I‘m currently reading the tagged book. I haven‘t read much during the weekend, it has been quite busy😬But I read some books last week.

#WeekendReading @Andrew65

I finished today Shiver by Allie Reynolds.
I‘m reading the last chapters of A Winter‘s Promise and I will start today or tomorrow Where They Wait by Scott Carson,

#weekendreading @Andrew65

I think the subtitle resume very well the plot of this thriller without spoiling anything. It started as a reunion of five of seven “friends”?. But then, the reunion ended with murder. Why are they going to meet again after 10 years? Where? What happened with those two other friends. It was good but some situations were odd, maybe unbelievable, predictable, there were red flags in the first pages. Those characters were terrible human beings 3.4⭐️

Book read last week. I really liked this thriller. So many twists that I didn‘t predict. Those characters are the worse people in the world and yes, unfortunately, you can find people so selfish and sociopath (legal term) or antisocial (psychological term) like them. Oh yes! Go blind with this. 4.5⭐️ First novel I read about a person with prosopagnosia condition. Interesting what the author mentioned in her note about this condition.

Book read 1st week of January. Adam is having problems in his marriage and then a watch seller appears with a gift to go to his past and amend some decisions he made. A second chance love story. I liked some reflections that Adam made about his past, feelings and with relationships. But the story was repetitive and sometimes boring. I thought it would be funny, cheesy and cute. It turned that it was serious and did I mention boring? 3⭐️

Free title translation will be When you Look At Me. A gift from a friend who is a historical romance reader. Set in 1796, Miranda, a British woman, married an unknown man in America to avoid a “scandal” after her father committed suicide and a way to stabilize her financial situation. Her husband unexpectedly died and there is a confuse situation with Mr. Hamilton. A hate/love relationship, cheesy, funny, predictable. I really enjoyed it. 3.4⭐️

Read in 1st week of January. This was interesting thriller but quite predictable. But I was curious to see how it would end which was also predictable. But I liked it in general. 3.4⭐️

🧠 I really enjoy readings related with neuropsychology conditions, the effect in the human behavior and assessment. Also I enjoy topics related with psychopharmacology. Another nonfiction area I love to read about is forensic psychology.
🧠They are topic related with my discipline and past works. Looking for those deep, dark, unique personalities😳☺️The brain is something fascinating!
Thank you @Ddzmini 🥰

☃️Guilty🙋🏽‍♀️Well, I consciously know that a gorgeous cover not necessarily means that the content of a book is going to be good. But still, I‘m a book collector so I love, appreciate gorgeous covers.
☃️It depends, nature, a psychological suggestion, vintage items on the cover, colors.

Thank you @EadieB 🥰

❄️Tagged book is not the favorite but I enjoyed it in general in 2021.
❄️Personal goal-more time with family. But I also want to do some things in the house, at least start this year; participate in more sport events; and read more. Sorry, the question indicates one goal but I need these goals together for my inner balance🧘🏽‍♀️
❄️I completed some errands on time since tomorrow is a holiday here in PR, Tres Reyes Magos (Three Wise Kings Day).

Here are my best #12Booksof2021 but they are not by month. The first 12 books were my favorites but I read 133 books so included other books that I really loved this year. But those books that were part of a duology or series, I counted them as one😜 I can say that it was a good reading year, I enjoyed most of the books I read📚📚📚🤗

@Andrew65

It didn‘t show as I wanted😬but my intention was:
Numbers from 1 to 10-books set in winter
Numbers 11-12 books that are sequels
Numbers 13-14 first book in 2 different series
Numbers 15-16 Books in Spanish language (includes translated to Spanish)
Number 17 Buzzword for January -any title that has any of these words: how, when, why, who, where, what
Numbers 18-20 books from my old tbr
Trying to be flexible to see if I can read more🤷🏽‍♀️

My main goal this year 2022 is basically to complete those series that I already started and read more books that I already own, that includes nonfiction, classics and series. Another goal, to enjoy every book and time I spend reading. At least I want to read 52 books.
📖 😍 ☕️

