Maratona Literária de Inverno 2016

Então que eu não sou muito boa nessa coisa de fazer TBR. Quer dizer, fazer TBR até que é divertido, afinal: listas, como não amar? O problema pra mim é seguir aquela lista de livros que você decidiu que ia ler durante o mês, como se no decorrer do mês não fosse entrar no goodreads ou ver dezenas de vídeos em que booktubers falam maravilhas de livros que até então você não fazia idéia que existiam. Não sei priorizar, produção. O livro cuja review positiva estiver mais fresca na minha cabeça é provavelmente o que eu vou querer ler ~naquele exato momento~. Even though, eu decidi tentar fazer uma TBR pra MLI com algumas possibilidades do que eu poderia ler - considerando coisas que já estavam na minha TBR e que eu tenho no Kindle e na minha estante. Vai que rola, né?

Dewey's 24 hour Readathon

So, I'm readathoning again! I'm never super social when I readathon (just because I'm not really a social network person), but this year I'm feeling a great atmosphere of community! So, this is going to be my readathon post, where I'll update all possible challenges throughout the day. The first one being the...

OPENING MEME

1) What fine part of the world are you reading from today?
Brazil! :D I always manage to find some Brazilians participating - I feel like we are everywhere! (It's more like a plague or something, but let's keep a positive tone about it, shall we?)
2) Which book in your stack are you most looking forward to?
I would be very happy if I could finish reading A Gathering of Shadows, just because this book is FREAKING amazing! I've been reading snippets of it the whole week, wishing I could pick it up without having to stop.
3) Which snack are you most looking forward to?
I haven't organised a stock of snacks for the day, but I'll probably eat lots of ice cream and esfihas (is there a word for that in english?).
4) Tell us a little something about yourself!
I'm a 25 year old graphic designer and despite working with images, I'm all about words :) I read mostly on my way to work, since it's a 40 minute journey, but I also love reading in bed, before sleeping. I love YAs, fantasy series, contemporary novels and that's mostly what I read.
5) If you participated in the last read-a-thon, what’s one thing you’ll do different today? If this is your first read-a-thon, what are you most looking forward to?
As I said before, I''l try and be more social and interact with other readathoners :)

Time to read me some Kell and Lila and alternative Londons :D See you later!
