My world as a book worm

Hey guys! I realised it has been a while and this happens as a cycle in my blogger life. Once I write a lot and then I am out of the web for a long period. Saying that I don't want to keep apologising, considering that I have a toddler that has more energy than I could ever imagine, and now, a puppy!!! So time is not a thing that I have a lot. However, I don't want to leave this space so I decided to change a little bit the entire blog idea. Why? You ask! Well, I haven't read consistently so, truthfully speaking I don't have much to write.  So, following what I am doing on Instagram (@myworldasabookworm ), I am going to share stuff from my lifestyle, the recipes I try to cook (just try... I do not do fancy stuff lol), tips and things and activities for kids. Although there is this big change I want to tell you that Books will always be my priority and I will write as many reviews as I can!!! Thanks a lot and hopefully you will enjoy this space...

Becoming By  Michelle Obama Published:   13th november 2018 Genre:  non fiction, autobiography Edition :  Audiobook Source:  Monthly subscription HOURS: 19.1h Pages:  426 My rating : 5/5  Goodreads rating : 4.65/5 Read:  2019 This was definetly one of the books of the year of 2018 that I really wanted to read. However, when I went to the book shop and saw such a big book I had my doubts that I would be reading it soon. But then, something happen! I made the decision of subscribe audiobooks from Kobo, to give it a try... and guess what? Found that this book is narrated no other than by Michelle Herself! So then I saw THE oportunity!  Why did I find it so fascinating? Being an autobiograpy narrated by the person herself I could feel the emotions during the reading. The good, the bad, the sad and the happy!  I couldn't stop listening to it until the book was finished.  The magic of audiobooks is that ...

Peppa Pig: Chinese New Year By  Neville Astley Published : 27th December 2018 Genre : Children Edition : Paperback Source : Bought Pages : 26 My Rating : 5/5 Goodreads rating : 5/5 Read : February 2019 This is another book from Peppa's collection. Read to my kid on Chinese New Year. Although he is still too young to understand these celebrations and to stay quiet while I'm reading it to you, it is always a good exercise.  What I liked the most is the colours of the book and the simple explanation for this celebration.  He once in a while would stay quiet and listen or just pay attention to the colours which made me happy hehe!

Hello, bookworms! After more than a month that I haven't stop here, I must say that if January is a month that lasts forever, February on the other hand just flies by. I have been so busy trying to find a house, working, being a mum and a wife and also reading on my spare time that I had no time to write about anything. However, I've been reading and soon I'll be posting my latest reviews! just be patient and keep following me on Instagram! The Book Worm

Hello guys! Every beginning of the year we are exposed to several reading challenges and it is difficult to decide which one to take. Last year I went overboard thinking that I would read tons since I was on mat leave. How wrong was I! However, I still managed to read quite a lot. This year I will only tell which challenges I am undertaking after February so I can filter which one really suits me! So far I have read 3 books that I have post the review and 3 more and on its way! I love when you guys give me some kind of feedback and for that I say THANKS!!! This is a space to share or just to read and tell. Not expecting becoming an influencer in books but for me writing about what I have read is becoming an important intellectual exercise. Great readings! The Book Worm

The onesies, fall By  Josie Brown Published:   16th August 2014 Genre: fiction, parenting Edition :  ebook Source:  free Pages:  202 My rating : 2/5  Goodreads rating : 3.26/5 Read:  2019 When I saw this book on Kobo for free I thought it would be a good light reading to have a laugh and see myself as a mother (something like the tv series The Let down). However, I felt super disappointed when I started reading but I gave it a shot not to start the year with a DNF book. What can I say? What was supposed to be a light reading started to feel a tough one because I didn't enjoy... Didn't see myself in the story and the whole argument was weak and I felt like not wanting to read more. Basically, this is a story about upper-middle-class people with kids that have an exclusive club for them and you need to prove that you and your kid deserve to be there. More than that, working mums are not seen as good members because...
