A beautifully written book that was a bit over my head

December 31, 2016 by genericwhitegirl Leave a Comment

I’m not sure what this book was about, but I’m sure it’s something important. This book reminded me of something I might read in high school or college with a lot of themes and symbolism that were totally over my head. But if I learned anything, it’s to recognize when I’m reading a book that has themes and symbols (read: every book, I guess).

Book exchange!!

December 30, 2016 by tillie 1 Comment

Thank you so much to Jelina for all this awesome stuff! Towers of stuff, weird facts about the Czech Republic. CHOCOLATE. And two awesome books that I am looking forward to read. Thank you especially for the little notes about why you like them so much. Makes me look forward to them all the more. Also now I definitely have to sign up for CBR9. Thanks I guess. ;) (Also I see your creative lettering is already paying off! SO cool!)
