[gifted 📖] Review time! I asked which books you all were curious about this month, and lots of you said THE DREAMERS by Karen Thompson Walker, which is a dystopian novel about a town hit by a sleeping sickness. One day, people stop waking up; yet, as they sleep, their brain activity is higher than anything ever recorded in a human brain. Interesting, right? 👀 So, I read it and ... I liked it. Sort of. •
•
At about the halfway point, I was feeling ambivalent about THE DREAMERS, due mostly to the extremely light narration style and my struggle with disaster for the sake of disaster. However, once I finished the book, my opinion shifted. By the end, I felt that many of the characters imparted wisdom and the style ultimately suited the story. Overall? A book with a strong idea and a very quiet style. A short read, and worth picking up for the takeaways and to form your own opinion. ✨head over to the blog for the spoiler-free full review!✨

If you had to choose just one power to have, what would you choose and why? . I know I’ve asked similar questions before, but it’s one of my favorite things to dream about. If it was up to me, I would have telekinesis! Being able to move and control objects with my mind is one of my top desires. Just think of all the things you could get done! I also think of telekinesis as similar to the Force, which, more than anything, is what I’d have if it was up to me! #whpuptome . What about you?

Happy Valentine’s day, queens!! I absolutely think this is a fake holiday but that has never stopped me from thoroughly celebrating it to my heart’s content. 😉🎉 My book club ladies and I had a little Galentine’s day celebration last night complete with our favorite things, charcuterie and chocolate, and I cant wait to head home to spend tonight with my perfect Valentine. I love you so much, !! ♥️ • • PS This photo doubles as a love note to clear pouches, which I carry borrowed books around in. I am not kind to books that travel around my daily life with me, so these are game changers. 🙌🏻 • 💭 Whatcha doin to celebrate V day? 💭

[Endroits où bouquiner] . Je suis en pleine préparation de l'article sur les cafés cosy/littéraires à Paris 🛋 J'essaye de vous dénicher des petits endroits à l'abri des regards où l'on se sent comme à la maison (et qui dit visite de cafés dit essayer de résister aux pâtisseries qui vont avec). 🥧 . J'ai découvert il y a peu et ce coffee-shop est juste parfait pour bouquiner ou se retrouver entre amis 🧡 Et vous, où préférez-vous lire ? Belle journée ☀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Do you have a favorite love story? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I‘m not really into love stories that much but I always liked the story of Heathcliff and Cathy in „Wuthering Heights“. And I loved all the Disney love stories of course. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #bookstagram #books #books #beautyandthebeast #booklover #bookobsessed #mybookfeatures #madamescozyfeatures #bookaddict #reading #read #buch #b ücher #diesch öneunddasbiest #coppenrathverlag #lovestories #lesen #lesenmachtgl ücklich #bookish #bookgirl #readinggirl
Happy #shelfiesunday ! 🧡 . QOTD: Which book can you recommend that does not belong to the genres fantasy, dystopia or sci-fi? . I almost only read fantasy, YA fantasy and dystopian novels and now I'm looking for something different to read. Don't get me wrong, Fantasy is still my favourite genre 💕, I'm just looking for some variety for in between. 😅 . . 🇩🇪 Ich wünsche euch einen schönen Sonntag, ihr Lieben! 🧡 . Könnt ihr mir ein Buch empfehlen, das nicht zum Genre Fantasy, Dystopien und Sci-fi gehört? . Ich lese ja fast nur Fantasy, YA Fantasy und dystopische Geschichten und jetzt suche ich nach etwas Abwechslung.

Ora che il futuro s’era fatto corto e mi sfuggiva di mano con l’inesorabilità della sabbia che cola dentro una clessidra, mi capitava spesso di pensare al passato della mia esistenza: cercare lì le risposte con le quali sarebbe giusto morire. #orianafallaci #uncappellopienodiciliege • • • . . . #blogger #booklover #bookblog #bookaddict #bookaholic #bookphotography #booklove #book #bookgirl #bookblogger #marilenasjournal #blog #bookstagram #literature #book #letteratura #libribelli #libridaleggere #librichepassione #lettura #reader #bookporn #read #reading #instabook #libri #readingtime #bookworm #bookgirl #blogger
