Things I Appreciate As A Bookworm #1

There is no greater happiness than holding a physical book. Truly. Whether it be a hardback or paperback, they both share the same thrill that the ereader would find difficult. It is more than just text. It can be a symbol for a gift, a family heirloom or even showing how you have spent your hard-earned money on something that you love. It's happiness at its heart.

A physical book is very special as it gives physical experiences. You can make memories with them. Want to write notes? Of course, you can. Dog-ear them? Yeah, sure. Tear it apart because some of the text means more than the rest? Be my guest. It's different from its technological counterpart as you don't need to wait for it to charge to read. It's already there, waiting for you on the shelf. Lost your charger? Well, you don't need one with a book.

Don't get me wrong, I do like an ebook and it has saved me quite a few times but it's not the same. It doesn't quite give me the same rush of excitement of turning a gorgeously made book. It's just not possible. Plus, you cannot deny how amazing a book can act as a decoration in your home. If I am so bold, it makes a home. But not just a home, a very cosy home. The great thing is you don't really need to read the book to decorate your home. It still has the same thrill.

A Court of Mist and Fury by Sarah J. Maas

This has been a long time in the making, but here it is. A court of Mist and Fury. I think that there is now the time to definitely say something about this, especially when the next book has already come out in the series. I genuinely do love this book. I think that it is much better than the first one in the series. This is mainly because of that in which the new characters are far more likeable, and those who we had been introduced to previously have been developed. For example, with Rhysand, I have found to be far more complicated than what had already been shown in the first book. In fact, I don't think that the first book did any justice for him. In any sort of perspective. However, it has also identified that Tamlin is not all that he seems, very annoying more than anything. I think however, that it is more due to the fact of that in which it feels like it was a waste to have a whole book with him in, now that the story has developed. In this next instalment, it carr...

The Crown by Kiera Cass

It is sad you know? Seeing this all coming to an end. However, if you think about it, it won't be a complete end until i read the 'Happily Ever After' book, which has some small novellas that focus on the series. Although, i do feel that i don't really want to read it just yet as it means that it would have officially ended then for me, after all of these years. If you had been with me from the very start, my first post was actually a review of the first three books of the series. Everything seems to have changed drastically since then. If i am being totally honest, when first laying my eyes of the final cover of the selection series, may have been a little bit judgemental. Not only because of the fact that i felt, not only is it very predictable, but it would have been nice to have colours that symbolise both femminity as well as leadership. Which when looking at this at first, it makes me think of 'primary' colours that everyone uses for girls, when...
