"Another secret of the universe: sometimes pain was like a storm that came out of nowhere. The clearest summer could end in a downpour. Could end in lightning and thunder" -Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe • • • Here I am again posting about my favourite book... But honestly this last few days have been really important to me and I've found myself remembering some quotes from the book that can really apply to how my life is playing out, this book has given me strength in times of need while also cheering me up and encouraging me to move on 😊😊😊 in short this book has a very special place in my heart and after graduating from college (yesterday) I just thought it deserved yet another post. • • • #book #books #bookquote #bookquotes #bookishquote #bookishquotes #bookstagram #bookishfriday #bookishfridaynight #aristotleanddantediscoverthesecretsoftheuniverse #bookhaul #bookporn #booknerds #ilovebooks #problemsofabooklover #problemsofabooknerd #read #reading #reader #lifeofareader

"Life is made of so many moments that mean nothing. Then one day, a single moment comes along to define every second that comes after. Such moments are tests of courage, of strength" An Ember in the Ashes • • • I'm finally back!!!! I've missed posting lately 😭😭 but there were so many things going on that I just didn't have any time at all... Anyhow I'm hoping things are back to normal and that I'll be able to go on with life. Who is excited about the 3rd instalment of the Ember series? Obviously me... I can't wait for April 2018 (says the girl that still is waiting on some new releases of 2017 😅 honestly I regret NOTHING) • • • #book #books #bookstagram #bookquote #bookquotes #bookishquotes #bookishquote #anemberintheashes #atorchagainstthenight #areaperatthegates #bookquoteoftheday #bookporn #booksbooksbooks #ilovebooks #booksandflowers #lifeofareader #problemsofabooklover #problemsofabooknerd #booknerd #bookdragon #read #reader #booklove

"People are complicated puzzles, always trying to piece together a complete picture, but sometimes we get it wrong and sometimes we're left unfinished. Sometimes that's for the best. Some pieces can't be forced into a puzzle, or at least they shouldn't be, because they won't make sense" -History is All You Left Me • • • Happy Saturday!! I'm really tired today and I can't wait to go to bed. I just finished Vicious and I loved it! It's also the first book I've finished in a while (I'm looking at you university stuff 😑) and I'm ready to start catching up with my tbr! Also Monday is a national holiday so I'll sleep like I haven't in a looooong time.

"The last time she was up here, she had been... Starting up at the sky and dreaming of stars. Now she looked down and plotted flames" -And I Darken • • So here I am on Saturday feeling really tired and sort of annoyed 😑😑😑 and I just have the feeling that next week is going to be so horrible and hard and I don't wanna deal with it... Yeah... On other news I started defacing TFIOS and I don't know how I feel about it, but we'll see how it goes. • • #book #books #bookish #bookishlife #bookishgirl #bookstagram #bookshelf #bookworm #bookaholic #booknerd #bookquotes #bookishlove #bookaddict #bookaddict #bookaholic #bookshelves #bookishlove #bookdragon #bookstore #bookhaul #bookhaul #read #reading #problemsofabooknerd #problemsofabooklover #currentlyreading

"One must always be careful of books and what is inside them, for words have the power to change us" -Clockwork Angel • • • So Sunday's over and I did absolutely nothing... Except listen to "Evermore" on repeat, it was beautiful and I loved every second. This remake of Beauty and the Beast totally stole my heart and I want to go watch it again and I very well might do so. I'm going to enjoy it so much 😍😍 • • • #booknerd #bookstagram #bookgram #bookish #bookishlife #bookaholic #bookaddict #booksandphotos #books #bookworm #bookishness #booklover #bookphotos #read #reading #book #readerslife #bookdragon #bookishphotos #bookishpictures #bookhaul #bookporn #areaderslife #problemsofabooklover #tbr #currentlyreading

