Book Mail - Goodreads First Reads


Hi guys! Today I picked up two books in the mail!
I won these books at Goodreads First Reads and I'm so happy and thankful!
The first book I receive it's a poem book from Rui Serra, a Portuguese author, the book is named Fragmentos do Meu Pensar.
I'm currently reading it and it's really great but I like to take it slow.




The second book I received is Wicked Night by Tierney O'Malley! I heard wonderful things about this book and I can't wait to read it!








Both authors were super nice and signed both books! I'll post a review on both books when I'm done with them!
Love, Ana

Happy New Year and Updates

Hi! First of all: HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!! I wish you all a happy new year and that your life may be awesome this 2015!
I'm sorry for not posting for such a long time but, as you may see, I've been working on the blogs layout and exposure which includes spending a lot of hours researching, learning and pain...
During the time I was away I won two GoodReads FirstReads books that are coming in the mail, I bought two books on The Book Depository and received other two books for Christmas!
I'm currently waiting for them and when they arrive I'll do an unboxing and I'll also show you the two books I got for my birthday, back in October.
In the meantime I'm trying to write more posts!
 
Love, Ana
