Estoy hecho de cuanto esa época tocó mis sentidos y la parte de mi cerebro donde guardo mis recuerdos.

-Sofía Segovia; El murmullo de las abejas

But let me tell you what I know, what I’ve concluded: it doesn’t matter whether time passes slowly or quickly. What you can be sure of is that, in the end, all you want is to have more.

May TBR

- Stardust by Neil Gaiman (@neil-gaiman) (this months read for @readerbookclub )

- Wild Beauty by Anna-Marie Mclamore (Wild Beauty has been on my general TBR for a while and I think May would be the perfect month to tackle it. Mainly because there are flowers on the cover and May brings flowers).

- Lady Smoke by Laura Sebastian (I'm a little more than half way through and I'm really enjoying myself so far. If you love a lot of political intrigue I would recommend reading this series).

- Daughter of the Pirate King by Tricia Levenseller (I'm around 20% into the book and I'm already IN LOVE with the main character).

- The Starless Sea by Erin Morgenstern (I'm around 30% into The Starless Sea and it's probably the most beautiful book I've ever read. 100% recommend to literally anyone who can read). Review

- The Secret History by Donna Tart (I've only read the first chapter so far and I'm kind of meh about it but I've heard such good things about it that I'm hoping it gets better).

- Tears of Amber by Sofia Segovia (I just got this one on my kindle and I read the summary and I knew I had to read it. It sounds amazing and I'm very intrigued. It was also just released I think last month correct me if I'm wrong).

- Seasons of the Storm by Elle Cosimano (The general idea of this book sounds very interesting and I've heard that there's an echo of Romeo and Juliet so I'm also very excited to read this book).

- Stalking Jack the Ripper by Kerri Maniscalco (@kerrimaniscalco) (I'm currently on chapter 5 and there's already one of my least favorite tropes. However it's done in such a way that it's not annoying. Yet).

A/N: This may seem like a lot but I've just come out of a reading slump so I'm devouring every book in sight right now haha.

“Now it was as if the three months of isolation, while not exactly pleasant, had at least given them the illusion that they could continue living a life in which their worries were not minor but were ultimately intangible. They were returning, yes, even if, on the way to the hacienda, Beatriz could not stop thinking they were not going back to the life they knew before October, that everything had changed, that they would have to explore their new life as if it were a new world, a new frontier.” Sofia Segovia, The Murmur of Bees

This months work book club choice is surprisingly timely. And also very good.

Será que desde la más tierna infancia todos poseemos una veta de morbo que nos hace gozar al sufrir de terror.

Simonopio aprendió que el gran esfuerzo que requería hacer para decir las cosas más simples no valía la pena si nadie le entendía, si a nadie le interesaba.
