Amo los libros de #virginiawoolf donde escribe sobre educación, género y el lugar de las mujeres en la sociedad. Esta fue una lectura difícil porque aunque se han avanzado en mucho de los temas tratados en este libros y en los derechos de la mujer la repetición de estas problemáticas en la actualidad nunca deja de sorprenderme. #threeguineas

Este #januarywrapup logré leer 6 libros el 50% de los que leí en el 2017. La mayoría los había empezado y abandonados a lo largo de los años 2016 y 2017. Leerlos forma parte de recomponer mi relación con la lectura y los libros.

*Las Olas y Tres guineas de Virginia Woolf
*Eternidad Maldita de Daniel Arias
*Vindicacion de los derechos de la mujer de Mary Wollatonecraft
*La casa de las miniaturas de Jessie Burton
*Lady Susan de Jane Austen

Buying birthday presents in my neighborhood comic book store i found out that Paper Girls has arrived at Argentina but only the fist 8 singles issues. Was so excited that i bought the first issue and read it immediately, really love it and can wait to read the rest. Used to love reading comics but haven't done it in a long time so im coming back slowly to reading them.

#papergirls #comics

Can i go a month without reading a book for pleasure? Sure, but not buying one seems impossible. At least this month i break my three months strike of Stephen's Kings books with this short stories by #HermanMelville, Moby Dick is one of my favorites books and Bartleby the Scrivene was one i completely love, but never read anything more so this was a good price and a good place to try again.

#TBR #BookHaul

Im reading just not the fun kind mostly the obligatory for exams, papers, research and statistics that makes my wrap up for #april boring, so this beautiful book that my dad gifted me this month is my light at the end of the exams tunnel but also adds to my #TBR with so little time to actually read. The bazaar of bad dreams is a book of short stories by #StephenKing and im in love with this cover it's just so beautiful and up my alley.

March was the first month i crave to the temptations and buy books in the Night of the Bookstores and also going to buy a book for my mom's birthday and also get as a gift other ones, this is the mini #bookhaul:

*The thousand autumns of jacob de zoet by David Mitchells
*Wolves of calla by Stephen King
*Finders Keepers by Stephen King
*Notas de Prensa 1 and 2 (Press Releases) by Gabriel Garcia Marquez

Im having a terrible #readingslump for the last 6 months or so, a book at month is all i manage to finish. This #marchreads was a graphic novel based on the novel #CrimeandPunishment, it was short and also a so so read that not let me that passionate to read more, the drawing style was not the one i love but was all right for the story. Im crossing my fingers for a better April.

#StephenKing17 #day30 #animals This was the easiest to choose Oy the Billy-bumbler is my favortite animal in any of the books is a special little companion of Jake and i love him.

#StephenKing17 #day29 #scariestscenefrommovie This movie is still not out but when i watch the trailer for the new version of IT scared me and the old version did to, other movies that scare me were The Shinning and the twins always comes to mind, Misery and the hammer are all to much for me but i still enjoy them.

@Josie @Gayan

#StephenKing17 #villains In Dr Sleep Danny Torrance is all grown up and a bit messed up but finds a place to call his own and star fighting his own demons when he meets Abra Stone who needs help. This is when Rose the Hat leader of The True Knot's becomes my favorite villain because its not only scarry but is also a fear that follows and feeds of you that even after the Overlook Hotel and his horrors this is a challenge for him
@Gayan @Josie

#StephenKing17 #day26 #scariestscenefromthebook Pet Sematary is for me the one, is full of scary scenes that make me not want to know what happens next but still needed to keep reading. The parts about Zelda were the ones that get me the most.

@Josie @Gayan

#StephenKing17 #day25 #FavoriteMaleCharacter I'm not sure if he is my favorite male character but the one i empathize the most was the protagonist of Joyland Devin Jones. I was felling a lot like him when i read the book, lost and in my twenties but in the end finding the path (Mine without ghost or murder luckily)

@Josie @Gayan

#StephenKing17 #day24 #Bachmanbooks i didn't read any of his book but i have my sight in this edition that contains four of his novels under that pseudonym Rage, The Long Walk, Roadwork, and The Running Man.

