New Year, New BookPics

(Sorry I didn't check the grammar much on this post-I was just too excited to finally feel inspired and happy enough to post again on the blog.) Sorry sorry I haven't posted in forever. I've sucked as a blogger. Life hasn't been good nor bad. But I just wasn't feeling it T_T Anyway. Here it goes... Does "too late" exist? This morning I was going through emails, instagram, facebook, pictures... And I found out I want to learn something... something I never thought I'd want to learn. And I've started looking for places to learn it... I'm scared though, always always scared. As I've always been whenever I try something new, especially after failing time and time again. Am I too old to change my dreams? My goals? Seriously, I know I just have to pray and be stronger than before. Be who I am without apology. Stop trying to please everyone and start pleasing me and be true to myself. I'm not who I am just because, God let me be...

-BookPics Recommends- Contemporary #1

Image
I'll be trying to post these kinds of posts at least once a week.  Every week I'll try to spice things up a bit by recommending you different kinds of genres from different books and obviously different authors. The day I post it will be all about an specific genre and then an specific book or series from just one author so that I can have more authors to recommend later on when I go back to that genre :D Beware though, it's hard for me to read recently published books so my recommendations might not be the most up to date ones but they will certainly be from all the books I've read :D I haven't read THAT many but still I've got a few that I fell head-over-heels in love with and cannot get enough of them, never. So here it goes. To start... Contemporary! What better way to do this than by recommending you the first YA contemporary book I ever read! If I Stay by Gayle Forman *** Just listen, Adam says with a voice that sounds...

-A Little Letter For Me-

Dear Me, Don't forget to do things that make you happy every single day of your life. Try and try and try. Don't give up on doing these happy things just because you're shy. Remember there's a world out there and not everyone will be mean to you.  Just try. But be happy. Always. Because it is the only selfish thing you get to do for the rest of your life! Who benefits from you being happy? Exactly! YOU! Be brave :) Sincerely, Me 

-BookPics Is Curious- Traveling Books?

Image
So, I've been thinking. If you love, like, and can travel and are a booklover just like most of us, how do you pick which books are coming on the trip with you and which aren't. (Remember we're talking printed editions here since I know eBook readers are kind of on demand right now I still like to take with me one or 6 hehehe depending on the period of time I'm going to be away from home. Anyway, PRINTED books people ^_^ ) I'm a stinker for rereads. If there is one thing that keeps me from reading new books is the fact that I can't get over my book hangovers... Specially if it's a book that's the last in a series or if it's a standalone book or idk, I have tons of reasons why I read and read the same book over and over again and never get tired of it. So, if I love rereading books, how in the world am I expected to pick books to take with me for a long period of time away from home? Simple, I don't take them. Out of all the books t...

-BookPics Is Curious- Canada&USA ¿Seriously?

I seriously seriously shouldn't even say I'm a blogger anymore!! It's been FOREVER since I posted and I feel awful. Not because I haven't posted but because I have so much to say and I haven't taken the time to actually write it down somewhere, anywhere. And then of course comes the part where I completely forgot about my blogoversary last month and this month as well so I might as well just cry in a corner for the rest of my life. I'm so so sorry -pets blog- my life has been completely and utterly hectic this year working on some paperwork and then moving and then moving again and traveling and dreaming and dreaming some more that I haven't even had the chance to read much which simply put, sucks. I miss blogging. I miss rambling on and on about silly things and not so silly things. I miss sharing with the world my thoughts on books I loved or didn't love that much, I miss stalking my favorite authors so much!! I miss stalking my favorite blog...

USA here I come!! Wait What?

I AM GOING TO THE US as in USA!! SERIOUSLY I CAN'T EVEN EXPRESS MY OH MY GOD -flips---flops---flips---- I look like a fish out of the water right now. Thank you God T_T I don't know if I'll be able to meet any authors while I'm there (I'm going to LA and probably try to visit some bookish friends that live like 6 hours away from there but shhh don't tell my uncle.) but I will try my very very best!! If I die of happiness it'll be there so y'all have to make do and bury me in foreign land and all. Anyway. I'm alive, I'm reading and I'm a mix of all sorts of nervousness and excited-ness and giddiness.
