I Love Books - Tumblr Posts

I don't like using Goodreads because the site layout is very unpleasant to me, so I'll do it here.

I stumbled with this book while scrolling through Pinterest and I decided to read because I needed a book to get me into reading again. It didn't really help me with my reading but I was able to finish it in three days.

The story is about a girl that has a relationship with an older woman and this relationship has a big impact in her life. Like a really HUGE attachment. And I loved it, really.

Everything about the MC screamed "me" and I love when I can see myself in characters. And sometimes I see myself in both characters (there's this parallel about them).

Anyway, I found it very intriguing.

Please if you're seeing this, recommend a book to me, I'm dying to read new books but none intrigues me 🥲

I admire these people for the passion they give in saying those lines, as much as the script - writers who came up with those lines ;)

So true. Where do people come up with these inspirational and profound quotes?! It's like a revolution! 0-0

Victor Hugo on reading.

Fuck heroes. Give me a morally questionable character that won't change themself for the world, but will change the world for their child/goal

Do authors go to their mothers and say "Mother, mother, I killed these teenagers' favourite character, are you proud of me?'

‘The Great Gatsby’ by F. Scott Fitzgerald [Book Review]

Rating: 5/5

Summary: The story is set in 1920′s and it is fully narrated in the first person. Nick Carraway moved in to the Long Island in hope of starting a new life. What he didn’t notice was that the mysterious, wealthy and the host of the best parties, Gatsby, is his neighbor. And one day, he received an invitation, (which is very rare as people went there without invitations) to one of Gatsby’s exclusive parties. Little by little, Nick got to know Gatsby more and he was definitely not the kind of person one presumed he was.

My Opinion: This is one of the books I will never forget. Beautifully written, this book has both luxury and romance in its best form. The story is very simple but gripping. I think, everyone should read this book as it is one of the best classics of American literature. It is humorous as much as heartbreaking. The characters are very developed and relatable. I could find similarities of those characters with the people I know. The ending of the book broke my heart, as it will break anyone’s. Still I’ll never stop recommending this book because the heartbreak is worth it.

Favourite Character: Gatsby is definitely my favourite character among all. His determination and hard work is truly inspiring. His loyalty to a friend and the sacrifice he was ready to make for a love made me fall in love with him. He deserved a lot more than this.

Favourite Quotes: “He smiled understandingly--much more than understandingly. It was one of those rare smiles with a quality of eternal reassurance in it, that you may come across four or five times in life.”

‘The Three Musketeers’ by Alexandre Dumas [Book Review]

Rating: 5/5

Genre: Adventure/Historical-Fiction

Summary: During the reign of King Louis XIII, an ambitious young man, d’Artagnan, aspiring to be one of the king’s musketeers come to Paris, where he meets the famous three musketeers; Athos, Porthos and Aramis. Along the way, they have to overcome the conspiracy of the Cardinal and his ally.

My Opinion: This classic adventure is very engaging and humorous. I usually don’t get attached with the adventure genre in books. But this one kept me entertained. This book contains such hilarious dialogues that I couldn’t help laughing out loud. The characters make very smart remarks too; which is quite impressive. The characters are varied and likeable. The protagonists as well as the antagonists are very brave in nature. The best part of this novel is a female antagonist. The concept is very unique considering the time period when it was written. At that time women were considered very delicate and soft natured. On the contrary the Lady de Winter in this novel displayed a very heinous character.

Favourite Characters: Aramis was the best musketeer in my opinion. He valued bravery as well as morality. On the other hand, the intelligence he showed at the time when needed was very admirable. I also liked the characterization of the Duke of Buckingham, though it was a minor one. His behaviour is very charming. The love he had for the queen, Anne of Austria, is very fascinating.

Quote:  “I do not cling to life sufficiently to fear death.”

Bookish habits :)

Thanks

@cleo-queen-of-pirates for my first tag ^-^ Do you have a certain place at home for reading?
 There’s this couch my the window in my apartment that’s beautiful to read by. I read in bed a lot and usually wherever I’m eating 😅 Bookmark or random piece of paper? I have a confession… I’m a book page folder. Please don’t hate me.
 Can you just stop reading or do you have to stop after a chapter/a certain amount of pages?
 usually if the character does something stupid or something I knew was coming happens I throw the book down at whatever part it is and leave to cool of for a bit. I can usually stop anywhere, dont usually end at chapters sections.
 Do you eat or drink while reading? 
 All the time 😹. But sometimes I forget about the food and just get caught up in the book.
 Music or TV while reading?
 No. No. No.
 Reading at home or everywhere? 
 Home but I’m usually frequently interrupted by parent and my sister. I read out a lot but can’t usually focus as much. Car reading? Only for small intervals of time. 
 Reading out loud or silently in your head? If I read aloud for some reason it just goes over my head. So silently in my mind but opinions always aloud. Character does something stupid everyone will know, even if they don’t understand the context 😹. 
 Do you read ahead or even skip pages? 
 Sometimes I’ll open to a random page and skim it over. But we all know how that end…spoilees. But no. Sometimes I can skim over paragraphs and not focus on the sentences but I don’t think I’ve ever skipped full pages.
 Breaking the spine or keeping it like new? 
 Always breaking them 😭. Sorryyyyy. Do you write in your books? I highlight a lot when it’s my own copy and I’m planning to keep it but no. No writing. ☺️Please feel free to try this post: @bookwild @books-n-quotes @diaryofabookgirl @j-eclerstern @readingismylife @liviablackthorn @softclary @bookishshenanigans @lady-midnight @thedemigodlunarofartime @books-are-my-life20
