| Review | Heartless | Marissa Meyer

I’ve read Heartless a few months back and honestly never thought of reviewing it but because of this crazy challenge I’m doing with Presa Nas Palavras, I will need to share my opinion on every book I read this year, so…

 Here we go.

| Review | A Reaper At The Gates | Sabaa Tahir

Before we proceed, if you have an Instagram you need to go and follow Sabaa Tahir because she’s the best. Seriously, stop reading, go there and then come back.

Now that you’ve done that, and your life is much better, we can proceed. Be aware that A Reaper at the Gates is the third instalment of the An Ember in the Ashes saga so this review will contain spoiler for the first two books.

| Review | Beastly Bones | William Ritter

*A copy of this book was kindly provided by the publisher*

Hello book-nerds! How are you?

I'm sure you've all heard about this book, either good or bad, it kind of exploded all over the internet a few weeks ago.

As always, I'm late to the party, but well, here's my thoughts on this novel!

| Review | A Quiet Kinda of Thunder | Sara Barnard

Hello book-nerds!
No, you're not crazy! I am making two post in a row! And today we'll be talking about a book that's very dear to me.

Trying Manga

I'm sooooo sorry for taking so long to come back!
I was so focused on finishing my second book that I wrote the books but totally forgot to post them!
I will try to do better now that the book is finally finished! Promise!

| Review | Phoenix Fire | S. D. Grimm

Today I'm bringing you a different sort of review!

While these are still my thoughts and opinions that have in no way been influenced by the free ebook, this post is part of a Blog Tour organised by Entangled Teen who I thank for this copy ;) 

Go ahead and find more about this book!

| Review | Eternal Darkness | J. F. Johns

Hello book-nerds! How are you today?
I'm very sorry for the lack of post, I'm very busy with writing and college so reading time is a little limited! Please don't give up! I'll be trying to be better. Promise.

Today I'm bringing you my opinion on an awesome sci-fi book so if you're a science fiction fan check this review below!

| Review | Second Book on my CoHo's journey

As promised, here's my thoughts on my second book by Colleen Hoover.
Quick reminder that I first read Ugly Love which I enjoyed but didn't find amazing. And then went to Confess. Why? Because I'm on a quest to understand why the internet loves Colleen Hoover's books so much!

Review | Ugly Love | Colleen Hoover

Everyone knows Collen Hoover, even if you’ve never read a book by her you know who she is because her books break the internet. 

And I needed to know why? Are her books that good? 

*ratings on Goodreads are extremely high*

I dove into her books by ratings and synopsis on Goodreads. When I picked Ugly Love it was the book with the lowest rating from the ones I found interesting.

And so my adventure began.

Review | The Three Musketeers | Guerra e Paz

A book that is crazy for a person that’s never been sane.

Review | Crown of Ice | Vicki L. Weavil

I’d like to thank the author for kindly sending me a copy of this book.

It took me so much time to get into this book and then it was over and what will I read next? (I already have the next one so, that might be a good idea ;p)

Review - Koldbrann: Part 1 - Rebeldes by Ana Dâmaso

Best. Sci-Fi. Book. I’ve. Read. In. A. Long. Time.

I don’t only read fantasy, though it may seem like it sometimes. I love sci-fi books but for some reason I don’t get to read it as often as I’d like! I wonder why…?

First Portuguese science fiction book I think I’ve read. Do you guys know any? I want to read more sci-fi and if it’s Portuguese even better!

Koldbrann’s a Portuguese book by Cláudia Dâmaso, I was given a copy of this book by Chiado Editora.

Review - Punishment Summer by Peggy Rothschild

My life is so crazy I have time for nothing and end up doing nothing. 

One thing I try to do though, is keep reading even if only handfull of pages a day.

What an extraordinary book!

Review - Reconciliation by Amy Brock McNew

If you’ve been following us for a while you know I love the first book of this series Rebirth.

I’m always surprised how this author gets me to love a book so entwined with religion. Don’t take me wrong, I have nothing against any religion but I am not a religious person. If there’s ever been a prove a book is good there you have it: making me read and love something with religion!

Yahp that’s it. Review time over. No need to say more.

>> seriously though click below to see my actual opinion <<

Review - A Curse of Ash and Iron by Christine Norris

Hey guys? How are you?

I'm finally getting my reading done and I'm so excited to talk to you about some of them!

Review - Ponto sem Retorno (The Point of no Return) by Gabriela Simões

Hi guys, how are you?

So today’s post won’t just be my thoughts on The Point of no Return it will be about my thoughts on Portuguese writing.

I’m a Portuguese writer so this is a theme that touches me very deeply. I’m a strong believer of supporting what is ours before reaching beyond borders. I try to do that, the only books I buy in Portuguese are the ones written by Portuguese people. (HERE ME PUBLISHERS: I WILL NOT SUPPORT YOUR TRANSLATING BUSINESS!!)

But I’m also the first to criticise our material. Listen, we have so little opportunities, how can we afford for the ones we get to be disappointing? How can we afford not to accept critics from other people when those are the ones that will help us grow?

I see so many bad material out there that it pains me – physically pains me – to think someone might read it and think of that as an example of Portuguese literature.

This is to say I am extra hard on Portuguese books, I will scrutinize every detail of the book and find every little thing that should be correct and I will tell you, so that the author may grow. And listen, I do this to myself, I have friends with the ‘job’ to make that with me, to question every single move on my book, to criticize every little imperfection. And hey! It’s not enough. It will never be enough. Because it will never be perfect. But it needs to be as close as possible.

So I’m authors, if I sometimes come off as a ‘’know it all’’, it’s really not my intention. I’ve made most of those mistakes – I even do some of them – but I feel like it is my duty as a reviewer and a writer and a Portuguese person to try to help, as best as I can.

I’m sorry if that hurts, it has hurt me too. But in the end, you like it or not – it will help you.

I’m sorry for this ramble, I’ve just felt like I really needed to take this off my chest. It is not address to anyone in particular but feel free to let me know your thoughts on the comments.