@Josie @Gayan

#StephenKing17 #day23#BookSpines This book spines are very minimalist all have King in golden and a little illustration that is relevant to the book, and just in some occasions they change the book color (like the edition of Lindsey's Story) they look very pretty all together.

@Josie @Gayan

#StephenKing17 #day22 #favoriteSeries The Dark Tower is the only series pf his i read completely. The books are somehow controversial and the two categories in which people fall are or you love it or you hate, and im more of the first one i can't hate the Ka-tet.

@Josie @Gayan

#StephenKing17 #day21 #Shareyourcollection This is my Stephen's King shelf, some of his books were very difficult to find in Argentina. The Dark Tower book 5 and 7 were practically impossible to find The Wolves of Calla i just buy the complete edition this weekend, the same with IT i have to wait till it was re-published so i have an old paperback edition in English and the Spanish edition which is massive.

@Josie @Gayan

#StephenKing17 #day20 #FavoriteAdaptation I have seen a lot of his adaptations without knowing that were from his books first. For that reason im choosing The Green Mile, never read the book but love the movie and remember seeing it a lot when i was a child so it holds a special place, the same goes with The dead Zone.

@Josie @Gayan

#StephenKing17 #day19 #MostRecentlyRead I think the last i read of Stephen King was one of his short stories for The New Yorker about his car accident named On Impact or what im currently reading that is Salems Lot.

@Josie @Gayan

#StephenKing17 #day18 #Favpublished1974-99 The Dark Tower II: The Drawing of the Three (1987) is my favorite of the Dark Tower series and of that time period too, is a fast read and introduced all the characters that you finish loving.

@Josie @Gayan

#StephenKing17 #day17 #FavoriteJoeHill Never read any Joe Hill so i just choose the one I'm more interested in reading NOS4A2.

@Josie @Gayan

#StephenKing17 #day16 #endpapers The only two books who have some tipe of pretty end papers. The Dark Tower has illustrations in all of the books but only the 7th has one of Roland as end paper, and the other one is from Mr. Mercedes and is a sky.

@Josie @Gayan

#StephenKing17 #day15 #favoritefirstline This is the first line of Riding the Bullet in Spanish the English version is:

"I‘ve never told anyone this story, and never thought
I would—not because I was afraid of being disbe-lieved, exactly, but because I was ashamed . . . and
because it was mine"

I really like it because i have feel that way about certain experience that are just so weird or personal that you can just share it

@Josie @Gayan

#StephenKing17 #day14 #Uglycovers This cover it just not the most pretty its just so strange in general, but the book is great i particularly love the last 100 pages.

@Josie @Gayan

#StephenKing17 #day13 #shortstories This stories are very dark ant touch in themes of rape and murder, abused and death
1922 was terrific, scary and populate my nightmares and a particular part still scares me when i think about it
Big Driver make me feel very angry and sad and impotence for Tess
A Good marriage is about married life but of course murder is in the mix
A fair extrension was a needed break from the more heavy ones

@Josie @Gayan

#StephenKing17 #day12 #leastfavoritebook This is not a book i hate is it just falls short with the ones i really love. Mr Mercedes is the first in the Bill Hodges trilogy, the second one sounds more interesting and it reminds me off Lisey Story and the third one was a supernatural ingredient that it spikes my curiosity so in provably going to continue just not now.

@Josie @Gayan

#StephenKing17 #day11 #TBR This are the ones i currently own but not the only in my TBR this, some i would like to read but don't own are The Stand, Dolores Claiborne, The girl who loved Tom Gordon, Hearts in Atlantis for his relation with the Dark Tower series and finish the Bill Hodges trilogy (only read the first one) and many more.
The ones in the picture are:
*Bag of Bones
*Misery
*Salem's Lot
*Different seasons

@Josie @Gayan

#StephenKing17 #day9 #favoritecover I really like this cover because is very simple but pretty and is appropriate for how it connects with the story. This book is one that you love (like me) or are really put off by the inside language between the characters, it takes a few pages but is worth it.

