Haila’s comments from the Portal Of Books group.

Another month & hopefully another fun. read!

This time since it's October it's going to be a Spooky Read!

It's Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno-Garcia.

All I know is that this book takes place in the Mexican Countryside and involves a hunted house, I think?

Anyhow, I usually love going into a book a little blindsided to increase the element of Surprise !.

Here's the page breakdown for the reading..

it will be an open discussion so no specific timeline for discussion but NO SPOILERS PLEASE.

Who's excited to join?!

Happy Reading Everyone  💙!

للاسف خيب أمالي، حبكة ركيكة، تطور شخصيات ضعيف جدًا و تمحور القصة حول قصة حب من اول نظرة و صدفة اكتشاف مؤامرة بدون تطور احداث او تدرج.

This time there will be no page break you can read freely!

I've placed dates to add a bit of a challenge but the discussion will continue on till December 31st.


Happy Reading Everyone!

I’m REALLY surprisingly enjoying this book. I think I prefer reading poetry instead of listening to it. Many aspects reminded me of what I’m going through and felt very connected to the characters especially Yahaira.

Because I’ve been very worked up with my new job I couldn’t open new discussion chats for each day, so it will be an open discussion.

Hello Everyone!

Here's November's Pick Of The Month, which was quite happily surprising based on your votes because I've been wanting to read this book for so much!

Pages breakdown is below,

سعادة و انا اعيد قراية الكتب 😩😩♥️♥️♥️

Almost finished with it, re-living the world with it’s characters brings me such joy and happiness ♥️♥️

For those who have finished the book, what are your thoughts on it?

Unfortunately the writing style was not my favorite. I’ll be uploading the discussion pages for you guys to discuss

I switched to the Audiobook, truth be told I’m not quite enjoying the book. I’ll give it a chance until halfway through. If I still feel the same I’ll DNF it

What are your thoughts on this book so far?