"Do your research, I'm not a hero... I'm a high functioning sociopath!" -Sherlock Holmes So... I guess I finally gave in and started watching Sherlock again... I REGRET NOTHING! It is the best series I've ever stumbled upon and since I love it so much I may have to start getting some merch... On other news I've had the worst headache I've had in a while 😑😑 🙃😋🙃😋🙃😋🙃 #bookishgirl #bookgram #bookish #bookishlife #bookaholic #bookaddict #booksandphotos #books #bookworm #bookishness #booklover #bookphotos #read #reading #book #readerslife #bookdragon #bookishphotos #bookishpictures #bookhaul #bookporn #areaderslife #problemsofabooklover #booksandtea #booksandphotos #bookshelf #onmyshelf #acotar #acomaf #acowar #sherlock

"Wylan's legs gave out and he sat down hard, right there in the middle of the road, and he couldn't bring himself to to care because the tears were coming and there was no way he could stop them. They gusted through his chest in ragged, ugly sobs. He hated that Jesper was seeing him cry, but there was nothing he could do, not about the tears, not about any of it. He buried his face in his arms, covering his head as if, were he to only will it strongly enough, he could vanish." -Leigh Bardugo, Crooked Kingdom. • • • Happy Saturday! I have a long weekend ahead of me and I am certainly looking forward to reading as much as I possibly can, and since it's been raining like crazy I have more excuses to snuggle up and read to my hearts content. Also I just started an anime called "Snow White With the Red Hair" it's too cute and insta-love that I couldn't help myself from staying up late watching it. Anyway, I Hope you all have a nice weekend! • • • #book #bookstagram #crookedkingdom #booksandflowers #bookquotes #bookquote #bookishquote #bookishquotes #bookquoteoftheday #bookquoteoftheweekend #bookporn #cozyreading #cozyreads #bookishlife #booksbooksandmorebooks #bookishlifestyle #bookishnovember17 #bookishnovember #bookqueen #problemsofbeinganerd #problemsofabooklover #bookishheart #ilovebooks #read #readingtime

"Yes, I am a dreamer. For a dreamer is one who can only find his way by moonlight, and his punishment is that he sees the light of dawn before the rest of the world." -Oscar Wilde. • • • Yazz to Tuesdays! Even more so after a long weekend. No Monday blues for me! Also I've been in a classics sort of mood, just yesterday I started re-reading Alice in Wonderland and today as I was browsing the bookstore I found a collection of Oscar Wilde's works... I was so tempted 😍😍 maybe I'll go back for it, I haven't made up my mind yet but it is a perfect book for this pre-Halloween season. Ugh! The struggle is real 🤓 (lol how annoying is that?) • • • #book #books #bookstagram #bookspines #shelfie #bookishtuesday #bookishthings #bookporn #bookhaul #bookquote #bookquotes #bookishquote #bookishquotes #bookquoteoftheday #problemsofabooknerd #problemsofabooklover #lifeofareader #bookstore #booksbooksandmorebooks #booksbooksbooks #bookishlife #booklover #bookworm #bookishoctober #bookishchallenge #tbr

"Life had it's seasons, and the season of letting go would always come, but there was something very beautiful in that, in letting go. Leaves were always graceful as they floated away from the tree." -Benjamin Alire Sáenz, The Inexplicable Logic of My Life • • • Wednesday is here already! And September is also almost over... That went by pretty fast (and honestly I've read and finished only one book 😱) but I'm trying to not put any pressure on myself, I've had to start learning (very recently) that it doesn't matter how many books I read in a month as long as I enjoy what I'm reading... So yeah, that's that. I'll probably just go watch a movie or an anime or an anime movie! Or all three of them! 😋😋 I'm really sorry about the rambling. • • • #book #books #bookishquotes #bookstagram #bookishquote #bookquotes #bookquote #booksandmaps #bookismap #bookishmaps #bookporn #bookishworld #bookishseptember #bookishquotesilove #bookquoteoftheday #booksbooksandmorebooks #slytherin #slytherinpride #bookishlove #bookqueen #problemsofabooklover #problemsofabooknerd #bookdragon

