Hello fellow bookworms of Tumblr I am Saku a tumblr user who loves books and reading but does so on and off some of these books I have read 2 years ago when my friend started bringing up her favourite books. Please tell me if you have read any of these and what you think in the comment section. Here is the fun part: tag friends and mention at least 3 movies/shows/books that you like and you think the friend that you are going to tag is going to like.

Love, Simon: A film that will make you meet yourself.

Summary:

Simon was a seventeen years old teenager with a fairly normal life, but with a big secret. He was afraid that his family and friends would not support him, or even see him differently. When he started talking to a boy through the internet who used the pseudonym "Blue", he fell in love with him. One day, Martin, a classmate who discovered his secret, exposed it in a blog for the whole school. After this, Simon entered into a process of acceptance of himself and his environment, where he decided to discover the true identity of "Blue".

The best part of the movie is when Simon finally meets Bram (Blue) at the Ferris wheel and they get to know each other, after emailing each other for months.

The worst part of the story, is when Martin reveals Simon's secret without his permission, simply out of revenge and resentment since his plan with Abby, didn't work.

"Love, Simon" is an American romance film based on the novel: "Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda" by Becky Arbertalli. It was released on March 16, 2018. It is a movie that makes you understand a little more the world of now and leaves us a super important message: we must accept those around us; but above all, we must accept and love ourselves as we are, and at the same time, we must face our reality.

Opinion:

We consider Love, Simon to be a film that covers topics that are very present today, such as homosexuality, the danger of social networks, and the acceptance of ourselves. However, the plot progresses very slowly, which generates that the viewer does not stay focused throughout the film.

And, We recommend this film for those people who have problems with self-acceptance, who have a secret and are afraid that they may be judged differently by their family and friends. We recommend this film for those people who have problems with self-acceptance, who have a secret and are afraid that they may be judged differently by their family and friends.

“He talked about the ocean between people. And how the whole point of everything is to find a shore worth swimming to.” - Becky Arbertalli, ‘Simon Vs. The Homo Sapiens Agenda’ 🌈 . #CurrentlyReading this book my friend lent me months ago and I’m finally close to finishing it. I saw the movie first, so now I can see the differences clear as day. Both the movie and the book are great, but I must read some college books too before I can enjoy more #contemporarybooks 😅 . . Do you watch the movie first or read the book usually? . . . #yalovin #beckyalbertalli #simonvsthehomosapiensagenda #lovesimon #bookstagram #bibliophile #本 #読書 #読者 #本が好き #bookworm #bookquotes #romance #comedy #quotes #bookish #cecitim #cartestagram #eucitesc #cititoridinromania #readersofig https://www.instagram.com/p/B1qSUZYIdCI/?igshid=1i74rnthdiekz

My 2016 in books

End of year book survey by perpetualpageturner

This reading year was a bit meh, it was an intense and stressful time for me so I didn't focus on reading that much, I also tried to read more fun and quick reads to relax so it's difficult to answer some of the questions this time lol. Let's hope for a better next year!

2016 Reading Stats Number Of Books You Read: 51 Number of Re-Reads: 1 Genre You Read The Most From: YA, Fantasy, Romance Goodreads Challenge 51/75 - not completed

Best in Books

1. Best book you read in 2016 Sooo difficult to choose... but I'll pick Six of Crows, because it's eveything I ever wanted in a book.

2. Book You Were Excited About & Thought You Were Going To Love More But Didn’t? Passenger by Alexandra Bracken, I didn't finish this one. The idea was perfect but it was so slow... it made it impossible to read. Also, The Winner's Curse by Marie Rutkowski... I was so disconnected from the story and the characters.

3. Most surprising (in a good way or bad way) book you read? Challenger Deep by Neal Shusterman, it gave me a huge mindfuck but in a really good way.

4. Book You “Pushed” The Most People To Read (And They Did)? Hm... I made my sister read Six of Crows and she loved it. And this Christmas we bought it for my cousin as a present hah.

5. Best series you started in 2016? Best Sequel of 2016? Best Series Ender of 2016? Haven't read that many series this year, but nevertheless it has to be The Raven Cycle. I was hestistant to read it because of all the hype about it but it was worth reading. I'll remember these characters for ever.

6. Favorite new author you discovered in 2016? I don't think I have one this year, I discovered a few authors but wouldn't call them favourite yet, I need to read more from them.

7. Best book from a genre you don’t typically read/was out of your comfort zone? Lol, as I said, I read a few NA as an experiment this year, they are usually silly and fun and The Deal by Elle Kennedy was exactly that.

8. Most action-packed/thrilling/unputdownable book of the year? SIX OF CROWS/CROOKED KINGDOM by LEAH BARDUGO, enough said.