In 2021, I had 9 reading goals but I only accomplished 4😳(1) Read more than 52 books; 2)completed started series-5 of 4)
3) I participated in more than 3 readathons; 4)Read more books received in swaps or from my tbr). However, I read 27 books more in comparison to year 2020. Conclusion, less goals more reading. I will continue with these 4 goals that apparently helped me to read more books. But I want to read more classics and nonfiction. I

I read 12 books this month. I enjoyed so much the books set during the holiday season with the exception of the horror Novella. They were cute in general! They were adorable. I also liked All of Us Villains and The Bear and the Nightingale.
No bingos but I eran #BookSpin and #DoubleSpin books

#BookSpinBingo @TheAromaOfBooks

Last book read in 2021 for #20in4 @Andrew65 A lovely story set in winter and about Valsya, a witch. I loved how the human world intertwined with this magical world. This book motivates me to look more about Russian folklore. Any recommendations? 4⭐️

#BookSpinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

What a beautiful way to start a new year for a book lover!! I opened today the #Bestof2021Swap boxes and looked what was inside? A treasure! 📦 😱Let‘s see what was inside! 🤔

@guinsgirlreads @Candority

A new year...
New opportunities...
A new beginning...

Happy New Year 2022 to my wonderful, supportive reading community, friends!
🎉🎊🥂🍾
My first wish to all of you in this new year: Health!
Cheers! Salud! 🍷

But also, harmony, peace, prosperity and many more books to read and to share📚📚📚🙌🥰

These are the stories of some of the saints mentioned in the world of Grisha. Some stories are so interesting, others for me were forced, no sense at all, but this is an unpopular opinion. The illustrations were amazing, beautiful, stunning. The book per se is so pretty, so “elegant” if I can use that adjective to describe it☺️It is well done, a high quality book. For that reason I‘m going to assigned a pick 3⭐️But the content for me was so-so

These are some tales set in the Grisha world. They are inspired by myths, folklore and fairytales. I can say that I liked some of them. I liked the author‘s writing style, it kept me motivated to read in a faster pace. But I found some stories where the end was like forced without a meaningful end. This is an unpopular opinion. 3⭐️

Dec 2021 #BookSpinBingo @TheAromaOfBooks

If you liked Hunger Games, you probably will like this novel where the concept is similar. A tournament to obtain exclusive control of high magick. Seven champions will compete but only one is expected to survive. Who are these families, how they choose their champions? How is the tournament? The novel is dark and gory with some YA attraction since there is no romance per se. I really enjoyed it. Waiting for the sequel. 3.8/4⭐️

🌲 I have enjoyed most of the holiday books I have read this month. But until now, I think I enjoyed more All of Us Villains. I think I will
Like The Bear and the Nightingale.
🌲I‘m looking to spend more time with family; I want to do some arrangements in the house (including bookshelves); I want to continue participating in sport activities; and I will love to read more📚📚📚🙌

Thank you @TheSpineView for the tag

❄️I‘m trying to finish these books before Dec 31: The Language of Thorns; The Lives of Daints (these two are for my book club to finish the Grisha series by Leigh Bardugo); and The Bear and the Nightingale.
❄️Various hallmark/Disney Christmas movies, Narnia, the winter season in Harry Potter movies and yes I liked National Lampoon movie. I want to watch A Boy Called Christmas

Thank you @kamoorephoto for tagged me🥰

This is my #MyNewYearWhoDis2022 books selection from books read by my match @sharread 📚🤗I‘m planning to read more books from her Litsy “pick👍 books list, but these are the first ones I‘m planning to read soon. I chose books that I already own so I can continue reducing my tbr pile of books. But there are other books that @sharread has in her wish list that I‘m interested to read, maybe we can buddy-read at least one book in 2022📖🤗
@monalysha

