Day 2: Least Favourite Books

Some of my least favourites I had to read for school, so that might be why I disliked them so much. I had to read The Pilgrim’s Progress by John Bunyan for Children’s Lit, and I barely finished it.
I read Breaking Dawn on my own time, and I couldn’t stand it. I’m not going to go to into it, since a lot of what I think has been said a million times, but if vampires do not age at all and humans age at a normal rate, why would a half vampire/half human age so quickly? Am I just being dense and missing something?
Anyways, those are two books I will never reread.

List of Book Blogs 2.0

Last week I made a list of book blogs on tumblr. You can see the list here.

It was not working temporarily, but it’s back and I added a fair bit to it. Since I’ve gotten a few requests to see it again, I thought I’d repost it. This list is very short compared to all the blogs that mainly focus on books, so if you are not on the list and should be write in my ask. If you ever want to look at this and can’t find it, there’s a link in my FAQ.

"If you take a book with you on a journey,…an odd thing happens: The book begins collecting your memories. And forever after you have only to open that book to be back where you first read it. It will all come into your mind with the very first words: the sights you saw in that place, what it smelled like, the ice cream you ate while you were reading it…yes, books are like flypaper—memories cling to the printed page better than anything else."

— Inkheart by Cornelia Funke (via bookstorecouture)

Is there any way you might consider making adult book recommendations based on HP houses? I love a good YA book as much as the next person, but I tire of reading too many because my reading level is so far beyond YA lit as is my maturity level. Plus, I've read so many YA books (future HS English teacher here), there is hardly a recommendation made that I haven't read.

Great idea! I leave for summer camp in less than a month so hopefully I'l have time.

You see, I love the feeling that I got as I finished reading The Book Thief. I long for that same feeling again but couldn't seem to find a book that would give me similar effect. Have you read it? Did you like it? And if you answered yes for both, did you read anything else that's as amazing as it? Thanks xx

Yes and I liked it very much! I have a list for books you might like here. The Shadow of the Wind is amazing and be sure not to miss Markus Zusak's I Am The Messenger. 

For books that will leave you with the same feeling, I’d say The Fault In Our Stars, A Thousand Splendid Suns and Never Let Me Go.
