Hello,
everyone!
It’s been a
long time since I posted anything on here, 4 ½ months to be precise, and I’ve been
thinking about getting back into it. And today is the day, ladies and gents!
I was doing
my weekly blog reading and I stumbled upon this bookish Tag post on Hannah’s
blog, One World, Too Many Pages, and I thought I’d give a try.
So here it
is, the “My Life in Books” Tag. Enjoy :)
1.- Find a
book for each of your initials
My initials
are SAM, and I’m going to choose books from my “Read” list.
S –
Sherlock Holmes: A Study in Scarlet, by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
A – All The
Bright Places, by Jennifer Niven.
M – Mrs.
Dalloway, by Virginia Woolf.
2.- Count
your age along your bookshelf: What book is it?
And Then
There Were None, by Agatha Christie. A dear friend of mine gave me this book
for my birthday and I’m really looking forward to reading it. I’ve heard so many
great things about the Queen of Crime; I really can’t believe that I haven’t
read any of her books yet… Shame on you, Salha, shame on you.
3.- Pick a
book set in your city/country
“Las Cruces
Sobre el Agua” (Crosses Above The Water) is a book set in my city. I haven’t read
it yet, but it narrates the events occurred during a massacre that happened in
1922. It all began with a strike, and the Ecuadorian President of that time gave
the order to the military forces to ease the “chaos” by whatever means
necessary. Thousands of workers were killed that day and their bodies were
tossed into the city’s river, hence the name Crosses Above The Water.
4.- Pick a
book that represents a destination you’d love to travel to
I’ve always
wanted to go to England and Scotland, so I think I’m going to pick the Harry
Potter books for this one.
5.- Pick a
book that’s your favorite color
I don’t
really have a favorite color… But I really like how the different shades of
blue and gloomy skies look on the cover of All The Light We Cannot See.
6.- Which
book do you have the fondest memories of?
Oh, boy…
Harry Potter all the way.
I really,
really like this series. It brings magic back into my life and makes me feel
warm every time I reread it. I don’t think I’ll ever get over this series, and
I know a lot of Potterheads will back me up in this!
7.- Which
book did you have the most difficulty reading?
Canada, by
Richard Ford.
I took me
weeks to get past half of it, and I couldn’t even finish it. It’s the only book
I haven’t finished in my entire life. I didn’t like it at all.
8.- Which
book in your TBR pile will give you the biggest accomplishment when you finish
it?
This is a
tough one…
I don’t
have a straight answer for this. There are so many wonderful books I haven’t
read and I’m pretty sure all of them will give me a big sense of
accomplishment when I finish them.

This is such a cool tag! Woah, only one unfinished book ever -- that's so impressive. I frequently get out books from the library which I'm not sure I like and then just end up abandoning them if I don't enjoy them haha. Thanks so much for tagging me! <3
