Hello dear Readers,
This is my May 2015 Wrap-Up.
I read a total of four physical books, two Graphic Novels, one Audio book and three e-books, two of them are ARC copies I received from Netgalley, in exchange for an honest review.
Overall, it was a great reading month. I only read two books from my original TBR List for May. The rest of the books are ones that I just felt I wanted and needed to read.
Title: Me before you
Me before You by Jojo Moyes. This book made me cry a lot but I loved it. Has a great message. I did a full review of it on a previous post, if you like to read it.
Allegiant by Veronica Roth, the third book on the Divergent Series. This book has an unexpected and sad ending, but overall, I loved the Divergent Series.
David and Goliath by Malcolm Gladwell. I found the book interesting, you call tell the Author put a lot of effort on his research but it was not what I was expecting. It interested me enough to keep reading and finish it but not enough to love it.
Have you seen Marie? by Sandra Cisneros. After reading her book The House on Mango Street, which I liked a lot, I wanted to read more of her books. I found this one at the Library. A short book with beautiful Illustrations. Have You Seen Marie? Shows us the storytelling magic of Sandra Cisneros. This lyrically told, richly illustrated fable for adults is the tale of a woman’s search, in the wake of her mother’s death, for a missing cat—and a reminder that love, even when it goes astray, does not stay lost forever.
Letter to my Daughter by Maya Angelou. I listened to the Audiobook and I enjoyed it a lot. I still need to read another one of her books, I know why the caged bird sings. Looking forward to it.
Two ARC copies I received from Netgalley. Change of Heart by Jeanne Bipshop and Absolutely True Lies by Rachel Stuhler. I posted reviews of these two books here on my blog. If anyone interested on reading them, click on the previous posts. I liked both books, very different stories but fantastic and powerful ones.
I also read Graphic Novels. My first time reading this kind of book. A game of thrones. Volume One and The Night Mobile. I also have my thoughts on these two posted here on the blog. I had an amazing time reading Graphic Novels and I absolutely will read more in the near future.
Finally, my favorite book I read during the month of May, Un buen Hijo de P, by Ismael Cala. He is a very famous Cuban-American Journalist and TV Host, has a TV Show in CNN in Spanish called CALA, where he interviews TV personalities, Celebrities, Politicians, Musicians, Athletes. This book is a work of fiction, Inspirational, Self-Help type of book. I loved the story and the moral on it. I will be posting a full review of it in the next days.
