Had me by the cover

Have you ever loved a book cover so much that you had to get it - forget what's within, it was the cover that sold you on the book.
I've had a few experiences with those thoughts, and some of them have brought me to amazing worlds, while others were big disappointments.
Today I'm walking you through my TOP 3 books I bought - or wanted too, mainly because of the cover.

Revelação da Capa de Fénix |PT|

Olá pessoal!!! Hoje trago-vos uma publicação muito especial! São novidades fresquinhas e algo pelo qual os leitores da trilogia Broken esperavam desde que foi anunciado o novo livro, Fénix!

Fénix é o segundo livro da trilogia Broken, da nossa querida Tânia Dias! Vai ser publicado pela Chiado Books em novembro de 2018.

Para quem não conhece a Tânia, ela começou a escrever jovem, escrava da mente criativa, com 16 anos pôs a pasta às costas e lançou-se na aventura de uma vida ao lado das personagens que lhe faziam companhia há mais de cinco anos.

Agora com 20 e a estudar Biologia na Faculdade de Ciência do Porto, muito dificilmente é encontrada na rua. Ou está de bata, a fitar confusamente um gel de agarose enquanto se pergunta repetidamente porque é que tinha de se apaixonar por algo tão difícil, ou está a viajar, às vezes com dragões, outras com super-heróis, a viver uma aventura enquanto procura fugir das pressões da sua outra paixão.

Dividida entre o laboratório e as páginas dos livros, ainda não decidiu se quer salvar (com a ciência) ou destruir (com a literatura) o mundo.

Estreou-se no mundo da escrita com Despedaça, o primeiro livro da trilogia Broken.  

Tv Show Recomendation!

Hello book nerds, today I decided to be a little different and instead of telling you about a book I adore and that you should read, I'd tell you about my all time favourite show.
Which is... *drum roll*
Doctor who!!!

`Doctor Who' is a classic science-fiction programme with a cult following. The Doctor is called a `Time Lord', a time-travelling scientist from a far off planet, who travels through time and space in a shop known by the acronym TARDIS. A TARDIS is a machine that is larger on the inside than the outside and is supposed to change its appearance based on its surroundings. The Doctor is also able to evolve his biology, so he appears as many different people throughout the series. The Doctor loves Earth, so he makes many trips here to save the planet, or to enlist earthlings to help him with tasks in the galaxy.

This show addresses all time of problems, while not boring the audience. It's a family show that thrives on breaking barriers, either including the audience in the episode (there are episodes that you watching changes how things unfold), or touching subjects you wouldn't otherwise contemplate.

I think the biggest, most important lesson this show has taught me is that it's okay to be goofy, to prefer to dream and not to have your feet on the earth. It's okay to be you even when it means you'll sometimes get hurt, because that life, and there will always be people who you'll fit with you and you with them.

That's all for today, I couldn't possible convey all my love for this show in words, there's simply not enough letters in the alphabet for me to do it. So let me know in the comments if you've seen Doctor Who, if so, we can be friends. If not, go way, I don't like you, ~ joking guys, I love you all ~

| Review | The Deal | Ellen Kennedy

Hello book-nerds!

It's day 18, my internership has begun, college has begun, and I'm still here. I'm so proud!!
So I've recently been forced to read The Deal - I'm talking about you Mad! - and I fell completly in love with the characters.

I made the mistake of starting it at night and... let's say I only slept 5 hours that night...

Totally not my fault, it's Mads fault.

| Book Recommendation | Illuminae Files

Synopsis: 

This morning, Kady thought breaking up with Ezra was the hardest thing she’d have to do. This afternoon, her planet was invaded.

The year is 2575, and two rival megacorporations are at war over a planet that’s little more than an ice-covered speck at the edge of the universe. Too bad nobody thought to warn the people living on it. With enemy fire raining down on them, Kady and Ezra—who are barely even talking to each other—are forced to fight their way onto an evacuating fleet, with an enemy warship in hot pursuit.

But their problems are just getting started. A deadly plague has broken out and is mutating, with terrifying results; the fleet's AI, which should be protecting them, may actually be their enemy; and nobody in charge will say what’s really going on. As Kady hacks into a tangled web of data to find the truth, it's clear only one person can help her bring it all to light: the ex-boyfriend she swore she'd never speak to again.

This book is told in the form of files and while I was a bit reticent, because I was sure there was no way I was going to get into those characters. I have to be honest and admit i absolutely LOVED this book.

It takes a little while for you to get used to this peculiar format you are just completely sucked into it. Just so you know, I read 499 pages of this book in one-sitting. 

The graphics, the characters, the plot.... It's so creative and simply amazing.

Honestly, give it a try. But maybe buy the paperback, because the hardback is way too expensive > .<