"If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn't. And contrary wise, what is, it wouldn't be. And what it wouldn't be, it would. You see?" -Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Lewis Carroll. • • • I'm FINALLY reading Heartless!! I've had this book for a while now, but I just didn't feel like reading it... And then I watched a bunch of old whimsical movies and I just had to give it a try. I just started it today, so I can't say I'm in love yet, but I can say that I'm enjoying Marisa Meyer's writing, even if it makes me really hungry. Anyway, I probably won't get too far today since I'm pretty tired and sleepy; but so far so good. 🤓💤 • • • #book #books #bookstagram #bookishquotes #bookishquote #bookishquotes #bookishquote #bookquoteoftheday #bookish #heartless #seaofbooks #booksbooksandmorebooks #booksbookbooks #bookishthoughts #bookishthursday #problemsofabooknerd #problemsofabooklover #booknerd #bookdragon #bookishqueen #bookporn #currentlyreading #tbr #bookhaul #lifeofareader #ilovebooks #wonderland #aliceinwonderland #queenofhearts

"Everyone is afraid of something. We fear things because we value them. We fear loosing people because we love them. We fear dying because we value being alive. Don't wish you didn't fear anything. All that would mean is that you didn't feel anything." -Lord of Shadows, Cassandra Clare • • • Happy Monday!! But, question. Is it true that Queen of Air and Darkness comes out next year?!? If so, my life has been saved, if it's not... Well, I'll go cry in a corner. 🤓 Also, tomorrow is Warcross day!!!! I'm super excited, I can't wait for my copy. • • • #book #books #bookstagram #bookstagramflatlay #bookstagramchallenge #bookquotes #bookquotes #bookishquotes #bookishquote #bookishqueen #lordofshadows #bookquoteoftheday #seaofbooks #booksandflowers #bookishmonday #booksbooksandmorebooks #booksbooksbooks #ilovebooks #booksandtea #booklover #problemsofabooknerd #problemsofabooklover #bookishlife #lifeofareader

"Where will you go when the clock strikes twelve? What will you do when you face yourself? How will you live, knowing what you've done? How will you die, if your soul's already gone?" -The Midnight Star, Marie Lu. • • • Happy Saturday!! I'm currently reading The Midnight Star by Marie Lu because Warcross comes out this coming Tuesday and I can't wait for my copy to arrive!!! I've been waiting on this book ever since she announced it, and when she released the cover I was completely blown away. 😋 Anyway, Tuesday is fast approaching and I'll be sure to prepare myself to read this one. 🤓 • • • #book #books #bookstagram #boolshelf #bookshelves #bookishrainbow #bookshelfporn #bookish #bookquote #bookquotes #bookquoteoftheday #bookishquotes #bookishquote #warcross #themidnightstar #booksbooksandmorebooks #bookporn #bookishsaturday #bookworm #lifeofabookworm #problemsofabooknerd #problemsofabooklover #bookdragon #bookstack #bookstacks #booklover #bookhaul #bookchallenge #ilovebooks

"I've become this happiness scavenger who picks away at the ugliness of the world, because if there's happiness tucked away in my tragedies, I'll find it no matter what. If the blind can find joy in music, and the deaf can discover it with colors, I will do my best to always find the sun in the darkness because my life isn't one sad ending—it's a series of endless happy beginnings." -More Happy Than Not, Adam Silvera. • • • Happy Wednesday! And #readabookday 🤓 I guess I'm seeing a trend this week to show Both of my Adam Silvera books while I wait for my third one to arrive. Well I'm dead tired today so please, do forgive my lack of things to say. I haven't been able or in the mood to read and that just makes me angry, plus I ran out of anime to watch.

