Wednesday K-pop! with Liliana: MAMAMOO (a.k.a. vocal QUEENS)

Hello, and welcome to another post of mine, where I will be praising another vocal goddesses. I’ve fallen for them soon after their official debut, and I never regretted my decision of hardcore stanning these ladies, even despite some of their controversies.

The Sunday Post: June 26 – July 2

Wow, hello July!

We have officially got past the first half of this year! Clap if you managed to survive the first 6 months of 2017!

June Wrap-up & Haul! / Or never make promises again, Liliana

Hellooooo, I have news for you. It’s up to you to decide whether it’s good or not. But fact.

JUNE IS ENDING TONIGHT.

Did I say already that from now on only Produce 101 season 2 gifs will be used here for reactions?

Whaaaat? How??? Why so quick?
Ahhhh, nevermind, we never win a game against time. Unless you have a blue police box that is bigger on the inside. So let’s go for our regular monthly wrap-ups!

Top Ten Tuesday: Best Books Read In 2017 So Far

Top Ten Tuesday is a bookish meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish on a weekly basis.

Hellooooooooo, have a good last week of June!

Today’s Top Ten Tuesday‘s prompt is Best Books Read in 2017 So Far, and I definitely won’t be separating by genre or anything because I read too little to do it that way. I will post a book cover and a link to my review for those interested in my opinion on that specific book I’ve chosen!

Best Books Read in 2017 So Far

The Sunday Post: June 19-25

OMG, how come June is almost over??? Like… 5 days left only??? What I’ve been doing for the past 6 months??

Probably I need a quick recap of that as well, but first – weekly digest!

REVIEW: A Darker Shade of Magic by V.E. Schwab

Guess what?

I started Shades of Magic trilogy! But…

The other two parts are yet to be released in Russian, so I’ll probably wait until it happens (which is soon, if we talk about A Gathering of Shadows), and I will be patiently waiting, because I’m 100% snatching a physical copy of the trilogy in Russian! Also same thing goes to ACOTAR series (and The Lunar Chronicles as well, if a re-print takes place in Russian publishing)

A Darker Shade of Magic
by V.E. Schwab

Rating:
Goodreads | Amazon
Book Depository | Barnes & Noble
Published: February 24th, 2015
(May 15th, 2017 for Russian edition)
Format: eBook

Synopsis: Kell is one of the last Antari—magicians with a rare, coveted ability to travel between parallel Londons; Red, Grey, White, and, once upon a time, Black.

Kell was raised in Arnes—Red London—and officially serves the Maresh Empire as an ambassador, traveling between the frequent bloody regime changes in White London and the court of George III in the dullest of Londons, the one without any magic left to see.

Unofficially, Kell is a smuggler, servicing people willing to pay for even the smallest glimpses of a world they’ll never see. It’s a defiant hobby with dangerous consequences, which Kell is now seeing firsthand.

After an exchange goes awry, Kell escapes to Grey London and runs into Delilah Bard, a cut-purse with lofty aspirations. She first robs him, then saves him from a deadly enemy, and finally forces Kell to spirit her to another world for a proper adventure.

Now perilous magic is afoot, and treachery lurks at every turn. To save all of the worlds, they’ll first need to stay alive. (cr.: Goodreads)

REVIEW: Silhouette by Justin Richards (WOOW, any Whovians here??)

WOW, LILIANA, A BOOK REVIEW? I’M SHOOOOOOKED~

Hahahahahahahahahahahaha It’s been a while, right?

Anyways, YES, IT’S A FREAKING BOOK REVIEW. Been a while lol~
Although it’s not A Darker Shade of Magic yet, but I’m completely okay with reading several books at the same time and finishing in different order hahahahahahaha

Yeah, this is exactly how I read and review books

The Doctor and his friends find themselves thrust into a world where nothing and no one are what they seem. Can they unravel the truth before the most dangerous weapon ever developed is unleashed on London? (cr.: Goodreads)

Do The Talking: Background music when reading

Hi!

Finally, another edition of Do The Talking.
I had three attempts on writing this post. I miserably failed. I’m a damn emotional potato!

Of course, with a crown on my head made of books I’ve yet to read so its weight could remind me of my never ending TBR pile hahahahaha

But nope, I will still talk about Background music when reading, because this topic is pretty close to me, and I think I have rights to share my thoughts on that.
