(Actually, book 2 is my least favourite that I've read so far, but apart from that, it just gets better and better! Not that I want to put you off book 2. It's great. But out of the seven wonderful Percy books I've read, it's the least wonderful, if I had to pick a least wonderful. It's still wonderful.

Quirky, too. The chapter titles were the best, and I still remember the one about three old ladies knitting the socks of death.

Book hauls are fun all around. Fun to acquire, fun to photograph and talk about, and fun to actually read. :)<br /><br />On my library stack, I have the first Percy Jackson book (because as usual, I am fashionably late to such book crazes), Winter, and Blue Lily, Lily Blue! What is it about that title? And that gorgeous cover? Eep, I can't wait to read it--and you probably can't wait for me to read it either, I imagine.

Thank you. :D (I do rather like your Words board though; I might stalk it one day.)<br /><br />Book deprevation is the worst torture to be afflicted with.

It's quite far back, though, you'll have a long way to scroll. You should get the Pinterest button on your browser? I've got a little Pinterest icon on the right of my search bar; if I click it it gives me the option to Pin any of the photos on the page I'm on. And when I hover over any picture on any website, the red P appears in the corner. This saves time for everyone. (Not that I don't think scrolling back through my Words board would be a lovely experience. It would.) (Alternately you could just save the image to your docs and then, on Pinterest, use the option of uploading your own picture. There is that.)<br /><br />Ha! You're welcome ;)<br /><br />I'm v sorry for your suffering, my friend. Book deprivation is a terrible evil. I hope you can stay strong. #SupportAshley2k16Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08057480293595295502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-797055056494841024.post-85031377616032272212016-11-30T03:29:57.221+00:002016-11-30T03:29:57.221+00:00Books in trees. *flails* *runs around in circles* ...Books in trees. *flails* *runs around in circles* BOOKS and TREES! My two favorite things!<br /><br />Ahem. <br /><br />The last photo is my favorite if you've not gathered. <br /><br />Soooo, that Rilke pin. What board did you pin it too? Because I rather like it and want to pin it too. And now I want to read Rilke! And the Wolves of Mercy Falls. . .<br /><br />Why are you doing this to me? Making me look at beautiful glorious books?! I want to read now. <br /><br />I agree with what you said about suffering and writing. Like I'm suffering right now because I can't go read books (after this I have to work on an essay :/ ). So I might just go write a story or something about books and it will be wondrous and everyone will love it. And when they ask what my secret is, I'll answer, "Suffering in the form of book deprivation." And they shall all shiver at the very thought! (This is getting melodramatic. I need sleep.)a.n.g.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03667996517318905980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-797055056494841024.post-3545802621795747912016-11-21T17:59:54.601+00:002016-11-21T17:59:54.601+00:00I am SO keen to read Nevernight after reading your...I am SO keen to read Nevernight after reading your review!!!Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08057480293595295502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-797055056494841024.post-14720776878757798992016-11-21T17:58:33.876+00:002016-11-21T17:58:33.876+00:00I did!
