Reading time with Jay

 The Chosen Ones 1 (spoiler free). The Chosen Ones by Veronica Roth was highly recommended on Booktok. Tempted at first, I purchased it because I was annoyed at just how many people recommended it.  I had already read the Divergent series by Veronica Roth, so I did not mind discovering her new work anyways, especially when I learned it was targeted for a more mature audience. I always find it nice when authors (and artists) grow with their fans.  So I went to the first bookshop that had it and started to read it. What is it about? One day, a mysterious, dangerous and magical enemy, the Dark One, appeared, destroying everything and killing many. A clandestine government agency searches eagerly for someone to fight against the monster. That someone became a group of five teenagers, Sloane, Matt, Albie, Ines and Esther. Together, after long fights and terrifying nights, they succeeded. The war is over.  Ten years later, we find the Chosen Ones as adults. Sloane and Matt are dating and liv

 Red Queen 1 (spoiler free) I love scrolling on Tiktok. Once I noticed videos posted on Instagram were actually repost of Titkok videos, I thought it would be fair to give Tiktok a chance. And it was a good decision. I stumbled across Booktok, or the "book side of Tiktok". Few things I noticed is just how much YA is read! And not only by teenagers.

The story is set in a world divided into red bloods, the normal humans who are treated like less than nothing, and silver bloods, who have magical powers, a

I'm starting a blog I love reading. It's the reason why I chose literature in high school. But after graduation, I went into law school and I did not have the time to read anymore. It was honestly a hobby that I missed, so, so much. Then, 2020, pandemic, quarantine, you all know the story. I started to *finally* read the books that were rooting in my shelves since high school. Also, since I was literally stuck in my home, I downloaded Tiktok.  This app is amazing. You have endless free content and there is everything and anything you can think, the ugly and the glitter. One day, as I was scrolling, I saw a video recommending books, mostly YA. It sparked the craving I had for this hobby. During this summer, I went on a book shopping spree and bought tons of them. I have... +20 books waiting to be read and it makes happy. I thought about starting a Youtube channel, but there are just so many things I want to talk about: books, but also movies, TV shows, makeup, culture, commentar
