September Book Haul & Wrap Up + October TBR + Favourites from the Third Quarter of the Year
Hey guys!
Another month is over and here I am.
Today is going to be a very long post as I will be doing a Book Haul, a Wrap
Up, a TBR and finally I will tell you which ones are my favourite books from
the third quarter of the year.
So, without further ado let´s jump
right into the post.
Book Haul
This month I have received many
review books by Spanish authors. Those that have a review will appear on read
to you so in case you are interested just click. Please notice, that those
books as well as their review are in Spanish and will only be published in
Spanish, at least in the short term.
El largo invierno del corazón by Manuel Pérez Recio
This book was given to me by the author
to review. It´s a thriller like the Cuco’s Calling. I will tell you more of my thoughts
in the Wrap Up part of this post.
Hijos del Destino. EL legado de Darena by R.M. Madera
This is a fantasy book that was also
given me for the author in exchange of an honest review. I will talk in further
detail about this book in the Wrap Up part of this post.
Arena Roja ded Gema Bonnin
This book is the one that Noe and I
chose to read in April for our monthly book club. I bought it on one of my
latest trips to my local book store. It was one of the few that I didn’t have
and you know I bought it just because. I think it has female gladiator but
don’t quote on that one cause I am not sure.
The Obelisk Gate by N.K. Jemisin
On the same trip to the book store
that I used to purchase the previous book I bought this one. I know that I
still have the first book in the series and haven’t read it yet. But it was
just 8 euros and in that way if I want to marathon books 1 and 2 I can.
Tales by Oscar Wilde
There is a Spanish publisher company
that has a basic collection of classic, like the Penguin English Library but
way cheaper. I am in love with these books not only because it´s price but also
because its covers.
The Assassin´s Blade by Sarah J.Maas
These was the only book that I
haven’t own written by Sarah J.Maas at the moment that I bought it. This is the
bind up of all the prequel novellas of the Throne of Glass series. I will talk
in further detail about this book in the next part of this post.
Ocean´s Fire by Sacey Tucker
I received this ARC from NetGalley in
exchange of an honest review. I have already read this book and I will be
talking a little bit more about this in the Wrap Up.
Children of Daedala by Caighlan Smith
I requested this book for review via
NetGalley and the publisher was kind enough to provide with a copy. It´s a
fantasy book that will come out next April. I will read it and when the publishing
date is closer I will post my review.
The Raven Boys by Maggie Stiefvater
I´ve been hearing about this book for
the longest time. I saw it on my favourite library and it was for a very good
price. I know very few about this book and I want that to stay in that way
cause as you guys know if you´ve been here for a while I like to go into books
knowing as few as possible.
I met the author because he is one of
the workers in my favourite book store. He told me he was an author and told me
a bit about the book. I bought it and read it. I will tell you all my thought
on it in the Wrap Up.
La última habitación by Carlos Navas
This book was given to me by the
author in exchange of an honest review. This book was good. Is a thriller and
as I have already read it, I will tell you more on my Wrap Up.
Tower of Dawn by Sarah J.Maas
I saw this was a novella about Chaol
and if you know me at all you know that I am trash for this guy. I need to read
it, as soon as I have read all the books from Heir of Fire on.
Warbringer by Leigh Bardugo
This book has two things that I love:
Wonderwoman and Leigh Bardugo. Do I need to say anything else?
A Poison Dark and Drowing by Jessica
Cluess
I read the first book in this trilogy
and completely felt in love with the story. I was lucky enough to discover that
the second one was coming out this month. I have it and I have read it already
so I will tell you more in the Wrap Up.
Lud-in-the-Mist by Hope Mirrlees
If you don’t know this about me, you
probably don´t know me, but I like to research books. I found that a Spanish
publisher company was re-editing it and I asked for a copy. They were kind
enough to send me a copy.
El Jardín de Sonoko by David Crespo
This book looked so pretty so I asked
a copy to Penguin Spain and they send it to me. It just arrived on Friday so I have
read it yet but I am very much looking forward to it.
Wrap Up
As usual if there is a review for any
of the books that I am talking about it will be linked on the title, the title
will appear in read. Also, As I have done quite a few interviews this month so
if the name of the author is written in red the interview is liked. If the
title of the book is in Spanish both the review and the interview are written
in Spanish as well.
I requested this book for review to
the Publisher and I am extremely happy I did so. It´s a fantasy book that makes
us want to reread Harry Potter once more. I gave this book 4 out 5 stars.
