My readings (2019)

 Welcome, welcome my dears. It’s December (yes,”dear” we saw that already) I know it was really obvious; I just wanted to make an introduction...

Another year has gone by and I find really difficult to find movies to watch, thank God, I found  Hallmark Channel and I’m so glad that they are still so like me but if I must talk about American series… well, none of them was for me so I watched just one k-drama instead (God bless those K-dramas) I would watch more k-dramas, but my work didn’t allow me to spend too much time in my idleness. It was W two worlds I wrote an article in case you want to know a bit more (We already read it) Really? So efficient (Duh)

Perhaps my time is so little that I can watch all of those k-dramas I’d want to watch but if there’s one thing that never leaves me behind are my books. Yes, my books. I watched too many Hallmark movies and just watched one k-drama but I could read forty books and I’m so proud of it. I could read more if I would have had more time, but it is good as it is.

  I had time to re-read some of my favourites books like:

Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen (Re-read three times)

Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone (Re-read five times this first book)

Harry Potter and The Chamber of Secrets (Re-read two times)

The Prisoner of Azkaban (Re-read two times)

The Goblet of Fire (Re-read two times)

All of them by J.K. Rowling

I could read more of my  Agatha Christie (Really? Yours?)  I could share ¬.¬…

Evil under the Sun

Five Little Pigs

The body in the Library.

I want to read all her books. I love them all and I always get surprised by them. I’ve already read thirty-six books of Agatha and I want to read them all, but I can’t read them all just in one year because I have other wishes, as well. 

 I like reading some teenagers books, too. It happens to me that I’m still learning that (not that simple) language and reading these kinds of books make me feel more relaxed as to the vocabulary. So I chose these ones.

How the Grinch stole Christmas by Dr. Seuss

The letter, the witch and the ring #3  by John Bellairs (I’ve already read the other two and I love them, I want to read them all)

Nancy Drew’s adventures

The secret of the Shadow Ranch

The secret of Red Gate Farm

The Clue in the Diary
Nancy's Mysterious letter

It’s always a pleasure read this girl and her adventures. My eyes feel more relaxed as to read such a nice story (and what about your brain?) Shush!

Madeleine L’Engle

A Wrinkle in time

A wind in the door.

I’m so sorry but I couldn’t continue my readings with those stories because A wind in the door was (to me) (and to us) so soporiferous. I was an inch of not finish this story because it was so boring. I’m so sorry, I really am if someone loves it.

Mary Poppins #2 comes back by P. L. Travers (I’ve already read the first one because I love the movie from 1965. I disliked too much the new one.) (No one talks about the new one already, anyway. Believe us.)

Bedknobs and broomsticks #1 and Bonfires and broomsticks #2 by Mary Norton. (I knew that adaptation by Walt Disney (1971) which I love since my childhood and if you knew it like me but didn’t read the book you’ll get surprise as you find what a different story it has within…)

 I had the opportunity of reading some classic books, too. I always enjoy classic books. They are and were everything to the literature we have nowadays. They are the foundation. (It's a pity that these books of ours (not ours, not at all!) don't reflect what they were before. Such great books our classic ones)

The Postman always rings twice by James M. Cain (I really don’t understand why people love this book, I really don’t)

The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett (It was nice…)

Momo by Michael Ende (A super interesting book, very and truly. This classic book narrates us something that’s nothing new. It happened before and it’s happening under our noses but it seems that not everyone can see it, overall if we’re all the time with our smartphones wasting our dedicated hours, consuming our time in such a hurry, working and buying things that we really really don’t need but it seems that tv commercials always know better than you and without appreciating those details that mark your days like a simple smile. It’s a simple and beautiful this book. A book with a remarkable present-time although was written forty-six years ago. Incredible.

El nombre de la rosa (The name of the rose) by Umberto Eco. (What a brilliant book, as well! It's full of secret readings, shows you an unlimited passion for reading books and the danger of getting knowledge. On the other hand, if you understand, just a bit, the things had happened with the Catholic religion, then you will understand better the book when those parts come. You might enjoy yourself just reading the mystery inside that Abbey but you can go further and understand much more)

 I’ve read, too:

J. R. R. Tolkien

El Señor de los anillos (The Lord of the Rings):

La comunidad del anillo

Las dos Torres
El retorno del Rey

(I've finished this series already.) (About time!) Sorry... ¬.¬ but not everyone has the time or the same interest in reading certain books at the same time.

Twenties Girl by Shopie Kinsella (I’ve already read other books of Sophie I liked much more)

 And here it goes my new acquisition for this year. I’m so happy to have discovered these Christian books. Romance Christian Books… ¡Oh, my gosh (Oh, my gosh, indeed!) I found them and something is telling me that we’re going to live together for too many years from now on.

I started with Julie Klassen:

The secret of Pembroke Park --> My word! I’ve almost literally fallen in love with this story. I simply loved it too much I can barely describe all my feelings as to this book, but I wrote an article so you can peek in.

The silent governess (It was nice, but after reading that awesome story of Pembroke Park I was expecting so much more)

The tales from Ivy Hill (These are three books and the three of them are settled down in a town with the same characters that you spend time with. Each book is about one or two romances and the problems they have)

Melanie Dickerson:

The Regency Spies of London: A spy’s devotion #1

The Regency Spies of London: A dangerous engagement #3

(Well… I expected much more, as well. Too romance and less God’s stuff)

A loyal Heart by Jody Hedlund (It was nice)

Becky Wade: (This author surprised me, you’ll see)

My stubborn heart (It was nice but it ended badly… happy but I didn’t like because it made me almost hate that girl… )

A FamilyPorter – Undeniably Yours (Yes! After falling in love with The secret of Prembroke Park I thought that I never could feel the same way again. This book won my heart. Read the article if you like. Feel free.

A Family Porter – Meant to be mine (I thought it would be much the same, but I didn’t like that much)

A FamilyPorter – A love like ours (And again, this book won my heart, too… What can I say…?)
Bradford Sisters #1 - True to you (I thought it would be much better...)

I'm so glad I've read all this book. I enjoyed and learned so much.
Reading is never a waste of time if you know how to choose them.

God bless us. Every one!
