Previously on this month #40

Previously on this month is a post to talk about our literary month. The idea
was inspired in the weekly meme from the blog Lost in Chick Lit, that called
the post “This week…” (“Essa semana” in Portuguese).

Reading:
Guta: After Lola, I don’t know what to read
Maeva: Stolen Nights, Rebecca Maizel

I read this month:
Guta: Procura-se um marido, Carina Rissi; Incarceron, Catherine Fisher; Finale, Becca Fitzpatrick; The Silver Linning Playbook, Matthew Quick; The Look, Sophia Bennett; Reckoning, Lili St. Crown; Lola and the Boy Next Door, Stephanie Perkins; and nine books for work purposes ;)
Maeva: The Edge of Never, J.A. Redmerski; Meu Amor É Um Mito, Roberta Splinder, Kássia Monteiro, Jaqueline de Marco, Mayra Bueno, Ana Lúcia Merege, Adrianna Alberti, Bárbara Morais, Andréa Kennen & Lívia Martins; The Unquiet, Jeannine Garsee; Until I Die, Amy Plum; Shades of Earth, Beth Revis

I reviewed this month:
Guta: Slver Linings Playbook, Matthew Quick; The Left Hand of God, Paul Hoffman; Halo, Alexandra Adornetto; Why We Broke Up, Daniel Handler; Leviathan, Scott Westerfeld
Maeva: Rebel Heart, Moira Young; Timepiece, Myra McEntire; Reached, Ally Condie
Guta and Maeva: The Red Pyramid, Rick Riordan; The Lost Girl, Sangu Mandanna; Red Blood Road, Moira Young; The Edge of Never, J.A. Redmerski
Guest Review: Charlotte Street, Danny Wallace

Best read of the month:
Guta: Incarceron, Catherine Fisher
Maeva: The Edge of Never, J.A. Redmerski

Best review of the month written by the other:
Guta: Reached, Ally Condie, as I was curious to see what Maeva thought of this book… I’m not excited to read it now.
Maeva: Leviathan, Scott Westerfeld, I have yet to read one of Westerfeld’s books.

Last purchase:
Guta: Just gifts and food at the beach LOL
Maeva: Anna and the French Kiss, by Stephanie Perkins, for my Kindle. It was a bargain!

Quote:
Guta: I didn’t read it this month, but I reviewed, so this one counts

The truth is, we all have problems; we all go through hardships and pain, and my pain is paradise compared to a lot of people’s and I really have no right to whine at all. — The Edge of Never, J.A. Redmerski

Maeva:

Coincidence is just the conformist term for fate. — The Edge of Never, J.A. Redmerski

I’m on mood for:
Guta: A wonderful book, that moves me like The Edge of Never. I didn’t got my hands in a book that moved me this year yet.
Maeva: More than 30min of reading a day. I’ve been so busy adapting to my new routine that I haven’t really had a lot of time to read. It’s taking me a week to read a book, while before it would take me 2 or 3 days to read one…

    When you add them all up that’s a LOT of reviews. How do you find the time to read so much? (You don’t really need to answer.)

    Most of the reviews were of books that we’ve had read last year, just a couple of them were from 2013 readings… But I do envy Guta’s speed reading lol She works as a freelancer for a brazilian publisher reading ARCs and analyzing them, letting the publisher knows if she believes they’re good stories to be bought by them or not. So she reads a lot more than an average person lol