A Shadow Bright and Burning by
Jessica Cluess
I absolutely loved this book once I
passed the first 50 pages. I think I don’t need much to convince you to read
it: witches, sorcerers, magicians, feminism and Victorian London. Do you need
anything else to read it? I gave it 4.5 out of 5 stars.
This book has been in my TBR since
June when the author gifted me a copy. IT´s a very interesting story in which
we follow a cat that while telling his story tells us the history of Madrid, my
city. I gave it 3 out of 5 stars.
Select by Marit Wiesenberg
I received an ARC of this book back
in May and I was very much looking forward to reading it but I postponed reading
it because the publication date was very far away. Finally, this moth I read it
and I like it. It´s a mix between Twilight and Shadowhunters but it´s able to
stand of its own. You will have my full review tomorrow. Now know that I gave
it 3 out of 5 stars.
Aaru by David Meredith
The author contacted with me back in
august and asked me to review this book I agreed because it seemed like
something I would really enjoyed. This book is a syfy in which we follow a girl
with cancer that in order to save her life must put her conscience inside of a
computer. Unfortunately, I didn’t like it. Is a story very focus in the
characters and as I didn’t like any it was hard to read. I gave it 1 out of 5
stars.
El largo invierno del corazón by
Manuel Pérez Recio
As I have told you earlier this is a
book that was sent to me for review by the author. This book is quite similar
to the Cuco’s calling by Robert Galbraith with one tiny difference, this I
liked and the one by Robert Galbraith I did not. I gave this book 3 out of 5
stars
Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo
How haven’t I read this book before?
I don’t know but I absolutely love it. I discover Leigh Bardugo thanks to Six
of Crows and now I am very much looking forward to reading every single book
that she has ever written or will ever write. This is the first book in the
Grisha trilogy and now I am very much looking forward to reading the other two
books in the trilogy. I gave this book 4 out of 5 stars.
The Name of the Wind by Patrick
Rothfuss
I think by now you guys know that
this is my favourite book. And I know that I have already read it this year but
it was the book that Noe and I chose for our book club so I read it again. I
will post a review in English in the future, but if you want you can check my
Spanish review that is linked as usual in the title. I gave this book 5 out of
5 stars.
This book is completely amazing. I
love it because it´s a thriller in which we follow a hitman that finds himself
involve in the assassination attempt of one prime minister. It´s very short but
it´s written in such a way that you cannot help but fell in love with the
writing. I gave this book 4.5 out of 5 stars.
Hijos del Destino. El legado de Darena by R.M. Madera
As I have already said on the book
haul this book was given to me for review by the author. Unfortunately, I did
not like it despite being a fantasy book. I ended up giving it 1 out of 5
stars.
La última habitación by Carlos Navas
This book was also send to me for
review by the author. It´s that kind of read that is perfect for the fall and
mostly for Halloween. Is a mystery that is told mostly in phone calls. I gave
it 3.5 out of 5 stars.
City of Bones by Cassadra Clare
This book is the one that I had to
read this month for the Mundane Book Club, in which we are reading in publication
order all the books in the Shadowhunter Chronicles. This month we read City of
Bones and I have like it very much. I gave it 3.5 out of 5 stars.
The Assassin´s Blade by Sarah J.Maas
This is the collection of all the prequel
novellas of the Throne of Glass series. There have been some that I have really
enjoyed and some that I haven’t like as much. Overall, I gave this book 4.1 out
of 5 stars.
A Poison Dark and Drowning by Jessica
Cluess
This book is the second instalment in
the A Shadow Bright and Burning Trilogy and I have love this one even more than
the first. I mean I have read 2 books by the same author in a month, that is
something considering I don’t usually do it. Overall, I gave this book 5 out of
5 stars and you can wait for my review very soon.
TBR
I am not quite sure in what mood I´ll
be this month so I will only tell you about the books I am sure I will be
reading:
Caraval by Stephanie Garber
This is the book that Noe and I have chosen
to read this month in our book club. I´ve be told that if you liked The Night Circus
you will like this one and I loved The Night Circus so we shall see.
City of Ashes by Cassandra Clare
This is the book that we will be
reading in the Mundane Book club this month.
Favourites from the Third Quarter of the Year
The truth is that with very few
exceptions I have read quite a few amazing books. Narrowing down this list to
just 5 was kind of impossible so I have cheated a little bit.
My top 5, in no particular order is:
Uprooted by Naomi Novick
A Shadow Bright and Burning and A
Poison Dark and Drowning by Jessica Cluees (these books are part of the same
story so technically is not cheating)
Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo
That was all for today. Will you recommend
any book to me? What have been your favourite books? What have been your
favourites of this quarter? What have you read this month?
See you all next Monday.
