Hi guys! Happy Sunday, I'm sorry I didn't post yesterday, as promised, but I was helping my momma cleaning the house and I forgot completely!
I hope this post will find you well and happy!

This week I've been dedicating myself to reading and  reviewing all the books in my NetGalley and cross-posting reviews on Amazon, Goodreads and Booklikes. It's kind of exausting but I'm trying to get more material so I can review more books for you and even create other kinds of posts.
Between all that I have been thinking what course I want to take in university and I only have one year to decide! I'm torned between web-design and biology and I really don't know what to do!
I have been having trouble reading my school assigned books and  the book "Memorial do Convento" by José Saramago, which is a Nobel Prize Winner, is being particularly difficult because the only kind of ponctuation is has is commas, stops and capital letters. There's no speech introduction and I find it hard to distinguish speach from narration!
I'm hopeful that I'll be able to finish this book in time for school!
And to say goodbye here's a funny caption from Tumblr about schoolwork:

Summary:
Kricket Hollowell never wished upon stars. She was too busy hiding in plain sight, eluding Chicago’s foster care system. As her eighteenth birthday approaches, she now eagerly anticipates the day she’ll stop running and finally find her place in the world.
That day comes when she meets a young Etharian soldier named Trey Allairis, who has been charged with coming to Earth to find Kricket and transport her to her true home. As danger draws close, he must protect her until she can wield the powers she cannot use on Earth…and he soon realizes that counting a galaxy of stars would be easier than losing this extraordinary girl.
Kyon Ensin knows the powerful depths of Kricket’s gifts—gifts he’ll control when he takes her for his tribe and leads the forces that will claim Ethar and destroy his enemies, starting with Trey Allairis. Now, Kricket faces the most difficult choice of her life: whether to wage a battle for survival or a fight for love.

Summary:
The people need Justice, but she's not listening.
One hundred years before, the Great Sickness reduced the world to three dystopian cities. Now the community of Asphodel is trapped underground, waiting for the prophesied maiden of Justice to rescue them.
Sixteen-year-old Astrea is supposed to be this savior - too bad for them she isn't a believer. Astrea fights her fate until discovering a power she never knew she had, and a handsome ally she never expected. With her life in danger, Astrea must choose between saving her city or herself.
This thrilling young adult adventure is the first in the richly-imagined Starbright series, which is laced with mystery, mythology, romance, and magic. Justice Buried will have you questioning fate versus free will along with Astrea's strong female lead, and wondering who can be trusted when everyone is keeping secrets.

Review:
*The publisher provided this book in exchange for an honest review.*
Astrea is a sixteen-year-old girl living in the underground city of Asphodel, created to protect the community from the Great Sickness that attacked the human kind one hundred years before.
The citizens of Asphodel are waiting for a prophesied maiden to save them and to take back the outside world and unfortunately that maiden is Astrea. She has a great responsability and even her own home isn't a safe place for her when she has to decide to save everyone or herself.
This book takes you on a thrilling ride in a different world while Astrea learns what responsability and motivation really are and starts the path to find her true self.
I started this book with many doubts without knowing if I would like it or what it was really about, since I decided to request it on NetGalley after reading two lines of the description.
In the beginning it was difficult to immerse myself on the new reality that was Astrea's world but I kept reading and was not disappointed!
In this book you have distopian, futuristic and supernatural elements combined and fused into a great story with a great plot and great and marvellous characthers!
Just the feeling of living in a world where people's lives are contolled by the zodiac, they are controlled by things they have never seen! They pray to the sun, the moon and the stars and they don't know what those are!
When you can join a characther while he or she overcomes adversity is one of the best feelings ever! You're part of the group and you feel that you're there with them in that moment!
I loved this book and I know you'll like it to if you liked books like Divergent or Hunger Games, it has that special dystopian feel to it with a little hint of romance!

P.S: I neeed the next book because I want to see where this is going!

Today I want to talk to you about a persons  worst enemy: PROCRASTINATION!

procrastination
[proh-kras-tuh-ney-shuh n, pruh‐]
noun
1.
the act or habit of procrastinating, or putting off or delaying, especially something requiring immediate attention:
She was smart, but her constant procrastination led her to be late with almost every assignment.
Above you can see that the dictionary defines procrastination as putting off or delaying or in another words: Imagine that you have homework to do but then you look around your room and see an amazing book that you really want to (re)read and you keep putting of doing your homework and when the delivery day arrives you have to do it in the break before class because you read a book instead of doing your homework. That's procrastination and that is a problem that I struggle with every day!
Latelly my procrastination method has been the internet, mainly Youtube and Instagram! I think you know what I mean!
I've been spending more time watching photos and videos about books that I haven't read all the books that I want (and should) read and because of that my TBR pile (in my kindle) is getting out of control!
I have so many Galleys (from Netgalley) to read and so many books that I need to read for school and I'm doing almost zero reading!

Now that I've talked a little about procrastination I want to tell you something that happened this week that was surreal!
 If did not understand what it was from this picture I'll tell you! My country has purchased the rights to "The Death Code" by Lindsay Cummings! I'm so happy! I was in a restaurant when I saw this and I had a fangirl moment... yep... everyone looked at me...

On another note I'll show you the books you'll be seeing reviews of in the near future (from NetGalley):

And these are why I have a huge TBR! I hope I'll see you soon! Sorry for the long post!
Love, Ana
