Hi everyone!
It’s been a long time since I posted a review both because of school and an annoying reading slump.
First of all thanks to NetGalley and the publishers for the digital copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Queen of Kenosha by Howard Shapiro

Genre: Graphic Novel, Music, History
Illustrations by Erica Chan
Publisher: Animal Media Group LLC
Expected publication:October 9th 2018
My rating:   3.75 out of 5
 

PLOT:A coming of age tale, this is the first installment of the Thin Thinline Trilogy, the fiercely independent Nina Overstreet has an axe to grind. A talented singer-songwriter slogging her way through the burgeoning Greenwich Village folk music scene of 1963, the Queen of Kenosha, Wisconsin, realizes that standing on the cusp of stardom gets her little respect and barely a cup of coffee in New York City. It finally comes, but in a way she could have never imagined. A chance encounter with the mysterious Nick Ladd at a late-night gig spins her life in a different direction–one that becomes a daily balance between life and death, right and wrong. Nick recruits Nina to join him and a team of ex-FBI operatives in a clandestine agency to stop the establishment of the Fourth Reich by undercover Nazis in post-War America. It’s a cause Nina believes in … until she’s forced to compromise the very principles of fairness and patriotism she holds dear. As she and Nick grow closer as partners, she forces him to question his own intentions. But as the body count mounts in pursuit of the Nazi ringleader, the evasive Alex, the stakes grow even higher for Nick and Nina.

Review

So I just signed up on Netgalley and while I was looking for some books to request I found this book and without even reading the description I requested it because of the awesome cover!

This book is set in the 60s (which I didn’t know until I finished it and read the back cover :D) and it deals with a young singer that discovers an organization that has to take down the Nazis that escaped to America after WWII. more “Review: Queen Of Kenosha by Howard Shapiro” …

Hi everyone!
FIRST OF ALL MERRY CHRISTMAS 💕!

 The Sun and Her Flowers by Rupi Kaur

• Genre: Poetry
• Pages: 256
• My rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ out of 5!
• Plot: this is the recipe of life
  said my mother
  as she held me in her arms as i wept
  think of those flowers you plant
  in the garden each year
  they will teach you
  that people too
  must wilt
  fall
  root
  rise
  in order to bloom.

REVIEW

So this is the new book by Rupi Kaur author of Milk and Honey and I waited soo much for this book to be published! This book, like Milk and Honey, is divided into chapters: wilting, falling, rooting, rising and blooming.
It’s a poetry collection about grief, self-abandment, honouring one’s roots, love and empowering oneself according to the book… But it’s so much more: it’s about loss, heatache, self love, femminism and immigration as well.

I think this book is really inspiring in fact I wrote notes in it, I don’t know why but there I felt free to write poems that were inspired by her poems and to doodle whatever came into my mind (okay not actually whatever but all the things linked to the poems).
The writing is amazing: I love her voice and the litotes she uses. I also liked most of the poems.

Hi everyone!

I saw the Bookish Naughty Or Nice Tag on Lia @Lost In A Story, she didn’t tag me, but I really like this tag… so these are my answers! 🙂

Received an ARC and not reviewed it

I don’t receive ARC copies, so no I didn’t.

Have less than 60% feedback rating on Netgalley

I’m not on NetGalley, so again I don’t.

Rated a book on GoodReads and promised a full review was to come on your blog (and never did)

Yes… One time and I’m actually writing the review today.

Folded down the page of a book

NEVER!! I love my books and I don’t like to ruin them…

Accidentally spilled on a book

I don’t like to admit it, but yes… I love to read books while drinking a cup of tea and that sometimes leads to disasters *cries*.

DNF a book this year

I usually don’t DNF books but I left a lot of books at page 40 but not beacause they’re boring just because I don’t have enough time

Bought a book purely because it was pretty with no intention of reading it

Nope, I tend to judge books by their cover: if I like the cover I read the blurb if I don’t like the cover and noone recommended me that book, I’m never going to read it!

Read whilst you were meant to be doing something else (like homework)

I don’t know when I did it, but I porbably did that many, many times…

Skim read a book

I did but only with Galileo by Bertol Brecht because I didn’t like it and I had to read it for school.

Completely missed your GoodReads goal

Well, the year hasn’t finished yet and I have to read “only” 4 more books, but if I read 4 comics I can do that!

Borrowed a book and not returned it

I didn’t technically do that: my grandma lended me a book and I still haven’t read it, so I can’t give it back.

Broke a book buying ban

No, I didn’t.

Started a review, left it for ages then forgot what the book was about

Literally me every time. I just did that for the review of Nimona.
HACK: always write your thoughts about the book you’re reading, so it’s more easy to review it!

Wrote in a book you were reading

Okay, so I HATE to write in books but I am reading The Sun and Her Flowersby Rupi Kaur and I had to write some lines of a poem that came to my mind, so I wrote those few lines in pencil on the page, and I don’t feel guilty about it!

Finished a book and not added it to your GoodReads

I think GoodReads is one of the best site for readers and I love to use it and keep track of my reading progress, so no I always add my books on goodreads as soon as I start them!

That’s it for the naughty or Nice Book Tag and since I’m so late, I’m not going to tag everyone in particular, but if you want to do it consider yourself tagged!

Are you on the Naught or on the Nice list this year? What are you hoping to get for Christmas?

Thank you for reading,