9. Book You Read In 2016 That You Are Most Likely To Re-Read Next Year? A Darker Shade of Magic before reading the last book in the series. I bet this book is going to be in the answer for this question every freaking year because it deserves it.

10. Favorite cover of a book you read in 2016? Anything from Victoria Schwab always gives me covergasms... But also my copy of Ocean at the End of the Lane by Neil Gaiman is just magical.

11. Most memorable character of 2016? The whole cast of The Raven Cycle, each one of them is precious. Also Kaz Brekken because fuck me up.

12. Most beautifully written book read in 2016? Every Heart a Doorway by Seanan McGuire, weird but beautiful.

13. Most Thought-Provoking/ Life-Changing Book of 2016? Wonder by R.J. Palacio. Everyone should read this book at least once in their lifetime to reevaluate things.

14. Book you can’t believe you waited UNTIL 2016 to finally read? The Raven Boys, but I'm happy that I waited because I could binge read the whole series :3

15. Favorite Passage/Quote From A Book You Read In 2016? I had some deep and thought-provoking ones but still the one that I came back to them most was from Six of Crows: "I will have you without armor, Kaz Brekker. Or I will not have you at all." I SHIVER EVERY TIME, OKAY?

16.Shortest & Longest Book You Read In 2016? Shortest - Warm Up by V.E Schwab (15 pages) Longest - The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt (773 pages), it didn’t need to be so long though...

17. Book That Shocked You The Most More Happy Than Not by Adam Silvera because mINDBLOWN. I went into it without expectations and knowing nothing about the story and it was a crazy ride.

18. OTP OF THE YEAR (you will go down with this ship!) Kaz/Inej from Six of Crows Kell/Lila from A Darker Shade of Magic Blue/Gansey from The Raven Boys it's not possible to have one, let's be honest

19. Favorite Non-Romantic Relationship Of The Year All the relationships in the Raven Boys series. I was a little in love with how a little in love they all were with each other.

20. Favorite Book You Read in 2016 From An Author You’ve Read Previously Just so that I don't pick anything by Victoria Schwab or Leigh Bardugo, I'll say Amy & Roger's Epic Detour by Morgan Matson! That woman knows how to steal my heart.

21. Best Book You Read In 2015 That You Read Based SOLELY On A Recommendation From Somebody Else/Peer Pressure We Were Liars by E. Lockhart. Didn't like it at all, ugh the hype.

22. Newest fictional crush from a book you read in 2016? Richard Gansey III...

23. Best 2016 debut you read? And I Darken by Kristen White, something very fresh and orginial in the sea of similar YAs.

24. Best Worldbuilding/Most Vivid Setting You Read This Year? Six of Crows/Crooked Kindgom, I loved coming back to this world.

25. Book That Put A Smile On Your Face/Was The Most FUN To Read? Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda by Becky Arbertalli!!! This book should be a synonym for smile, I mean it made me cry too but it was only happy tears.

26. Book That Made You Cry Or Nearly Cry in 2016? When Breath Becomes Air by Paul Kalanithi, it's good to think about life and meaning from time to time.

27. Hidden Gem Of The Year? Challenger Deep by Neal Schusterman, more people need to know about this one.

28. Book That Crushed Your Soul? Every Last Word by Tamara Ireland Stone, I somehow connected to think book a lot and probably cried through half of it. I love it when a contemporary book just hits home with me.

29. Most Unique Book You Read In 2016? Every Heart a Doorway because it's my kind of weird.

30. Book That Made You The Most Mad (doesn’t necessarily mean you didn’t like it)? We Were Liars by E.Lockhart because what even was that... Also The Raven King a bit because for such a set-up the ending was underwhelming.

Looking Ahead

1. One Book You Didn’t Get To In 2016 But Will Be Your Number 1 Priority in 2017? Hm, I don't think I have any, I like choosing books to read on a whim, if I plan too much, I usually don't have the mood for the book that I planned to read lol.

2. Book You Are Most Anticipating For 2017 (non-debut)? Carve the Mark by Veronica Roth, I'm super curious to see other story from her

3. 2017 Debut You Are Most Anticipating? Caraval by Stephanie Garber, all the revies on GR make me anticipate this one sooo much Wintersong by S.Jae-Jones, I know only as much as the synopsis but I need it

4. Series Ending/A Sequel You Are Most Anticipating in 2017? A Conjuring of Light by V.E. Schwab, can't believe that the end is so soon T_T Also Our Dark Duet by her, too. The more Schwab the better <3

5. One Thing You Hope To Accomplish Or Do In Your Reading/Blogging Life In 2017? Hah last year I wanted to start a bookstagram but it failed, lol. So next year I just want to read great books, that's all. And reach my Goodreads goal because I failed this year (damn you anime for stealing my reading time)

6. A 2017 Release You’ve Already Read & Recommend To Everyone Don't have any!
