I finished reading my first book in French!

Marine A un Secret (Lire Et S'Entrainer) (French Edition)Marine A un Secret (Lire Et S'Entrainer) by Margarita Barberá
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I have finished reading my first book in French!

I read this for my French language class, as suggested by my teacher.

It was entertaining even though it was a simple middle-grade book. The story of Marine was simple but fun to read.

Feels great to have faced the challenge of reading my first book in French, and now I'm ready to read more books in French.

My 5 Favorite Books of 2022

Image
Hello, everybody! If you are reading this, thank you so much for being here. 2022 was a fantastic year when my life changed for the best. After spending 2020 and 2021 in the biggest reading slump of my life, where I read zero books in two years, I decided to bring back reading to my life, as a central activity, given that it is something I have always loved and cherished. I have a Degree in Literature, which should mean that I read many books, but that was different. Taking the degree took a toll on me. My views about literature and reading sent me far away from what initially drove me to read. I just wanted to read for fun when I started, and that’s what I was missing at the university. I felt like I had to read “real literature” and hard books that were not easy to understand without wasting time to have fun with the books I liked. There were so many things in that experience that I had to get over to get back to reading just for fun. After two years in a reading slump, I bought a fe...

I read A Magic Steeped in Poison by Judy I. Lin

A Magic Steeped in Poison by Judy I. Lin My rating: 4 of 5 stars I heard about this book a while ago as a book that had a magic system based on tea. I love tea and magic systems, so I had to check it out. There are wonderful descriptions of teas and food. The plot is slightly generic, but the element of tea really makes the book stand out. I will be reading the second book eventually, but plot-wise, I do not feel absolutely compelled to continue. I loved the vibes though, the whole interaction in the kitchens, all the tea and stuff. I will be giving 3.75 stars to be accurate. View all my reviews

I read Godkiller by Hannah Kaner and it was not a big deal!

Godkiller by Hannah Kaner My rating: 2 of 5 stars I finished reading Godkiller and wish I had liked it more. Unfortunately, for me, everything was really flat. The story occurs in a world where a king has banned gods, and some Godkillers chase and kill them by request. A girl is inexplicably bound to a small god and our Godkiller character is now afraid to kill the god which could end up destroying the girl. They end up going on a journey to a lost city where wild gods still roam to try to find a solution to this problem, and a knight who fought in the old battle that ended up banning the gods joins them along the way, with his own intention to save the king. The pace felt really awkward for me, everything moved too slowly or too fast at times. The plot was somewhat boring, the bit of romance was just atrocious. I read it because I made a poll on my bookstagram and this book got the most votes. I'd love to hear from the people who enjoyed this book to know more about what was th...
