Books don’t always have to contain stories. They can contain music too.
Mise-en-scène #12: Typography
The understated elegance of these covers completely amazed me when I first saw them. Besides linking up the covers through the door, door knocker and keyhole, the typography completes the design of the Daughter of Smoke & Bone trilogy. I love how classy the letters look. They are decorative but don’t lead to overly busy covers.
WE WERE LIARS by E. Lockhart
If there’s one thing I have to say about this book it’s that We Were Stupid would have been a much more appropriate title than We Were Liars. I was more convinced of the characters’ stupidity than them calling themselves the Liars. Perhaps the title with regards to liars was supposed to raise intrigue. Indeed, it did. I was very curious about the book. In the end though, I was sorely disappointed.
SHATTER ME (Shatter Me #1) by Tahereh Mafi
You know those books that you add to your TBR pile for no apparent reason, except that the cover looks cool? Shatter Me was one of those books for me.
Mise-en-scène #11: Bookshelves
Many years I lamented the squareness of my bookshelf. That bookshelf is so square, no matter which organization method I chose, practically every single cubby would have a gap. I detested that because this meant I couldn’t organise according to author, which is how I wanted to arrange my books for the longest time. In the end I settled for arranging books according to size, just so I wouldn’t have any ghastly gaps.
