One Lovely Blog Award

one-lovely-blog

I was tagged by LaRonda @Flying Paperbacks and I just want to say thank you, because this really means a lot to me.

The Rules

  • Thank the person who nominated you.
  • Share 7 facts about yourself.
  • Nominate 15 bloggers and inform them of the nomination.

Now, the fact:

1) I really love food. I love to cook, I always try different recipes, and different dishes from all over the world. I watch a lot of Tv shows about food, like Man Vs. Food or Masterchef. Obviously I like to eat too!

2) I love animals, except snakes. Sorry, I’m afraid of snakes! Currently I have two pet rats, Mr. Jingle (Do you know where this name came from?) and Rexi, and a budgie, Coco.

3) I’m obsessed with a precisely period of time between 1886 and 1912, so I read books and watch tv series set in those years.

4) When I was little, my dream job was Paleontologist. But I don’t like desert. I still love dinosaurs. Dinosaurs are the best.

5) I travel a lot during summer, and my dream destination is everywhere I can watch the Northern Lights. And I want to do whale watching too.

6) I have several disease, neither one curable, so my life is pretty difficult, even if it doesn’t seem if you watch me from across the street, for example. I try my best every single day.

7) Michael Bublè and Josh Groban are my favourite singer.

Alice’s adventures Book Tag

This tag was made by Falling down the book hole for the Down the read – a – thon hole reading challenge.

Enjoy!

Alice in Wonderland:  A book that makes you think of your childhood.

Night of the living dummy by R.L. Stine. Yes I know, I was a creepy child.

Caucus Race: A book with a race or competition you enjoyed.  

Harry Potter and the Goblet of fire!

Through the Looking Glass: An Alice in Wonderland Retelling you have read or your favorite Alice retelling.

I just finished Curiouser and Curiouser by Melanie Karsak, but I didn’t like it. Alice in Zombieland is another retelling, but it was just meh.

Knave of Hearts:  A book about thieves

Otto Von Trapezoid and the Empress of thieves by Jesse Baruffi is hilarious!

White Rabbit:  A popular book you are late to the party for

The hate you give. I think I have the ebook, maybe I read it this year.

Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum: Your favorite sequel

The sands of time by Michael Hoeye, sequel of Time stops for no mouse.

Pool of Tears: A book that makes you cry

The lovely bones by Alice Sebold.

Caterpillar: A book in which the character reminds you of yourself

I’m currently reading Wonder and Auggie reminds me a little of myself. But also Bilbo Baggins reminds me of myself. I miss my books. And my armchair.

Mad Hatter:  A book with a love story 

Die Love Rise by my friend Rosa Campanile!

March Hare: A book dealing with a mental illness

Under Rose tainted skies deals with social anxiety and OCD.

The Dormouse:  An underrated/under-hyped book

“Eat Me” Cakes:  A book with a magical element

Poison Study by Maria V. Snyder.

Flowers of Wonderland:  A book that involves music

In I diari degli angeli by John Peter Sloan, Jesus is a rockstar. That counts, right?

Queen of Hearts:  A book with a villain 

The Darkling from Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo.

The Bandersnatch:  A book with a mystical creature

The Percy Jackson series is a good choice here.

Down The Rabbit Hole: A book someone else recommended to you

A ex friend of mine recommended me Dracula in Love by Karen Essex, a horrible retelling of Dracula. That’s (and other things too) why she’s no longer my friend.

Walrus & the Carpenter: A collection of essays, short stories or poems

Bones is the garden by McKayla Debonis is a collection of poems about a lost love and a broken heart.

The Jabberwocky: A book with a battle/fight scene

The Hobbit by Tolkien has a lot of fighting scene (the dragon, the spiders) and the battle of the five armies. *crying on the floor*

The Playing Cards: A book with a group of characters

A game of thrones by George R.R. Martin.

Tea Party: A book based in England/UK

I finished Rivers of London by Ben Aaronovitch, set in London, of course!

wrap up

January 2018 Wrap up

Hello! How’s everyone? Finally January has ended: between my health problems and other things this month for me was endless!

Here’s the first wrap up of this blog! I will put in here only the english books that I read, not the italian one.

A spark Unseen by Sharon Cameron: the worst book of the month. Only 1 star for me, due to a MC stupid and too much romance.

I hate zombies by Shantnu Tiwari: I DNF this book.

Reunion by John Hartness: good scary tale, but the ending is meh.

Poison Study by Maria V. Snyder: the best book of the month! Not a 5 star book only for the ending.

Leather Apron by Sylynt Storme: funny vampire/time traveler short story.

And you? What’s your best book of January?