@Josie @Gayan

#StephenKing17 #day9 #sawthemoviefirst Does someone read this before seeing The shawshank redemption, saw it a millon times in my childhood before learning that it was a book, the same story goes with Stand by me that is in the other part of this collection.

@Josie @Gayan

#StephenKing17 #day8.#lovetoreread this book is one of my favorites because is like no other of his and has a special place in my heart because of the moment i read it. Initially i read it in his correct order between 4 and 5 but after listening to Unspoiled the podcast about this series (That i highly recommend they are in book 4) i fell like i should re readed now that i ended the serie.

@Josie @Gayan

Im not the most consistent with the litsy photo challenges but #StephenKing17 combined my love of his books with my stubbornness and that was enough to make me want to try again.
#Day7 #DNF with #UndertheDome i was 300 pages in and the parts about Junior Rennie make want to scream and vomit so i just couldn't finished, never seen the tv serie because of the same reason.

@Josie

Im in the middle of studing for my epistemology final and between Foucault, Althusser, and Butler is Deleuze with Conversation that is perfect for today consign of One Word Title #riotgram

En el medio de preparar mi final de Epistemología y entre Foucault, Althusser and Butler esta Deleuze con Conversaciones que es perfecto para la consigna se hoy de titulos de una palabra.

'Where i read' during the summer is outside in the balcony because most of my reading happens to be in the public transport or my university library. #riotgram

En el verano trato de leer afuera aunque sea en el balcón porque paso la mayor parte del año leyendo en el subte, colectivo o la biblioteca de la Universidad. Leer libros de terror de noche es una de mis cosas favoritas.

#shelfie This are two of my shelves i dont have just one bookcase i have several shelves all around my room the top one is my Stephen King and the other is my TBR, this month propose is to buy one. #riotgram

Estos son dos de los estantes que hay en mi pieza, no tengo una biblioteca a sino varios estantes el de arriba es de Stephen king y el otro libros para leer, el proposito de este mes ademas de rendir finales es finalmente comprar una.

This january i only read one book (that i get for Christmas from my dad), is a retailing of the Fairie tail but with a twist, and a very twisted witch but also is about choosing the wright path for our own life. The illustrations were beautiful and very detailed.

Este libro es una reinvención de los cuentos de hada mantiene a la bruja en otra forma y cambia la idea sobre elegir sobre nuestra propia vida, las ilustraciones son preciosas.

During the days 1,2 of #boutofbooks 18 only read 25 pages of A Vindication of the Rights of Woman. In the third day 117 pages of #TheWaves by Virginia Woolf accompany with a tangerines and orange juice.

Durante los dos primeros días de #boutofbooks solo pude leer 25 páginas de "Vindicación de los derechos de la mujer" y en el tercero avance 117 páginas de Las Olas de #VirginiaWoolf acompañado con un jugo de mandarina y naranja.

I'm participating in #boutofbooks 18 after years of trying and failing of doing it, the last time was when i still was active in my blog in 2014, my TBR is mostly books i want to read but short so is not a lot of pressure.

Estoy participando en Batalla de Libros
N° 18 después de varios intentos fallidos la última vez todavía estaba activa en mi blog que intentare retomar, estos son libros que quiero leer pero cortos para eliminar presiones

My favorite book of the year is actually a re-read when the spanish edition came out i need it so i buy it, this is a beautiful book Aristotle voice is poetic and at the same time a teenager, Dante is the sweetest boy, just read it in 2017 if you didn't yet.
El libro que mas me gusto del 2017 en realidad es una relectura Aristóteles es poética y simultáneamente la de un adolescente, Dante es muy dulce, léanlo en el 2017 si todavía no lo hicieron

This year of mediocre reads and unfinished books begin in January first with this book and this picture, so im hopping for a 2017 full of great books and the time and energy of actually finish them. That this Holidays find them full of great books and happiness, hoping for more time for reading and being back in Litsy.

