I have read 20 books in 2024 and those were the most enjoyable for me. The raven cycle and the starless sea hit me right into my heart and im so happy that i finally picked them after years of thinking!
Got my hands on physical copy of tdt so I guess my reread will be happening way sooner than I planned
Ronan mimicking Adam in this scene is such a boyish of him and im so in love how Maggie Stiefvater ads this small things
I'm showing to a friend the good culture (Six of crows) and I'm realising that maybe it's the first YA book that I've read which has romance where:
There's no love triangle. They know who they are and who they love and the rest of stupidities are left behind. I'm sorry but lately EVERY FANTASY BOOK HAS ONE STUPID love triangle.
They are all so different. And so found family. They kind of know each other. The bads, the goods. But they trust and respect each other. Besides all the differences. Kaz respects Jeaper's guns just because they are sacred to him. Without even asking. Not even my friends respect my guitar the same way.
They take care of ecah other on the little details. There's no heroic saves every page (just in some of them). It's about day by day decisions.
The romance is important but almost never the main thing. It's just there, like a side effect. They have more things than "Oh I wanna kiss my crush". It's a fantasy/adventure book which is ACTUALLY a fantasy/adventure book, not a romance one.
More less, all of that. Now I want to re-read them
My crows 🤧
I totally gasped the same thing boy but not with the same emotions...
Okay, so another one great show that was cancelled by netflix to my list ✍🏻
At this point why im even trying to watch smt except for cooking shows on this platform if i already know that it will have no season 2 EVEN if show clearly ends with sort of cliffhanger ?
A moment of me realising that I have my copy of Six of Crows since 2018, when 12 year old me spent half of the night reading the last pages because she couldn't stop. Then I reread it around year and a half back, finally read the second book ( yes, took me so long to pick it up ) and annotated it. And then I did the best thing i have ever done to my books:
And I cannot stop to look at it since then every time I'm cleaning my bookshelf. Like, if this copy doesn't seems loved I don't know which one will.
I did silver edge as well! With just an acrylic paint. Does it look good? Not at all, its cracking as... But omg, does it makes me happy? Yes, yes it does
people who are against annotating or writing in books will never understand the pure joy and satisfaction i get from writing "girl what" or "she's so me" or other unintelligible useless comments at the side of the page like if you put my tumblr reblog tags in real life
My copy of The Song of Achilles got water damaged. Luckily it wasn't the first drowning for Achilles