"Before I nodded off, I thought about what my dad had said- that life wasn't all nice and neat like a book, and life didn't have a plot filled with intelligent characters who said intelligent and beautiful things. But he wasn't right about that. See, my dad said intelligent and beautiful things. And he was real. He was the most real thing in the entire world. So why couldn't I be like him?" -The Inexplicable Logic of my Life, Benjamin Alire Sáenz • • • Monday blues!! In honour of my Monday anxiety I bring the most relatable, heartwarming, beautiful contemporary reads I own (note that The Inexplicable Logic of my Life is missing because I can't find it at any bookstores where I live). Also I needed to post this picture because I finished Your Lie in April on Saturday and I'm still trying to put myself back together. I learned something about anime, NEVER JUDGE A SLICE OF LIFE ANIME ON ITS COLOUR PALETTE!!! It's a trap 😭😭 • • • #book #books #bookstagram #bookishquotes #bookishquote #bookquotes #bookquote #theinexplicablelogicofmylife #aristotleanddantediscoverthesecretsoftheuniverse #historyisallyouleftme #morehappythannot #afterworlds #contemporaryreads #booksandflowers #bookstack #problemsofabooknerd #problemsofabooklover #lifeofareader #bookporn #bookishlife #booklover #bookmonday #bookishmonday

"Water was something he loved, something he respected. He understood its beauty and its dangers. He talked about swimming as if it were a way of life" -Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe • • • So.... Death Note movie... Where to begin with this one? I'd probably give it a 6 out of ten (ignoring the fact that I love the anime and manga with all my heart and keeping it as a completely separate thing from the original) now as for favourite characters, it has to go to L and Ryuk, I specially enjoyed how cunning Ryuk was, he was less of an spectator and more of a catalyst for the plot. My problem with this move however went to how it was not a psychological movie and everything was very straight forward (I guess this had to do with the targeted audience and the fact that the west seems to prefer action packed movies); I'm still deciding if I liked the ending or if it was just an attempt at mesmerising the audience (Light finally showed his smarts lol). As for characters I didn't like... Maybe Mia but I did like the fact that she wasn't dumb as in the original, she was just a moody teenager with some cunning of her own. Light on the other hand was not as calculating as I'd want him to be and he basically allowed everyone to pressure him into doing stuff. Apart from all of this... My biggest let down was the touch on the meaning of justice it was hinted at but never really explored; I hope that if we get a second movie to tie up all loose ends we will get more onto that, after all it is an essential part of the original story. • • • If you read all of my rambling... Thank you, you are very kind 😅😅 I just have a lot of respect for the original work. But apart from all that... LOOK AT MY READING CORNER!!! I love it, it's cozy, nice and I get to relax and read there all the time 😋😋😋 • • • #book #books #bookstagram #bookishsaturday #deathnotenetflix #deathnote #bookporn #bookshelf #bookshelfporn #harrypotter #andidarken #sixofcrows #heartless #crookedkingdom #bookquotes #bookquote #bookishquote #bookishquotes #readingcorner #bookqueen #bookhaul #bookishlife #lifeofareader #problemsofabooknerd #problemsofabooklover #read #reading

"There is true in stories. There is truth in one of your paintings boy, or in a sunset or a couplet from Homer. Fiction is truth, even if it's not a fact. If you believe only in facts and forget stories, your brain will live, but your heart will die" -Lord of Shadows, Cassandra Clare • • • Today felt like a Cassandra Clare quote kind of day and since I'm in love with Lord of Shadows why not take the opportunity? If I'm being real Lord of shadows in second on my top 3 Shadowhunter books (First obviously goes to Clockwork Princess and third to Clockwork angel 😋) but aside from that, there's not much to say except to comment on the fact that I may be at the start of a slump so I'm taking my time and slowly going through Deathly Hallows, no pressure at all. Also I think I've run out of bookish pictures but I may have enough for this week, I think I'll take some new ones on Saturday but we'll see. • • • #book #books #bookstagram #bookquotes #bookquote #bookishquote #bookishquotes #bookquoteoftheday #bookishday #booksandcoffee #booksandwriting #lordofshadows #bookporn #booksbooksandmorebooks #bookshelfporn #ilovebooks #bookworm #bookishlife #lifeofareader #problemsofabooklover #problemsofabooknerd #bookishlove #booklover #booklover #ilovebooks
