What are you doing to battle off the #sundayscaries? I’m spending some more time outside with my new current read, my hubby, and my pups.
•••
After spending the day at a church picnic, I’m ready to relax in the shade with Mr. Penumbra. Rosie is happy to see that I’m finally picking this one up off my bookshelf . It has been recommended to me by so many so I’m looking forward to getting into it.
I STILL haven't seen the Avengers and so far I've blocked at least 5 different people who keep posting spoilers or memes. HOW HARD IS IT NOT TO TALK ABOUT IT FOR A WEEK AT LEAST BRUH CALM DOWN .
What other movie release are you excited for? I CAN NOT WAIT for Extremely Wicked, shockingly evil and Vile. ( goodlord that movie title is a mouth full)
Zac Efrons playing Ted Bundy aaaah .

Sorry for the lack of posts over the past few days, but I was at a gathering of instagrammers organised by the artist @yvonnecoomber, and the wifi was rather unreliable. It was lovely to be in the countryside though, and I enjoyed catching up on some reading on the train journey

Staying in a remote farmhouse for a few days definitely reinforced my love for nature, a pleasure that's been deepened since discovering the joys of nature writing over the past few years.

✨When I read this yesterday, I found it to be so deeply profound. There aren’t really words to describe this kind of magic and deep connectivity. Before seeing this posted on a page that I follow, I didn’t know about #layneredmond but since, I have done some research and have ordered her book, I will report back on my findings! (Side note: when I added my book to the cart the two books suggested were Braiding Sweetgrass & If Women Rose Rooted, so I am thinking that I will love this one as well!! Sending Sunday morning love from @thesalvageheart on this cold snowy Manitoba morning:) ❄️ :

Have you ever changed your mind about a book rating long after you’ve read it Both The Song of Achilles and The Snow Child I previously rated as 4/5 on Good Reads, but with hindsight I would actually rate them as 5/5! (This also works in reverse as there are a few books that I would also rate lower!) .
.
Also featured in this 5 stack............. .
Some absolutely essential reading - Martin Doreys ‘No. More. Plastic.’ .
The heartbreakingly brilliant, Khaled Hosseini’s -‘The Kite Runner’. .
Another book that I think is highly underrated, Stephen King’s ‘Dolores Claiborne’ . .
The first Adichie that I ever read - ‘Purple Hibiscus’ . .
The frustratingly brilliant, ‘Normal People’ by Sally Rooney. .
The beautifully dream like ‘The Water Cure’ by Sophie Mackintosh . .
. ...and last but not least...One of my childhood favourites The BFG.

A little while ago I finished Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief, so here are my spoiler free thoughts! ✨
▪️
: All the while reading this book, I kept thinking to myself that I should have read this series ten years ago. I've never had the feeling that I was too old with other YA-novels, so this was the first book for me that created that feeling. Nevertheless, I loved it and thought it was amazing.
I don't know why, but I think that if I had read it ten years ago, and reread it now, I would have given it a much higher rating. As is the case with Harry Potter for me at least, but maybe I'm making the wrong comparison since I could never know how I would feel about Harry Potter if I were reading the series for the first time now but whatever.
This book was wonderful all the same. Full of action and humour (which is an important factor to me), the story kept me interested to the very end. Then again, I'm a sucker for Greek mythology too.
From now on I'm gonna make it my mission to click every pen in the universe. Just to check.
3.5⭐/5⭐

: Tijdens het lezen bleef ik maar denken hoe Percy Jackson het perfecte boek voor jongeren was en ik bleef maar denken dat ik de serie veel eerder had moeten lezen, aangezien het een geweldig verhaal was.
Ik denk dat wanneer ik deze serie tien jaar geleden had gelezen en nu opnieuw las, ik hem wel een veel hogere score had gegeven.
Niettemin was dit boek geweldig. Vol actie en humor (wat ik erg belangrijk vind in een boek), hield het verhaal me geboeid tot het eind. Daarnaast zorgde mijn liefde voor Griekse mythologie hier ook deels voor.
Vanaf nu is het mijn doel om elke pen in het universum te klikken. Je weet maar nooit.
3.5⭐/5⭐

Q: If you could choose to have one Greek God as a parent and inherit part of their powers, which one would you choose?

It’s Sunday funday ✨
I’m finally over that cold, so I celebrated with by getting brunch with a friend & a bunch of coffee. Now I’m relaxing on the couch with my pup and watching TATBILB. I’ve watched this so many times now, no shame. The only problem is that it always makes me want to re-read the book, which I’ve already read about 5 times
Are you excited for the next movie?! I follow a bunch of the cast and it’s making me even more excited. I can’t wait to see what they do with it! The outfits, settings, characters, PETER. How long do we have to wait Qotd—who is your favorite character in TATBILB? I love Lara, Kitty (book version is so much better though) and Peter. -

Normal People by Sally Rooney has received a ton hype lately and I’ve read so many positive reviews. I enjoy the writing, Sally Rooney is clearly talented, but the story so far is “meh.” The quirkiness of the main characters is interesting and the novel in general seems to be right up my alley, however I’m not sure what direction this book is taking me. I’m reading it today and will probably finish, so I’m hoping it comes around.

Have you read this book or any other books by this author? What were your thoughts?
