Alphabethon | Round 4! Day 1 & 2.

I never had heard of this readathon and I heard about it the day it had started, so basically I wanted to participate but with school and work it was going to be hard, it is going to be hard (I'm writing this on the first day). I woke up and heard about it and after a couple of minutes, I thought about participating even if I weren't going to read much.

There are challenges and I'm filling this as the days go by and I'm interested in a book.

The rules of this readathon round 4 are: reading a book that starts with a D, or the author's first or last name starts with a D.


Challenges: 

Read a book with two D’s. (Title, Author’s first name, or last name begin with D)
 - Dreadnought by April Daniels.

Read a book with an MC (main Character) whose name starts with D. 
 - Dreadnought by April Daniels.

Read a book with a D setting. (Town, City, State, etc. begins with D)
- And then there were none by Agatha Christie. It takes place in Devon! (And the book in Portuguese, my language, begins with a “D” (As Dez Figuras Negras))

Read a book that has an object on the front or back Cover that begins with D. (words beginning with D do not count)
 - 

Read a book over 400 pages
 - Thinking about Something in Between by Melissa De La Cruz or Margot and Me by Juno Dawson.

Read a book under 200 pages.  
 - In Real Life by Cory Doctorow and Jen Wang.

Read a Horror book (since this round is so close to Halloween)
I’m not doing this challenge because I hate horror (any kind), so can I count a Thriller? Because And then there were none by Agatha Christie is a Thriller. (And in Portuguese the title starts with “D”)

Summer Favorites 2017

Noooo Summer is over! It was fast... damn.
I decided, in order to kind of remember this summer, to do little summer favorites!

Lately, I've been making more effort on my skincare, so I've accumulated quite some things that I really enjoyed.

Finally Fall Book Tag!

Yes, 2 tags in a row, oh well... I'm really enjoying doing tags so if you know come that you would like for me to do then feel free to tell me.

Anyways, fall... not my favorite season because it marks the beginning of school, but is still an enjoyable season, everything is more orange, which is my favorite color, and yellow and red. Halloween in my street we don't that many kids anymore, we all grew up, so the spirit of giving candy is dying in here, but still, one or two small groups still appear. 
I decided to do this tag because, like I said, I'm really enjoying doing these, so why not do a fall book tag? Let's see how it goes.

I don't know who invented this tag but I was feeling like doing it. Basically  it has 26 "questions" corresponding to each letter of the alphabet. So let's start!

Girl Online Trilogy by Zoe Sugg Review

 Is this a series or a trilogy? There's only 3 books out but I'm not sure if there's going to be more...

Title: Girl Online

Author: Zoe Sugg

Release Date:  November 25th, 2014

My Rating: 3 Stars

Format: Physical Book (Paperback)

I received the first 2 books on Christmas 2015 because they knew I liked Zoella, then the 3rd book I received Christmas 2016, but I still haven't read the others. And since I've had them for a while I decided this was the year I would read all 3, and I did, and it was average ...  The whole series rating is 3 stars.
I'm gonna talk about them separately because I have a different rate for each one.

How did that happen?

Weird title for a blog post right? I just want to talk about my panic attacks and that's how I feel ... How did it happen? Why did they start?

So first of all, Hi, hello, how are you? 

Like I said I have no idea of why my panic attacks started, basically, I was on vacation two years ago, and when me and my family got out to go to the beach I remembered I had forgotten something in our apartment upstairs, so I had to go back alone in an elevator, and that's when it started.I couldn't breathe right, I kept thinking about what was happening, it felt like something was crushing my lungs, and then the door opened and I got out and I could breathe again. (Was this a panic attack? I'm still not sure). I called my mom and told her was happened so she came upstairs and we both went back downstairs and nothing happened, and I was very confused and decided to let it go, it was probably nothing.

Love & Gelato by Jenna Evans Welch Review

Yes, another 5-star book review.
I read this while on vacation, I thought it was the perfect time to read this book.

First of all, I always wanted to go visit Italy, I'm an art student, so you can guess why I want to go there. And then I read this book, and now, I want to go there even more. And eat gelato.
While reading this book I started craving gelato so badly!!
