I devoured the last half of this book. From beginning to end it was a tragic story. From Sashenka's mother, to the irony of Soviet parties at dachas, to Sashenka's fate. Overall, I'd recommend to historical fiction lovers and Russian history lovers
I got this beautiful copy of War and Peace today 📖📚#leotolstoy #warandpeace

I am heart broken that my first journey with Tolkien is over. But that's the magic of books. I'm I can return to Middle Earth when I need it the most.
Celebrating National Book Lover's Day (which is kind of every day) with a delivery #nationalbookloversday
Finished this before work this morning. I'd definitely recommend it! Although it's quite unsettling, and I did have a bit of trouble sleeping while reading. All of this was to be expected because of the a) material and b) my intense imagination
So, as most of you know, I listen to the unexplained podcast and I recently listened to the episode about the Dyatlov Pass incident. I can honestly say I have never been so unsettled yet so intrigued by a real life mystery. So, naturally I went out and bought the book mentioned in the podcast
"I can ride and wield blade, and I do not fear either pain or death" ? ? #lordoftherings #returnoftheking #ladyeowyn
Fast paced and good dialogue. Intense, but with a subject matter like this, of course it would be. 3.5/5
Literary tattoos are my favourite. It's almost the one year anniversary of this bad boy being on my thigh #harrypotter #tattoo
DOUBLE PICK. I LOVED IT SO MUCH. I really don't think there's anything else to say.
As a kid, and up until recently, I never really listened to David Bowie. My parents weren't fans, so I wasn't exposed to him as a child. And growing up, although I liked his singles, I never delved in deeper. Although I always liked the idea of his music and his image, I never made the effort. Then, he passed away. I felt like a fraud suddenly, wanting to listen to his music. But a friend said: it's never too late to start to listen to Bowie
Always my favourite part of the movies. I'm sure it will be my favourite part of the book too #tolkien #tolkientribe #firsttimer
PICK PICK PICK. As a fantasy reader I am ashamed to admit that this is my first journey with Tolkien. I tried in grade 8 and ultimately failed. However, I'm a firm believer that books come into people's lives when they are ready and I'm really glad I got to experience this series now. To say that this series will be my favourite is probably an understatement and I cannot wait to read the next one.
Dare I say that LOTR has become my all time favourite fantasy series? I'm ashamed to admit that I'm an avid fantasy reader but have never read LOTR. I am so in love it hurts #LOTR #fantasy
Can we talk about how awesome this graphic novel was? I read it a while back but I wanted to share it's awesomeness with all of you #graphicnovel #comicbook
This is my first journey with Tolkien, so far so very, very good.
Typically, I read a lot of poetry. But recently I have decided to read, write and submit more. So I am immersing myself even more into poetry. Got a nice haul from the library the other day #poetry
I don't delve into non genre fiction very often but this was a mild surprise. I really enjoyed the writer/lit mag story line and how each character was very distinctive. I found the ending somewhat anti climatic but overall an average book. 3.5/5
