An utterly beautiful and satisfying conclusion to this series. One of my favorite parts of this series is its narrator, it has a quirky almost Winnie the Pooh charm with so much humor it's delightful ☺️

I really loved this book, though it was a slow start for me. As the book progressed I was drawn more and more into the story and grew to love the characters. I also have to admire the lushness of her writing, it was woven rather beautifully. (Excuse my lack of eloquence lately, summer is taking its toll on my brain).

Just a last minute picture for Sunday 💕. I picked up this notorious edition of the Two Towers at my favorite local bookshop on Friday. I already had The Fellowship of the Ring and am excited to have the next to go with it!

Technically this is the three individual books, but... I read this trilogy what feels like forever ago and felt it was very good. I was impressed by how different it was from most of my other reads at the time, not that there aren't other amazing dystopian novels.. I'm rambling 🙈.

This book dropped me down a rabbit hole of delight. The language is fun and creative, the characters fun and engaging, and the land itself is a wild fusion of most of my favorite things... some of which I didn't know existed until this book! The heroine is spunky and quirky and managed to surprise me. The book was altogether satisfying and I'm delighted to say that the rest of the series was even more so! #fairyland #catherynnemvalente

This collection of Cap is one of my favorites and seemed utterly perfect for today, Independence Day.

Camping and Beren and Luthien 💕. I love having the perfect book on a trip. We stayed up in one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen this last weekend. There was a bubbling spring and sparkling stars and incredible flowers everywhere! Tolkien seems perfect to read in a place so wild and breathtaking.

I really loved ACOTAR when I read it for the first time over a year ago now and was utterly delighted to read the second and rabid for the third book when it came out this year 🙈. I am a sucker for fairytales and retellings.

I am also a sucker for beautiful art! This bookmark is from Book Coyote Designs and I love it!

The Silmarillion | J.R.R. Tolkien

Sauron was become now a sorcerer of dreadful power , master of shadows and of phantoms , foul in wisdom, cruel in strength, misshaping what he touched, twisting what he ruled, lord of werewolves; his dominion was torment.

Happy Birthday to Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone!! I didn't discover these books until 2001 when my aunt gave me the first three ☺️. I've never looked back 😉

books_from_my_shelves My son was 16 when he read the series and he loved it so much! He wanted me to read it ,too but it took him many years to convince me... then last summer I gave in and... to my suprise I liked the books ,I read all of them 😃 but I don't like the movies though. 8y
soulsfiredesigns @myreadingcorner I'm so glad you like the books!! It's ok not to like the movies, lol, not everyone does ☺️. 8y

A Midsummer Night's Dream | William Shakespeare
post image

This is one of the first Shakespeare plays I remember reading and it made a huge impact on my love for reading plays 🌸

books_from_my_shelves It's such a lovely edition! I also read it ( in Hungarian) many years ago , maybe I'll re-read it. I haven't read anything of Shakespeare 's works in English , it's a shame but I'm afraid that it's too difficult to understand.I'm thinking of reading some of his sonnets in English though. 8y
soulsfiredesigns @myreadingcorner Do give them a try! I can understand though, sometimes things are hard if it isn't your native language I'm sure!!! I'm afraid I spent four years back in school trying to learn Spanish and failed rather miserably at retaining much of it 🙈. I keep thinking I need to try again with another language! 8y
books_from_my_shelves @soulsfiredesigns Try it ! It's such a great feeling to be able to understand and speak a foreign language and to read your favourite books in original! 8y

I'm finally starting this one! It is one of my long time TBR books 💕. Do you have a favorite Dickens? 🤔

#charlesdickens #ataleoftwocities

emmekamalei I think Tale of Two Cities and A Christmas Carol are my favorite of Dickens, but he's got so much else I haven't read as well! I hope you enjoy! 8y

Finished last month's Book of the Month Club choice! It was a huge roller coaster but I loved it! Very psychological, very intriguing, and managed to keep me on the edge of my seat at the end 🙌🏻 #sincewefell #dennislehane #bookofthemonthclub #botm

"I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.
"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All that we have to decide is the time that is given us."

One of my current reads... I'm finally past the halfway point, but have been struggling a bit with this one. I think it's because it is an emotional roller coaster 🙈
