The art is perfectly aligned with how the story feels. Dream like, breezy, weightless, and soft. While there are definitely supernatural creatures, sword fights and nightmares the overall story doesn't feel dark or hopeless.

I think there are places in the novel where one might want an explanation for how/why what is happening is happening. But the landscape of this world is surreal, much like a dream. You don't need to understand to feel.

I love these books. I think the last one was just as engaging but it went absolutely nowhere I thought it was going to go. Things that I think we're so obvious to happen sometimes did not and while that threw me off the rhythm I think it shows how wonderful these books actually are.

I really liked the writing in this, it was almost enchanting to read. Like this is how you imagine yourself feeling when reading. It was so well written I did not mind the two idiot sisters who shared the stage for main characters.

The thing about poetry is you meet someone while you read it. You meet girls who drink too much and write on napkins, women who ignore their shoe laces and men who like to look at the sky too long. Lots of different types of people. Sometimes you meet them and they say beautiful things, but they live in a bubble and you want to pop it. “Some people can‘t afford to be this delusional” -Noel Miller

I read slowly. I pause whenever I find a really good line. I lay down and just imagine what's going on inside my books. But boy I gobbles this thing up. Twice. Probably going to do it again. It's like eating fire after living in winter.

Some books make you feel a very specific way or take you back to a particular time. Jeannette Walls has me trapped in New Mexico drinking rose lemonade with people I used to know.

"Deprived of Sahara's company
I looked around the room
and spied her purse
at the foot of the chair
I went through every item
in a little notebook
written with an eyebrow pencil
I found the very poem
Which you are reading now-
the writing smudged
but word for word
"Straighten up, little warrior" it ended
"It's not as though you
wasted your life
by loving me"

This book is great. The way it's structured reminds me of that movie Memento. Ann withholds information from the reader and creates a mystery for the reader to unravel. My favorite pages are when Franny welcomes Albie home and they sit on the porch with drinks.💖🌊🌸❣️🦋

I didn't even know this book existed until a couple months ago. A lot of people really seem to enjoy the characters while finding the actual flow of the story too jam packed. The writing style is one I love, some sections read like poetry. It makes for some dense reading at times but still this book had my heart🌼🌺🦋🌺

I read this and all I have to say is solid poetry. You can tell that this woman's struggle eventually blew up with her own power.

I couldnt finish reading this? The author has a really strong voice but I feel rather as if he spent the first half of the book mocking the people who believe that an eclipse holds religious power. He also seemed to laugh at ancient civilizations who feared eclipse's. Maybe Im just being overly sensitive but as a woman of color who was named Eyklipse Rain this book lacks the most important thing about the solar system WONDER

A good ole book haul from Barnes and Nobel!!! Avenue of mysteries is first up to read and then Ill probably skim the Tarot book💖 The crystal children was recommended by my mom so we'll see how that goes

House of Leaves is possibly my favorite book and receiving this as a gift from my mother made everything seem a bit better. I've read most of it already and it's very...frantic? A lot of words can describe this book but the point is I LOVE IT ✨✨✨✨

My desk always turns out to be a good spot to read. Just finished Gone fishin, not too bad for something I just randomly pulled of the shelf.📖📚

"If something's worth getting upset about, then there must be something worth getting happy about. And if something's worth getting happy about, then there must be something that matters. But there isnt!.. In a few years you'll all be dead and forgotten and diddly-squat, nothing, so you might just as well start getting used to it!"

I can't express how perfect suit these books are for me! Im probably going to read A Love Letter to Teens 80s Movies first (I watched Gleaming the Cube four times in two days) Usually I take up to three hours trying to find books at the Tattered Cover but today it was a mere thirty minutes! ✨✨ True magic! #bookhaul #tatteredcover

In biology class today my teacher printed different sections of the book for us to chose and read. I fell in love with the writing but I could definitely see how others would find it bland. My entire section was about the Tulip mania in Holland back in the 1600s and how it correlates to a humans natural obsession with beauty.

