Hopefully the fact that I started Legends & Lattes by Travis Baldree today and and 75% finished with the book bodes well for the rest of my January 2023 TBR.
In addition to Legends & Lattes, I plan on reading:
What Moves the Dead, T. Kingfisher
How To Sell A Haunted House, Grady Hendrix (release date 1/17)
My Heart is a Chainsaw, Stephen Graham Jones (reread in anticipation of Don’t Fear the Reaper)
Certain Dark Things, Silvia Moreno-Garcia
Happy New Year and Happy Reading!

12/40. La canzone di Achille - Madeline Miller
Achille mi stava guardando, gli occhi profondi come la terra. «Verrai con me?» chiese. Il tormento infinito dell'amore e del dolore. Forse in un'altra vita, avrei potuto rifiutare, avrei urlato strappandomi i capelli, lo avrei lasciato solo ad affrontare la sua scelta. Ma non in questa. In questa sarei salpato per Troia e lo avrei seguito, persino nella morte. «Sì» sussurrai. «Sì.» — Patroclo
He was watching me, his eyes as deep as earth. “Will you come with me?” he asked. The never-ending ache of love and sorrow. Perhaps in some other life I could have refused, could have torn my hair and screamed, and made him face his choice alone. But not in this one. He would sail to Troy and I would follow, even into death. “Yes,” I whispered. “Yes.” — Patroclus [The Song of Achilles - M. Miller]

Vem 2020!!!
Era uma vez o ano de 2019, que passou voando!!! Então antes que 2020 me pegue desprevenida, já estou planejando o que fazer para o blog...
Primeiramente, vamos continuar com o projeto “Lendo o mundo”, que já está no décimo país!!!! Não publiquei aqui os vídeos, mas este ano, colocarei o link para todos eles.
E além dele, tenho mais dois projetos literários para 2020:
O primeiro é o desafio de leitura do PopSugar (https://www.popsugar.com/entertainment/reading-challenge-2020-46857621 em inglês), que é um desafio que eu já tentei realizar outros anos, mas ainda não completei nenhum! Mas estou animada pra tentar mais um ano! Rsrsrs
E o segundo é um desafio antigo do blog Books and Cupcakes, que é um photo challenge, onde você deve colocar uma foto por dia relacionada a livros de acordo com uma lista. Como eu já disse, é um desafio antigo, talvez de 2016, mas eu achei legal e resolvi fazer esse ano mesmo!!!!! :)
Que venha 2020!!!! Estaremos (um pouquinho mais) preparados!!!