Felices fiestas, que las pasen con mucho amor y buenos libros.

This edition has the portion of The Brothers karamazov The Grand Inquisitor of Fiodor Dostoyevski, and the short story The House of the Dead, both were a quick introduction to his work

Este libro fue mi introducción a los escritos mas extensos y conocidos de #Dostoyevski pero en una porción mas chica, este contiene El Gran Inquisidor de Los Hermanos Karamazov y el cuento La Casa Muerta

#photoadaynov16 #onewordtitles Back after a few busy days, this book was there for me the day i make a very big decision and there was not ghost of Joyland still resonate with me.

Estuve ocupada los últimos días pero por fin estoy un poco mas libre y de vuelta en Litsy, este libro lo leí un día que tome una de las desiciones de mi de mi vida pero no estaba el fantasma de Joyland.

#photoadaynov16 when my University was very close to the #Ateneo was a temptation and definitely a #booknerdproblems now that we move to another neighborhood i cant go but have the same problems that every other booknerd to many books to little time and a never ending tbr.

El #GrandSplendid estaba cerca de mi universidad y era una tentación para comprar libros ahora que hay otra sede, solo tengo muchos libros y poco tiempo

#photoadaynov16 #orangecovers In this hemisphere is spring so everything is a pretty shade of green and the only orange is in the flowers that are blossoming and the cover of Lady Susan.

Estamos en primavera en este hemisferio y todo es verde lo único naranja se encuentra en las flores que están floreciendo y en la portada de #LadySusan de #JaneAusten

@RealLifeReading

#photoadaynov16 #herebedragons The Hobbit is great, for my was a great summer book, the movies not so much but Smaug is great either way and my edition has him in the cover.

El #Hobbit es genial, fue un buen libro de verano para mayor escapismo en la playa pero las películas no tanto, tenía que elegir este libro hasta tiene a #Smaug en la portada.

@RealLifeReading

#photoadaynov16 #publishedinthe1990s this books were my choice the 90s. Others were Choose Your Own Adventure and many more, i was a child and my taste in books is evidence of that.

Los libros que estaba leyendo en los años 90's eran estos entre otros Elige tu propia aventura, Clarita se volvió invisible y muchos que ya no recuerdo, creci en los 90 y esto es evidencia de ello.

@RealLifeReading

#photoadaynov16 My #favoriteneilgaiman is American Gods all his books are pretty great but this one holds a special place in my heart and im really exacted about the series because of Bryan Fuller i love Pushing Daisies, Wonderfalls and Hannibal

Este es mi favorito de los libros de Neil Gaiman siempre va a tener un lugar en mi corazón, estoy esperando la serie por #BryanFuller amo #PushingDaisies, #Wonderfalls y #Hannibal

@RealLifeReading

#photoadaynov16 #bookandbrew Sometimes (always) worried about the word and the paths that we are taking, the last times we voted (in my country last year, in Latin America, in Europe and last night) feels like everything i believe in means nothing and that hate is overpowering us, that keep studying sociology is pointless but then i wake up and fight for a better word, hate never is the answer, this is an old photo but this book works for today

#photoadaynov16 #cookbooklove
This book is the only i own and part of a joke with my parents, when they travel and i ask for a heavy book, they tell me is Doña Petrona's book (it's a famous cookbook in Argentina and very heavy) and one time they buy me this reduce edition

Es parte de un chiste que tengo con mis padres cada vez que viajan les pido un libro pesado, siempre decian te llevamos el libro de Doña Petrona hasta que volvieron con este

#photoadaynov16 #readinschool The Gaucho Martín Fierro is the book that everyone in high school in Argentina reads or so it seems, but it is a reading that is a part of the history of our country.

El Gaucho Martín Fierro es una lectura obligada para todo estudiante secundario en #Argentina o al menos eso parece, por alguna razón es parte de la historia de nuestro país.
