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
