Anne Of The Island

This book is like a Bible to me, in between Anne's journey to getting an M.A. degree, the laughter of the girls (and Aunt) at Patty's Place, and the series of romantic and unromantic proposals, are weaved in between with words of wisdom, and descriptions of nature that tinted a rose coloured view on my perception of life. Every time I finish an L.M. Montgomery book, I find myself 150% more optimistic than I was 3 hours before. Maud's writing has that spell on me. 

I find myself being consoled by the fact that some of my own worries are experienced by Anne too, it's like reading advices from an older sister. And it makes me feel less alone in my struggle to adulthood and living up to the principles I have set on myself. 

Do you think, Diana, that being grown up is really as nice as we used to imagine it would be when we were children?
'I don't know -  there are some nice things about it,' [...] 'But there are so many puzzling things too. Sometimes I feel as if being grown up just frightened me - and then I would give anything to be a little girl again.'

'I suppose we'll get used to being grown up in time,' said Anne cheerfully. 'There won't be so many unexpected things about it by and by - though after all, I fancy it's the unexpected things that give spice to life.'

My Thoughts on the novel Heartless by Marissa Meyer (MAJOR SPOILER INCLUDED)

⚠️ WARNING: MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. ⚠️

I just finished Heartless by Marissa Meyer and oh god... How did such a good beginning has such a tragic ending? Reading this book truly felt like going down a rabbit's hole. It is an adventure, though it ended in a loud thump, I landed on my ass and the pain shot through my heart.

Books I bought during quarantine!!

I spent 70% of my pocket money buying books online since quarantine begun in March! 😭 

I kinda regret my decision in spending so much on books but whenever I look at their gorgeous spines on my bookshelves my remorse somehow turns into affections! 😂