This was promising at the beginning. The horror scenes were well described, spooky and creepy. Unfortunately, the plot seemed incomplete. You don‘t know the purpose of the presence of these ghosts/demons. The story began someone telling the story to others and that part never closed, why he was telling the story, what was the purpose. It seems the author has strong religious believes because everything was resolved by praying.2⭐️Almost a pan

I have mixed feelings with this book. It is very predictable and I think was too long with repetitive of unnecessary details. Also I didn‘t like much Matt with his explosive character where he easily offended Kate twice. But besides those comments, the novel was so funny: Kate‘s mom😳🙄, her dates😆her relationship with Laura, the town gossips☺️At least in those blind dates there were staff present in their first date😅. Love Drew! 34⭐️

Feliz Navidad! If you celebrate this holiday, have a happy, joyful, peaceful day with your family, friends or yourself. If you don‘t celebrate it, it is a good day to enjoy your reading time.

A big hug to Litsy friends!😘💚❤️💙❤️💚

@Candoriy

I finished four books during #DashingDecember Readathon @Andrew65
Books:
10 Blind Dates
Home for the holidays
Jingle all the Slay
The Christmas Swap
All of them were simple but enjoyable, perfect for the season. @Andrew65

This story sounds like a YA book. Two families decide to swap their houses, one in Colorado, the other one in Arizona.Someone will stay in one of the houses but decides to do it in incognito and the confusion starts. It was ok maybe so-so but I also enjoyed this one. Very predictable with happy ending, like a simple hallmark movie. 3⭐️ #DashingDecember @Andrew65
#BookSpinBingo @TheAromaOfBooks Thank you @mabell for the book

A cozy witchy holiday mystery. First book in a series. It was ok maybe so-so but I enjoyed it. Halliday, is a witch who return to Marshmallow Hollow town after she inherited a Christmas decoration factory. Her magic not always goes well but she has help from a hummingbird and a reindeer, who can talk and a cat. Only one person in town knows she is a witch. Sounds silly but it was funny, specially at the end when she try to resolve a murder case3⭐️

Three sisters receive a letter from her aunt, who they haven‘t seen for years due to what happened between their mother and this aunt. No one knows what happened. Aunt Sassy said that she wanted to spend her last Christmas with them. This is about family drama, family secrets, love second chances. Predictable, simple with happy ending. Perfect for my holiday hallmark mood🎄☺️3⭐️

Today was my sprint triathlon. I‘m officially a finisher and survivor😆don‘t ask how much time it took me to finish it (for ever I think I was the last one in the swimming part😳). It was done and I have my medal🙌 I need to read the tagged book for future events🤣I‘m the one in the middle of those swimmers. Now, I need to relax and read.

Today the #LittleChristmasSwap box arrived but I don‘t know my match Litsy name. Thank you!! Now wait until January🤗

@bookish_wookish

I saw @thegirlwiththelibrarybag post about her visit to Beyond Van Gogh The Immersive Experience. We had it too here in PR. I don‘t know if it still on but I visited it last week. It was something simple but beautiful at least for me. Great for photos! Me trying to pretend I was kissing a young Van Gogh 😘☺️

#Best2021Swap and #Jolabokaflod boxes were sent today. It took forever for me to receive the books so I could send the boxes. There are books no available in our local bookstores. They arrive yesterday late in the afternoon. I‘m still waiting for a book but it is not for a swap. I have the tracking numbers and boxes are expecting to arrive next Wednesday. 🤗

📖Meet the author, in that way I can understand better my fave character
📖I will continue buying books because I‘m a collector (not a book hoarder😜) but that‘s why I keep my fav books, to re-read them someday, when? 🤷🏽‍♀️
📖Both
📖More fantasy but I like some romance sometimes
📖Enemies to lovers
📖Both but I like to buy books

🎄I will say thrillers/mysteries but who master those genres? I don‘t know because I have enjoyed books from different authors and not necessarily all the books from one particular author.
🎄🎄At least this year, I haven‘t finish some books due to lack of time but I wanted so badly to finish The Count If Montecristo☹️
🎄🎄🎄Today, I could be at home relax and spent good hours readings📚🤗
