Title: The Pirate's Booty (The Plundered Chronicle #1) Author: Alex Westmore Release Date: October 19, 2015 PLOT:  When Quinn Gallagher’s childhood friend is abducted from a dock in Ireland, she’ll do whatever it takes to come to the rescue—even if that means dressing as a man and joining the crew of one of the most notorious pirate captains the world has ever seen. Quinn soon finds there is much to enjoy living as a man, in particular the company of other women.

I'm sorry that I have been MIA lately. I went on a vacation to Maldives and as soon as a came back I got sick that is why I haven't been uploading here. But check out my instagram  @isabelsamonte  because I post there regularly and also I have created a separate instagram for books and other bookish posts @ @reading_bella  . Moving on, I just got out of a bad reading slump and because of that I was behind my reading challenge. So, I decided to do a weeklong readathon so I can get back on track, which is 120 books. My goal was to read one book a day so seven books in total but I only read 6 and half books. I did not finished The Song of Achilles because I spend my whole Sunday in bed because I was not feeling well and also I watched the World Cup finals instead of reading. Two of the books that I read were re-read. I love re-reading books especially my favorites and most of the books that I read were contemporary.  1. When Dimple Met Rishi by Sandya Menon...

I cannot believe that 2017 is now over and is now 2018. The past year has been a rollercoaster ride with so many ups and downs with the existential crisis I had in the middle of the year but it is all in the past and I am so ready to move forward. 2018 is going to be my year.  Also, I am so happy that I have finally completed my goal of reading 100 books in one year; having read 115 books. So for 2018 I am going to attempt to do 120 books because I really want to push myself to read more. I also want to read more non-fiction books because I mostly read fiction books and I want to have a diversity in the books I am going to read this year.  Moving on with the book haul, I have gotten a lot of books from my family as presents and I have also gotten a book from an author, which I very grateful for.  1.
