Friday holiday, Goodreads and other fun stuff

As the title says, in my country it's a holiday today which means no work, no class I have all day to read and be lazy. Cheers to that!

Anyway It's 5 pm and I've just finished reading "The coincidence of Callie and Kayden". Amazing book if you ask me and I'm starting the sequel right now. I'll leave a link with my Goodreads review for you to check it out if you want.

Another thing I wanted to write about is Goodreads. I'm kinda addicted to it. I love the fact that you can share preferences, review books, comment other reviews, share thougths, quotes, passages of different books. You can add book you read in your childhood and find other people that also read them and maybe it means a lot to them too. You can join groups. I don't know, it's basically heaven. So here it's my Goodreads profile, if you want to befriend me go ahead, I accept everyone :)

Now I'll probably go clean my room a bit because it is a fucking mess. I don't have space to put all my trash so I'll have to do some magic tricks (?)

Hope you have a fun Friday!   

Fast Book Reviews: We were Liars by E. Lockhart

This is going to be a little different for one reason. If I tell you anything about this book I’m going to spoil it to you and the best thing you can do is read it without knowing what you are getting yourself into. Instead I’m going to share something that was on one of the first pages of the version of the book I’ve read and I seriously think it captured this need to not be spoiled perfectly. 

ENJOY:

Dear Colleagues,

It’s not often that I write a letter asking a reader to do this, but please trust me. I won’t tell you the plot of this book. It is better for you to just read it. Between the covers you will find:

the beautiful Sinclair family on a windswept private island,

four friends who are unconditionally loyal to one another,

a lot of witty banter,

and desperate true love.

Also …

family secrets,

a terrifying accident,

and many golden retrievers.

We Were Liars is a dazzler. It’s suspenseful, literary, and romantic. It’s a modern, mazelike suspense story from National Book Award finalist and Printz Award honoree E. Lockhart. You don’t need to know more. More would spoil it.

Read it.

I believe you’ll want to talk about this book with someone else who has read it. So read this ARC and give the duplicate to a friend, and let the conversation begin! Whatever you do, don’t spoil it for the people who haven’t read it yet.

And if anyone asks you how it ends, just LIE.

All my best,

Beverly Horowitz

Read this book. Please.

I'm leaving a link with my GoodReads full of spoilers review in case you want to read it. HERE it is!

Favorite Book Quote: “They know that tragedy is not glamorous. They know it doesn't play out in life as it does on a stage or between the pages of a book. It is neither a punishment meted out nor a lesson conferred. Its horrors are not attributable to one single person. Tragedy is ugly and tangled, stupid and confusing.” ― E. Lockhart, We Were Liars
