ReadathonByZoe Round #5

Hey readers, how you doing?
Today I'm here to share with you how was my reading progress in the ReadathonByZoe Round #5.
For these ones who live under a rock and don't know about this Readathon, ReadathonByZoe it's a 24 hour readathon hosted by Zoe from ReadByZoe.
In this round there was no theme, so we could read whatever we wanted.

Now, let's move on with the wrap up.

We should all be feminist by Chimamanda Ngozi was the first book I read.
This was a re-read and I love it even more than I do the first time.
It's simply amazing.
I also listen to the TED talk and I love it too.
5 out of 5 stars on Goodreads.

The next book was Openly Straight by Bill Konigsberg.
I really like the story.
I think the word that defines it is REALISTIC.
But it wasn't the amazingly heart-cored story which will make me cry the heck out of me and don't want to talk to anyone for weeks.
I'm pretty sure the hype ruined it a little bit for me...
But it's still pretty good.
By the way, I listened to the audibook and the narrator did a great job.
3.5 out of 5 on Goodreads. 
 
And the last book I read was Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban by J.K.Rowling.
What can I say about this book?
I love every page of this masterpiece. It's one of my favorites books in the Harry Potter world and re-read it for the readathon was the best decision I could have take.
The reencounter with Sirius and Lupin was amazing, and I'll be definitely still re-reading the rest of the saga (for the 11th time I think.. hahahaha, but it feels like the first time everytime I read it)
It's crystal clear that this is a 10 out of 5 on Goodreads. 
 

And this has been all for today.
I hope you like this post.

See you soon :)

Truly Devious, Maureen Johnson

Ellingham Academy is a famous private school in Vermont for the brightest thinkers, inventors, and artists. It was founded by Albert Ellingham, an early twentieth century tycoon, who wanted to make a wonderful place full of riddles, twisting pathways, and gardens. "A place" he said, "where learning is a game."
Shortly after the school opened, his wife and daughter were kidnapped. The only real clue was a mocking riddle listing methods of murder, signed with the frightening pseudonym, Truly Devious. It became one of the great unsolved crimes of American history.
True-crime aficionado Stevie Bell is set to begin her first year at Ellingham Academy, and she has an ambitious plan: She will solve this cold case. That is, she will solve the case when she gets a grip on her demanding new school life and her housemates: the inventor, the novelist, the actor, the artist, and the jokester. But something strange is happening. Truly Devious makes a surprise return, and death revisits Ellingham Academy. The past has crawled out of its grave. Someone has gotten away with murder.

Prohibido creer en historias de amor, Javier Ruescas

Cuando tienes 17 años y toda tu vida pasa en YouTube, llega un momento que ya no sabes quién eres. Eso es precisamente lo que le sucede a Cali: su familia tiene un canal con dos millones de seguidores y su novio es el youtuber más conocido del momento.
Por su parte, Héctor vive en una residencia de menores y lucha por averiguar de dónde proviene. Pero el único recuerdo que conserva de su pasado es una cinta de cassette con una canción que toca siempre en el metro esperando que algún día alguien la escuche y la reconozca.
Y ahí es donde se cruzan sus miradas.
Las vidas de ambos quedarán ligadas para siempre cuando descubran el origen de la canción, el póster de una película olvidada y un cine abandonado lleno de secretos… Todo sin romper la única norma que Héctor sigue a rajatabla: está prohibido creer en el amor

Hasta la próxima lectores :)

Hey readers, how you doing?
As I said in the Flash News post, the Emojiathon has begun.
This readathon is hosted by Dylan, Chelsea, Jay, and Brittany and takes place during the month of March.

Flash News

1. Mi challenge de Goodreads va bastante bien (voy dos libros por delante)
2. 2º de bachillerato me está quitando la vida, pero estoy haciendo todo lo que puedo para que tengais al menos dos posts todas las semanas.
3. El 3 de marzo participo en el 24h readathon hosted by Zoë from ReadByZoë
4. Hoy empieza el Emojiathon  en el que estaré participando durante el mes.
5. Y a partir de hoy en el blog habrá entradas tanto en español como en inglés (espero escribir todo bien..)
Ya me han comentado por instagram que no entienden por qué siendo española y hablando español tengo que escribir y hablar en inglés en el blog (¿soy la única que piensa que ese razonamiento es estúpido? Si no queréis leer un post en inglés no tenéis que hacerlo, no es obligatorio.
Y si os molesta y preferís dejar de seguirme por esto, adelante,  pero no voy a dejar de hacer lo que realmente quiero.
