My Favorite Book Cover Features 📸

 📸 Hi, guys! How are you today? I hope you’re having a wonderful day and enjoying your readings. ❤️ Today, I’m super excited, as always, to bring you a new post, this time all about my favorite book cover features! A topic that although I don’t see much of, I think it’s a lot of fun to chat a bit about. 😍 Obviously, we know not to judge a book by its cover, but let’s be honest, sometimes we do and many of those times it’s because it has some feature on it that really catches our attention based on our personal preferences. When I refer to features, I could be talking about any factor that is part of the cover, as well as any detail it has, such as objects, letters, images, colors, and so on. 🙌🏻 
In my case, this time I’ll be sharing with you the 5 fave characteristics that I love to find in the covers every time one is revealed, and they’re those details that make me fall in love with the covers, even before I know what the book is about. 🌟 In this post, we’re going to judge a little bit some of our favorite covers, and we can even go a little deeper and think about what it is that makes us even buy a book just based on the cover, and what it is about it that makes us love it so much. 😊 
I hope this will be an entertaining post to also admire some of the book covers I’ll be using as examples today, and I also hope you’ll share with me your own cover preferences, as I’m really curious to know! 👀 
So without further ado, get comfortable, find your favorite drink ☕️ & let’s get started! 📸

Top 5 | Books with Shocking & Impressive Writing Styles 🌪

 🌪 Hello friends, I hope you’re having a great day, full of the best reading! ❤️ Today as always, I’m super excited to bring you a new post to the blog, this time one dedicated to the authors of these books more than the books themselves, you know? 👏🏻 It will be about those books that impacted me a lot or left me blow away because of their outstanding and impressive writing styles, so because we’ll be talking about writing styles, we’ll talk about the talent that these authors have when creating stories, this time I’ll highlight five different authors and five of what I personally think are their best works so far. 😍 
This post will obviously be 100% my personal opinion, I know we all have different views about these authors and the books I’ll mention, and that’s fine, but I still wanted to make it clear.
In this case, I have unwittingly and unintentionally chosen five authors of whom I have already read more than one book, and I think that somehow that has made me really impressed with their level of writing, which has only been growing and evolving for the better. 😊 Besides that, I love these five stories, and I think they’re pretty heart-hitting, which I didn’t do on purpose either, lol, but I guess they’re my kind of book, so it makes sense that they’re the ones I’ve chosen. ⚡️ 

What do I mean by “Shocking Writing Styles”? 🤔 Well, with this, and as I already mentioned as my personal opinion, they’re those styles that leave me really impressed, and with that “WOW” feeling after reading them, you know? They’re those readings that make me feel almost present inside the stories and super close to the characters, those that invite me to get really involved with what’s happening and feel each situation like my own, you know? Those kinds of feelings of realism and engagement are, for me, feelings that only a very advanced and good writing style can achieve. 🙌🏻 🙌🏻 🙌🏻 Sometimes this kind of reading can take you through a lot of emotions even, and that’s a big plus for me, because I’m that kind of reader that likes to feel very intensely what’s happening when I read a book; otherwise it can still be an enjoyable and light reading, but it won’t have that same meaning for me.
As the last point and to start the post, I want to clarify that with all this, I don’t think that the lightest and funniest readings can’t have an incredible writing style; in fact, I don’t think it has anything to do with that, but most with the author’s personal style and their way of telling stories. 🤩 

Now yes, without further ado, I hope you can find new readings to add to your TBR, readings that I hope will take you to travel incredible journeys, dream, love, cry and live unforgettable moments together with the characters. 🥰 I love YOU 💕, thanks for the love of always & now yes, I hope you enjoy it and LET’S BEGIN!!! 🌪 

Top 5 | Stop Doing These Things & Be a Stress-free Blogger 💻

 🌟 Hi, guys! I hope you’re having a wonderful day full of the best readings and the most incredible moments. ❤️Today I feel SO SO excited to share this spontaneous post with you, I confess that I had other plans for today, in fact, plans that I’ll not reveal because I’ll be carrying them out later, but hey, this topic came up in my mind very suddenly, and I want to take advantage of this inspirational moment to share with you these 5 key points that have helped me over time to blog stress-free. 👏🏻 Of course, I don’t have the absolute truth on any subject, but I always try to speak to you from my own experience and I hope together we can grow and learn from each other that’s the most important thing, so my comments are open to all of you, so you can also share your experiences and let me know what you think about each point that we’ll touch next. 🥰

I know exactly how blogging with stress feels like, and it’s not fun at all. I’ve been blogging for more than 4 years and I’ve gone through all the mind stages, so little by little I’ve been adapting myself and I’ve been going through different facets to which you’re exposed when you are a blogger 🥺, in this case, a book blogger, but I talk about any content from the blogger world in general. This isn’t the first time I’ll talk about blogging and my experience in this regard, it’s the first time that I’ll touch precisely on the subject of stress and I’ll focus on those things that YOU SHOULD NOT DO in order to avoid this state and get into a nicer one to obviously enjoy the experience because, at the end of the day, we all started on this because we have something to say and a lot to share, and then we stay because we’re passionate about it and it makes us happy, so I think blogging is a wonderful tool for expression and I would like to be able to convey to you those things that I should have stopped focusing on to fully enjoy it. 😍
Now without further ado, I hope you enjoy the post a lot & that it’s somehow useful to you. Thanks for always being there for me 💞 and let’s GET STARTED! 🌟 

