Hey!
I've been meaning to tell you how awesome your tumblr is since the day I subscribed :) Love, love, love all the stuff you post!
I also have a bit of a silly question. I've never read anything by Roald Dahl, but I've seen the pictures of his books that you posted some time ago (http://noseinabook-.tumblr.com/post/3482605442/prettybooks-by-ickle-mia) And today I saw the box set at a book-fare. They cost a small fortune, but I am so inclined to get them. Would you say that you would still enjoy reading them now? I made a huge list of books that I'd like to buy, and I just can't decide whether to get them or not :s

Thank you so much! I love your blog as well!
I definitely would still enjoy reading Roald Dahl. You could always read some of his books from the library before buying the box set though. But if you do buy it I think you’ll really enjoy his books.

Hi! With my masters thesis having taken up almost all my time this semester, I haven’t had the time to read. I want to order books this weekend so I can dive in as soon as I finally submit my thesis on Tuesday. I’d love some recommendations. I adore anything by Roald Dahl, John Green and Jane Austen. To Kill A Mockingbird, The Perks of Being A Wallflower, Dispatches From The Edge (Anderson Cooper’s memoir) and The Book Thief. Your one of my favorite blogs and I'd love your help. Thanks! =)

Thank you! Just based on John Green and Perks, I’d recommend It’s Kind of a Funny Story, Where Things Come Back and Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe. Between Shades of Gray, The History of Love and Shadow of the Wind are excellent, based on you liking The Book Thief.  I hope that helps!

"I began to realize how important it was to be an enthusiast in life. If you are interested in something, no matter what it is, go at it full speed ahead. Embrace it with both arms, hug it, love it and above all become passionate about it. Lukewarm is no good. Hot is no good, either. White hot and passionate is the only thing to be."
