Evolving Perceptions

Hi Lovelies! I know it is a bit too late for this post but I wanted to share the books that I want to read this year. My goal is to read unread books that I have sitting on my shelves and I do have a lot those. During this pandemic, I realize how many books I have not read and I just feel guilty that I buy a lot of books while they are just sitting there. Anyway, here are 15 book that I want to read this 2021.  1.  These Violent Delights ( These Violent Delights ) #1 by Chloe Gong The year is 1926, and Shanghai hums to the tune of debauchery. A blood feud between two gangs runs the streets red, leaving the city helpless in the grip of chaos. At the heart of it all is eighteen-year-old Juliette Cai, a former flapper who has returned to assume her role as the proud heir of the Scarlet Gang—a network of criminals far above the law. Their only rivals in power are the White Flowers, who have fought the Scarlets for generations. And behind every move is their heir, Roma Montagov, Ju...

I love that she wrote a Harshaw Quote because he is my favorite charater. He is just funny and unique from the other characters in the books.  June 21, 2015 I went to Leigh Bardugo’s book signing event in National Bookstore, Glorietta 1. I was so excited for this event because I love the Grisha Trilogy. The politics in books were amazing. It shows inferiority and superiority between the characters, and it shows how power is being used. The darkling was a very interesting character because in the book he is seen as this superior person but at the same time he was also inferior. And with that resulted his wanting to overthrow the current monarch. We are also presented with character that you will love, like harshaw, zoya, mal, etc… And even though they are different from one another they connect and create a perfect harmony between one another. Plus, it has a little bit action, romance and comedy that is not overbearing and will keep the reader entertained. The world bu...

I bought this at the beginning of June as a reward for completing my May TBR challenge. I bought my books from National Bookstore, FullyBooked and PowerBooks. 1. Stardust by Neil Gaiman I've watched the movie when it came out in theatre a couple of  years ago and I fell in love with the story. I've been meaning to read  the book version but I never had the chance to get a copy.   I have already read this in the beginning of June so I'll but my  review in my June Wrap Up.  2. Outlander by Diana Gabaldon I already bought a copy of this book last april but it was the bigger one  so I decided to buy the mass paperback edition so it's easier to bring when I travel.  3. More Than This by Patrick Ness I haven't read a book by Patrick Ness but everyone keeps raving about him  that I decided to try to read some of his books.  4. The Murder Complex by Lindsey Cummings I also read this month because I've be...

I know that I am so late with my TBR list but it is because I was skeptical of doing one this month. I have a lot of books to read and I don't want to follow a list when I'm reading, since my preferences changes a lot so it hard for me to follow my TBR list. Than I realized that I have a lot of series that I want to start (like the heroes of olympus, throne of glass, etc) and I just want to finish all my stand alone novels and series/trilogies that I have not finished.  So the first pile is the books that I have already read this month. I won't go into detail since I'll be doing an end of the month wrap up of all the book I have read.   1. Unravel me by Tahereh Mafi - It's been in my goodreads to read bookshelf since 2012  2. Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo - The reason why I started this trilogy even though my goal is to read first my other series/trilogy is that Leigh Bardugo is having a book signing next month and I want to finish this trilogy bef...