Top 5 | Wonderful Descriptive Books 🌲

 🌲 Hi guys, I hope you’re having a wonderful day, full of good readings.❤️ Today I’m super excited to come back with a top 5/recommendation post, this time all about books with beautiful descriptions. 👏🏻 
Lately, I’ve been working a lot on my WIP because I’m participating in NaNoWriMo, and because of this I’ve realized my weaknesses at the time of writing, and I think that my biggest weak point and where I really need to focus is on the descriptive scenes. 🥺 So thinking about this a lot has inspired me to create the list of books that I bring you today, and not only I adore all the books that I’ll mention below, but I also want to make this post as a kind of recognition to all these incredible authors for their wonderful work in creating the most beautiful descriptive scenes that make each chapter atmospheric and even almost poetic. 😍 
As I’ve mentioned in a few posts in the past, I’m not the biggest fan of over-descriptive plots that can spend hundreds of pages talking about weather and tree shapes, but I do appreciate it a lot when I find the right amount of descriptions about the surroundings or even about the characters because it gives depth to the plot and they can make us feel almost like we are there within the story experiencing everything alongside with the characters. 😊
It’s a great tool to bring stories to life, so today I’m going to share with you my 5 favorite books with these characteristics.
I hope you enjoy it a lot, that this is something of your interest, and above all, that you can find new titles to add to your TBR, which always makes me very happy & now, without further ado, let’s get started! 🌲

Top 5 | Books with Morally-Gray Main Characters 🔥

 🔥 Hi, guys! I hope you’re having a wonderful day & a great start to the week, as I always tell you, I hope you’re also enjoying all your readings.❤️ Today I’m super excited to return with another top 5 that could also be a recommendation post because I love each one of these books with all my heart, so obviously, I highly recommend them, especially if, as the title says, you enjoy the morally-gray main characters. 👏🏻 What do I mean by this? Well, I know that we all have different concepts about what a “morally-gray” character is, for me, this means having a character who’s capable of doing anything to achieve his goals, characters that have dark actions or do something immoral during his journey or can also refer, in my personal opinion, to those characters that change as time passes and become vengeful and power-hungry. Today I’ve brought all those types of characters in these incredible 5 books, this time I wanted to focus on the main characters as such because I’ve read other books with these types of characters but they have secondary roles or the “villains” role as such, you know? so I wanted to put them aside to bring you this type of character as the main focus of the plot. 😊 

I hope this type of recommendation is for you and is something that you can enjoy, you know that I always try to bring you very varied recommendations & tops, so that no matter what your jam is you can find something for you, so if this time this is not something you interested in, that’s ok and I respect it, soon I bring another with brave characters and more of the heroes type, which I also personally love. 🥰 

I love you ALWAYS, thank you for the love and support you gave me and above all for your kind words about the new look of the blog 💞, with which I’m super happy, you can see that I’ve changed the fonts because it seemed to me that was too small before and it was very difficult to read, so I hope now it feels more comfortable for you. 🥺
I hope you enjoy it a lot, go get yourself something to drink and eat, make yourself comfortable, and enjoy the top 5 … LET’S START! 🔥 

The Longest Books in my Physical TBR 📔

📔 Hi, guys! I hope you’re having the most beautiful day EVER & above all, that you’re enjoying your readings right now, which you always know I would love to know about in the comments.❤️ Today I’ve decided to come with a kind of different top 5, lately, I’ve been focusing on organizing the books that I already own in my physical and electronic TBR, therefore I’ve realized that I have several books in my physical TBR that are actually books with SO MANY pages, they’re really very large, they could easily be deadly weapons lol & although it seems crazy… they’re books that I really want to read 👏🏻 , but I’ve been putting them aside because they’re huge, and that intimidates me a bit. Now that I’m trying to be a more “organized” person or at least organized in the Sofi way, you know? I thought that it would be a good time to organize myself and share the process with you, cause you know I LOVE making lists to talk about with you. 😍

My goal is to share with you these huge but beautiful books I own, to know what you think about them since that helps me a lot and finally put them aside to prioritize them at some point, I’m thinking of putting together a floating shelf maybe, to put them all there and maybe I should at least read 2 or 3 of these beasts a year and I would feel better about myself! 😊
So I hope you like this idea, that maybe inspires you to organize your own shelves a bit as well, cause sometimes we must prioritize our babies with more pages and give them the attention they deserve. I know, my loves, they’re very intimidating, but we can do it! 🙌🏻
As always, I can’t start without first thanking you for the kind support you give me with each post & for the love I feel every day being part of this beautiful community, thank you from my heart 🥺 & now, without further ado, let’s get started! 📔
