I know I say this every time I have to post a wrap-up but it’s truly what I feel at the moment: time goes by so quickly! How come we’re 6 months into 2023 already? Surreal! Today I want to share with you my top 4 reads of the year, so far, though. I have read many books, and enjoyed them all, but only these made it to the top choices 😉 … continue reading to find out more about them!

The New York Times, BBC, The Guardian, and many other news anchors, have all made articles on which are the prettiest and most beautiful bookstores in the world. As a book lover, I have obviously read tons of these articles, scrolled through them, and become fascinated by the beautiful bookstores that planet Earth has to offer. Today we will be discussing which are my favorites and at the top of my wishlist…

There are two types of people in this world: those who buy a book, immediately read it, love it, and then go out to buy another one, and repeat the process; and then, you have those who buy 2, 3, or 10 books at once and let them collect in piles around their house… unread. We may pick up a new book every other month but the other 8 books we have bought will keep collecting dust on those shelves ;). There is no in-between. What everyone has in common though, is that they all love going book shopping!

August is coming to an end which means that summer is slowly fading away too. I hope everyone has spent their summer nicely, relaxing and overall having fun. Now we cue a cooler weather, leaves falling off trees and drinking hot chocolate every weekend. Autumn is right around the corner! It’s my favorite time of the year (after winter, of course) and I am so excited to wear flannels and jackets again. Back to the post though…

For anyone wondering “what is a media adaptation?” this is the process of taking content in one medium and reproducing it for another medium, for example the most common type of media adaptation is that of a book being made into a movie or show. I’m sure that many book lovers can relate to the feeling of excitement after discovering that your favorite book is going to be adapted into a movie or show; as well as the bittersweet moment where we wonder “what if the movie/show isn’t as good as the book?”

Halfway through 2022 already? Unbelievable. July is starting (aka my birthday month) and that calls for a monthly wrap-up as we have made a tradition on this blog 😉 . I hope everyone has been spending their time well, that you’re all safe and sound and as always, taking care of yourself and dedicating time to the things you enjoy!

There is one question that most of us, book lovers, dread to answer. Not because we don’t have an answer for it, we must certainly do, but mostly because it is so difficult to choose only one for an answer. “So what’s your favorite book?” AS IF I CAN CHOOSE ONLY ONE BOOK! I literally have a full-on google document with all of my favorite reads from all genres, book formats, star ratings, stand alone, duologies, trilogies, etc. If you ask me that question, be sure to be specific…

We are officially starting the 5th month of 2022, WOW! Time does fly, I swear; where do the hours even go? For real, we are about to finish the first half of the year. That’s surreal. Anyway, I hope you have been spending time well, dear book lovers. Staying safe, taking care and dedicating time to yourself, if possible. Remember you are your first priority :D. Hope you’re all good!

April is here! Spring begins for many, and for us in Central America: a warm summer starts; you all have no idea how hot it gets here :0 . I prefer the freezing cold and winter but we have to adapt so, warm it is 😀 . Anyway, April has started which means Spring Break / Vacations from college so I am excited to post more articles here, as well as posts for my Instagram Feed so stay tuned for that (@thebookssmuggler) 😉 .
