Went on a trip Well, guys, I am well aware that I have been a bit off this past two weeks. Not that I don't have any books to review, I do, but the time was less to write a proper review. The family has been keeping me very busy and getting time and energy even to read has been difficult. So, I decided that I am going on a trip for two days (with them as well!), by the seaside, and have some time off. Going today and coming back tomorrow. When I come back I will write the reviews that I am running late! Uff this month has been a challenge... and it is the shortest of the year! Story of my life with my kid! The Book Worm

New opportunities A new week and full of new possibilities! And to feel a bit better... this image that I saw in Goodreads Twitter and absolutely loved it! Love you guys! The Book Worm

New Books! This month I have one ebook that I already started reading and one Hardcover book that I bought.  Which ones?????? YES, I am really excited! 1. The Chalk Man by C. J. Tudor (ebook) 2. Anatomy of a Scandal by Sarah Vaughan I really want to read these two. In the meantime I am running late on the ARC's but reading needs to be enjoyable not a run! The Book Worm

The Bride has two faces By  Laura Briggs Published:  17th january 2012 Genre:  Romance Edition : Ebook Source:  Bought Pages:  121 My rating : 3/5  Goodreads rating : 3.89/5 Read:  Feb 2018 The Plot  After settling her own firm of event planner Gwen recruited Beatrice. She was working for a while in the firm and not happy for not having an opportunity to shine. Until one day that Gwen requested her to plan a wedding... And it was a friends' wedding. While the story goes she realises that this wedding is a much bigger challenge than what he was expecting. So many things at stake. One of the big rules of the firm is (ironically) not getting involved with clients and Bea finds out she knows the groom... and they were not just (good) friends back in university time. On the other hand, the bride seems to be much more than the typical Bridezilla trying to have the things she wants in her own way. She i...

A year of books By Foyles First I want to say loud and clear: No, I am not being paid for publicity with this post! (unfortunately, ahah) I decided to write this post after arriving from a long weekend. I was at a train station where there is a Foyles and, of course, could not control myself and decided to go in to see the new releases.  There, I bumped into this concept that I did not know that existed: I saw publicity of this Year of Books , from Foyles. And what is it? You ask. I will give you the answer. This is a pack of books that you can buy for yourself or anyone you love (and loves books). The person will receive a book every month, chosen by someone in Foyles, an original and new book, that you do not know which one is it. There are 7 different categories that you can choose as well as prices. You just need to pick the one that suits you the best. The categories are Hardback fiction, Paperback fiction, fiction in translation, Hardback n...
