Book Review: Sunbolt

Hello guys!

I don’t do much reviewing on my blog here, yes I talk books when the chance comes, like here and here. In fact the only book I officially reviewed was The Hobbit. And that was because I was enamored. A result of various reasons including my incurable crush on the Baggins Boys. Ehem. Anyway I wanted to read Sunbolt for a while now, and also promised the very nice and talented IntisarKhanani I would review it in celebration of the upcoming release of the sequel or the second book of The Sunbolt Chonicles; Memoriesof Ash (on May 30) so here we are. 

Your Captain's Reflection Post and a yummy book

State Of Day. I know I know! Sunbolt review will come after this reflection post, I’m keeping this promise, sheesh!

And. After watching the Bollywood movie Drishyam and liking it I read it was inspired by the Japanese detective book The Devotion of Suspect X by Keigo Higashino, so I hunted for that book and Oh MY God! What a read, guys if you were living under a tent like me and haven’t come across this gem I say you must. I’m utterly speechless, I loved this book to pieces. Can you believe I hated no one and fell for every single man in this novel? Other than the victim himself that is, irony. Anyway, review on goodreads coming up soon.

Z is for Team Zeal!

Well well well! It is the final day ladies and gentlemen :D

Day Zero in the annual A to Z challenge, marking also the last day of April 2016, I hope you all had such a pleasant month, and year so far.

Like I said before I missed quite a lot of letters this time around and I’m not sure where I stand, am I a winner at least cause I didn’t get cut from the competition? Or are bloggers like me are to only be called participants?

W is for Team Wonder

State Of Day. I can’t breathe, can’t seem to live anymore, matches are from Saturday to Saturday, only one match per week, no FC Barcelona for a whole week. Slow death. Sigh!

………………………………………………………….

Why hello there!

‘W’ how about that? I always found it cute, as a letter, if it makes sense. A catchy name if you ask me, even in Spanish: “doblay-bay” hah! Cute :) as far as my Spanish teacher is concerned, I’m a good student, he’s pretty impressed with my linguistic background.

Learning Spanish has really gave me  something to look forward to, but I’m positive we can talk about all this later.

Right now, I have a team to represent.

Ladies and gentlemen, bringing you The Dream team ‘Wonder’

Team S has it All

Hello and Alsalamu3alaykum everyone!

We are to dive directly into today's team :)

Are you ready?

Geronimo!

Team R and it’s Riot at Riazor!

FC Barcelona caused riot in the Riazor of Deportivo yesterday by signing their visit with 8 goals and therefore ending a short but sad phase of consecutive losses that plagued our clean slate. Suarez = super hattrick with 4, Messi = an effortless 1, Neymar = 1, Rakitic = a classy 1 and finally the young Mark Bartra with a Maradona style run and finish.

Wow! Now that is what I call a comeback.

…………………………………………………………………………………….

M is for Team Messi! Messi! Messi!

State Of Day. Please, please get out of my head Kimura Shunji. I’m too depressed to deal with you right now. Leave, por favor T-T

…………………………………………………………………………………………………

Hello my friends :)

Today’s team is something else. Like super duper cool. It had to be. Today is “M” and we all know what that means.
 i.e. Messi.

I was waiting for M for a long time now. Here we go:

L is for a Team that Leads

State Of Day. Why? O why do I keep doing this to myself? Days ago I watched the final episode of the Korean Drama Gaksital “Bridal Mask”. A periodic about the last years of the Japanese invasion of Korea and the uprising leading to independence. And this drama was heart wrenching. No wonder the two leads got the shooting cut many times, they couldn’t stop crying because it was all so painful.

They cried and they were acting it, you can imagine what it did to me watching it. Good side is discovering a new remarkable Korean actor, Park Ki-Woong who played the tragic villain Kimura Shunji, a psychopath you hate…HATE loving.

And. Goodbye Champions League, there will always be next year, cheer up boys. Visca Barca!

……………………………………………………………………………………

Team H is Here!

Alsalamu3alaykum me Friends!

Missed you all! How is the A to Z challenge going eh?

As I said before I won’t be posting every day, and the time off was quite productive regarding research work so your Captain is happy :)

Team E and an Announcement

State of Day. This post has been delayed due to internet connection troubles.

Also. I’m really sorry, but I’m officially announcing that I will not be finishing this challenge with you, I don’t want to post things I’m not convinced about and to give it my all means doing badly in my Master research which of course cannot happen. Bottom line is don’t except to see the letters dancing daily on my blog. It is most unfortunate, and I thank you for your support and comments so far.

Your Captain.

Greetings my friends!

I’m posting for you today from a blue box where all the magical things tack-place, we can go to meet our old depressed future versions, or be hunted down by weeping angels, or solve the mystery of a mysterious crack on the wall and maybe dine with Liz 10 as we sale by a freezing star.

Have I made myself obvious enough? Ha!

Today’s team is special and dear to my heart. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

PASS

Hey guys!

Sorry, I pass the D post. I have a good idea for a dream team beginning with today’s letter but unfortunately I’m pretty busy. Perhaps I can post it on Sunday.

Thank You

See later.

Team C and Recommendations

Hello!

More than a 1000 blogger are participating in 2016 A to Z challenge and I have been out and about a little, I confess, visited only a few, but still, I found me some enjoyable reads. In fact, I recommend you go check:

B is for Team Bravo!

Hello!

Welcome, welcome! It’s the 2^nd of April making it my birthday. Your Captain is celebrating her birthday like every year on her blog with you.

Okay, I wished for things that will take a life time to achieve on my last birthday :p and I lack the luxury of time so I’ll just  skip the melodrama and make this simple.

A is for Team Alluring

State of Day. Sorry, sorry! A bit late, told ya I got a research to finalize :p

Why Hello there everyone!

I cut this strategic withdrawal to present you with my 2016 A to Z challenge Theme. Now I wish I can say I’m all free and we can chat like we used to do before but alas, I thought I will be through with my research this March but now even April is taken into the loop.
or is it out of the equation?

Good news is–isha’Allah- I will be joining you all in the marathonic A to Z challenge. I would not miss it for the world. Now I doubt I will be as active as last year but I will do my best. Hoping only to keep posting until day Zero.
