My world as a book worm

A new year and I am doing better already! Some changes at my place to improve (love decoration and DIY) and several books read already. Not a fan of quantity. I love to feel good about the books I read whether they are classics or excellent chic lit. I include in this list also the ones I read with my toddler. Reading is a fantastic habit and studies prove that helps the brain development if you start at a young age. Later during this month, I am publishing some reviews divided between "Adult reads" and "Children books". Here is the list (feel free to get inspired or telling me why you do not like some book). Let us open the conversation! January books for adults 1. Ser super mãe e uma treta, Susana Almeida 2. Don’ts for wives, Blanche ebbutte 3. The whole brain child, Daniel j. Siegel 4. Bizarre London: discover the capital’s secrets surprises, David long 5. The little Brooklyn bakery, Julie Caplin (ebook) 6. The little book of ...

Platform NetGalley While I was browsing and surfing in the web, I found this platform. Have you ever heard about it? I personally haven't. So, I decided to investigate further. Basically, NetGalley is a platform with the purpose of connect publishers, reviewers, book bloggers, parents, educators, media and booksellers all over the world. It offers digitally ARC's (Advanced Reading copies) in order to promote and help books to succeed. It works with publishers from US, UK, Canada, Australia and france to release new titles for this community. What do we have to do to be part of it? (or How does it work?) 1) Set up a free account (including all your media stuff like Blog, Goodreads, Twitter...). 2) Discover which new books you want to read. 3) Read the book digitally. They offer formats for different platforms. 4) Write review and share with them (and the world). 5) Enjoy being part of the community! Extra: And of course do...

Just for a bit of fun...  Do you reckon any of these characteristics? The Book Worm

2017 Book Survey Tag Another tag that I stole! Shame on me (or not : p ). Got from JessicaCrafts blog. This is a reflection of my readings (which were not the best last year) in 2017. Let's start! Reading Stats Books read : 24 Re-reads : 5 DnF : 6 (all started in 2017 and to be finished in 2018) Most read genre : Parenting Questionnaire 1. Best book you read in 2017 Looking back I realised that the best book I have read in 2017 was The Boy in Striped Pajamas by John Boyne.  It is emotional, historical and shows how kids can be so innocent and don't care about race, religion or anything. They just want to explore the world. 2. Books you were excited about and thought you would love but didn't Well... It is a mixed feeling. I love but I also don't love this one. I love because is part of a series that I have been following for 20 years. Didn't like because I felt a bit disappointed. Here it i...

The Book feels tag I know this kind of post usually you are nominated. However I am so new in this that I decided to copy Shaz reads and write this post here. Hope you enjoy my 2017 books! A book that made you smile or laugh Belly Laughs by Jenny McCarthy This year I started reading loads of books about pregnancy and babies. A baby on the way was the guilty one. Amongst what I read I absolutely found this book very funny. People may not like it much but when you are big and bored and feeling that only your belly exists... you absolutely love to read something like this. A book that made you sad or want to cry The boy in the striped pyjamas by John Boyne This is a very touching story that happens in the WW II and shows how kids are so innocent! A book that you love Fantastic Beasts and where to find them original screenplay by J. K. Rowling I don't particularly love it but regarding that its p...

On Christmas, I do not usually give many or expensive gifts. But my eyes get emotional anytime anyone gives me a book. This year was no exception. And for this year was not news the book I was getting but I simply love it. The drawings are fantastic! I totally recommend. I actually have another one on my list... Can you guess which one?

New year’s resolutions  1. Read more. 2. Finish all the books I have pending and I had already started to read. 3. Read all the books I bought and did not read yet. 4. Review the books here in the blog.

Hello to the blogosphere! I am just a Book Worm that loves to read everything and anything! After putting a lot of thought and be a huge fan of platforms like Goodreads, I decided to creat this space to share with you the books that I have read and maybe, who knows, start discussions about hot topics! The world is full of possibilities and I am open to suggestions to improve and make this platform 'Our' platform more than 'my platform". This is a kind of a modern book club... hope in the future to be able to have new reading challenges, blog challenges and who knows (now I am dreaming big) giveaways or even interviews! Let's dream big! Let's make this our live and active platform! Good readings! The Book Worm
