing person, each one of you. 💞 I’ve been so sick these days, I have the flu 🤧, so I’ve been feeling horrible and I haven’t been reading so much because I’ve many problems to concentrate, anyway, what I’ve been able to read I’m enjoyed, so that’s good, I hope to get back on track soon and finish a couple of books more.
Today I bring you a new post where I’ll show you all the books that I’m dying to read again. You know I always love to go back to those worlds that have made me so happy once and see my favorite characters all over again, I feel that there’s something very magical in re-reading books so I strongly support doing it. My new books hate me for this but what can I do?, I’m just a simple human being. 😅
I’ve read several of my favorite books already this year, but even so, there are some more that I would love to re-read at some time and this is that definitive list!. I hope you enjoy it and as always, let me know in the comments everything you think about re-readings! & Let’s start! 🌿 Read More »
