Ok, people. Sit down. This is my pulpit.
BOOKS. Glorious things, really. They're like TV, only in your head, to quote a rather famous telly host. You can read then for hours upon hours, without getting bored (unless you finish the book. Then get another). Books are just... amazing. Even the smell of books are amazing... I know that sounds weird, but it's true. And never let a book nerd go to a book store alone. Walking into Chapters alone is like letting five-year-olds loose, unattended, in a candy store. Really. I'd go broke, if someone wasn't there to stop me. Anyway, here are some (with stress on the some) of my favourites:
1: The Bible, of course. Always finding new things to learn.
2: LOTR/The Hobbit. I haven't read them all yet, but I will soon!
3: Eragon. Sigh. I've never ate up a book series so fast. But apparently tHERE'S GOING TO BE A FIFTH BOOK SO REJOICE
4: The Scarlet Pimpernel. Sir Percy is my acting role model. I mean, he should have been the actress, not Marguerite! Sheesh. But the 1982 movie is PERFECTION. Anthony Andrews and Jane Seymour were perfect.
5: Sherlock. All 56 short stories and 4 novels. All of them. Except that one (yes I'm going on this rant again) where tHE GIRL ALMOST MARRIED HER STEP DAD. COME ON. That was just... wrong on so many levels. I cried. Read the story to see for yourself. I'd give you the title, but I can't remember it at the moment.
I'm always looking for new stuff to read, so leave your favourites in the comments :)

Nice blog! I liked the bookshelf background. And your book rant was very amusing. "They're like TV, except in your head!". I've actually never heard that before :D
ReplyDeleteWhy thank you, Sierr! I liked it too, but for now I thought that a BOFTA background might be a bit more appropriate. And I can't remember which host said that, sadly. But it was a pin on Pinterest that I probably pinned at some point, so you could scroll through all 700+ pins of mine if you really wanted to know xD
DeleteVery nice selection of favourote books....the only ones on here that I haven't read are the Eragon ones. And I LOVE the Scarlet Pimpernel; so romantic :)