This book is very raw and emotional. It does it's best to keep everything as hard,gritty, and gut wrenching as possible. The book is following a mans recollection of war through a series of stories. Within these pages are quite a few violent and gory scenes and not to mention the extreme mentions of PTSD. This book is wonderful because of the fear and raw emotion it feeds you.

My friend returned from Vietnam and brought me this! It's adorable and has some mildly hilarious quotes. I am the resident mom/grandma/cool aunt amongst our friend group which is why she bought this for me. 💫

The Cellar is a eerie retelling of a kidnapping. You learn of her captors psychotic habits, the mystery that revolves around his motives, the girls he's chosen and most of all you learn the fear she felt.

Just picked this book up from Mutiny Cafe over on South Broadway. Bought some stickers and read some comic books, meet up with a friend for pizza. Lovely night in Denver ✨ #DenversBookLovers #Mutiny Cafe

GUYS I NEED HELP
I've been given the opportunity to chose my own literature book. When I actually need a book to read I can't seem to chose one. Any suggestions? #booksuggestions

The book shows you experts of three women throughout their friendship. What's great is that the friendship is believable. It's not perfect but it feels real. There's a certain type of suspension that is also placed throughout the book. Like there's something hiding in the pages.

Blind follows the path of a teenage girl who has lost her sight in a horrific accident. No longer being able to see the world or herself brings Emma a whole new set of problems. There's times where you must set the book down and cry a bit, others where you let out that little huff of laughter. Blind is a book about learning how to live with change.

"You shall live as I do. Modestly, and subsisting on the goodwill of others. You will take no more than you need, and waste nothing. People will attempt to buy your friendship. They will lavish things upon you. Accept nothing but the barest of human necessities."

I went to a Montessori school, funds were always short. Every time the library would get a set of brand new books kids would flock to get them. The boys abandoned the book after reading the description. The girls on the other hand went bat sh*t over it. But I was set on not reading a love story. Fast forward to 9th grade. I'm out with an old friend. She gives me the book tells me "You're not someone who believes in easy love, read it."

Just got this bad boy from the Corky Gonzalez branch. I spent way to long there and only ended up getting two books. I'm already a 100 or so pages in and it's amazing. Colorful language and a diverse cast.

Back when I read this I was absolutely in love with the older brother. His appearances short but most meaningful.

Reading this book is like watching yourself lose your sanity to a inward spiral. It's graphic and raw, each page gives you another piece of a seemingly endless puzzle.

I was ten years old or so when I read this. My grandma was sending me off on a plane to California to visit my other family. We had stopped at a King Soopers to buy some last minute things and I realized I had left my book at home. My grandma saw this, thought the cover was cute and I read the whole thing on the plane. #bookmemories

I loved this book. Theres something horribly dark and twisted that rests within these pages. It reminds you that children are yes pure and innocent but they do not always know how to handle that purity that they represent and it's very possible that they can easily fall the other way.

My dad has this same thing with the sound and colors and shapes. I didn't know that he did until he saw me reading this and discussed it with me. He showed me all kinds of different sounds that he has seen and it was one of the most bonding moments I've had with my father. #bookmemories

There was night sometime ago that I found a old copy of the Westing Game lying around and I decided to ditch my school work and go read. I snuck out to the fence that ran along my drive way and sat there. I read until I had turned the last page. This book stuck with my because it gave off this distinct vibe that's hard for books of its kind to carry. #bookmemories

This books something that you probably bought with that extra ten bucks in your pocket when you went out to the store. It was most likely some sort of heat of the moment decision. But here you are with it.
It's a decent book. The plot has potential, the characters are rather diverse and oh boy this thing is fast paced. But somethings missing and it might be closure. Then again how much can you shove into one night?

There's only two Robert Frost poems in the world I enjoy and one of them is in this book

I remember going to the library when I was maybe in 6th or 7th grade and picking out this book. My friends and I loved it, we all took turns reading it and I know we all secretly re-read some of the more "adult" chapters or whatever you call them. This book brings back a lot of old memories.

I loved this book. There's so much about Poe to write about and this book covered it all. #readit
