My 2023 In Books

Hello all! I haven’t kept up with this blog in a while, and sadly 2023 was truly not my year (Insert Friends themed song) but like the theme song of FRIENDS, books were definitely there for me last year, and I did have a great book-ish year.

My goal was to read 3 books of 400 pages or more, and I read 6. 


I ended up reading 26 books. My top 5 books of 2023 were: 


5 -  Educated by Tara Westover.

4 - The Wedding Sewing Circle by Jennifer Ryan.

3 - Tomorrow And Tomorrow And Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin.

2 - The Light Pirate by Lilly Brooks- Dalton.

1 - The Collected Regrets of Clover by Mikki Brammer.


Some of the books I read were really not planned. Honestly I am a fiction lover gal and reading 3 memoirs was new for me, but all 3 memoirs were absolutely fantastic.
 My goal this year is to read 35 books. The biggest challenge is to read all of my TBR books seating and collecting dust. I will also be writing more reviews and getting back to my old routines. Sometimes we have to accept that not every year is our year, and we have to rise from those not so good moments, accept, and move on with those little things that truly makes us happy. 


Happy New Year to all! And do tell me, what were some of your favorite 2023 reads?

Cheers and Ciao to a blessed and bookish 2024!

A little about me.

Hola world! My name is Andrea and I was born in the beautiful country of Colombia. I developed a love for traveling from my abuelita, who is not afraid of a plane ride. I enjoy submerging myself in a good thriller novel, while indulging in uno or dos cafecitos. Cafecito with Drea was born from my addiction to caffeine (yes I admit it) and because writing, reading, and drinking coffee for me make me who I am. Welcome to my blog and I hope I can inspire to get out of your comfort zone, pick up a book or two, live a little louder, and stay wild. Salud!

Mexican Gothic Review

I took this book with me on a beach trip to Cancun, and so glad I did. Just a little background of Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno-Garcia, tells the story of Mexican socialite Noemí Taboada. Noemí is sent to visit her cousin Catalina who has been sending frantic letters to Noemí’s father in Mexico City. Catalina lives in high place with her English husband and his family. The letters spoke of Catalina seeing ghosts on the walls of the house, which immediately made Noemí’s father worry and sent her on the first train to El Triunfo, which is where High place is located🖤 🐛Drea’s Take: i couldn’t put it down! Even at 2:00 AM, freaking out I had to keep reading! What I loved about this book was the references to 1950s Mexico, and it instantly takes you back to old movies with Pedro Infante (who is referenced in the book) The book is set in the Golden age of Mexican cinema, with ghosts? What else can a girl ask for! The author even made a Spotify playlist to go with the book! So, should yo...
