WE WERE LIARS by E. Lockhart

April 16, 2015

Book cover of WE WERE LIARS by E. LockhartIf 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.

Retrospect #65-67 (Triple Edition): April 12

April 13, 2015

Book haul for weeks leading up to April 12, 2015The past few weeks weren’t all too great for me. I was down with a terrible flu for nearly two weeks and even as I’ve mostly recovered, I’m still coughing on occasion. Some days I’d sleep 8 hours, awake an hour in the morning and then sleep another 7 hours. I was just so out of it, that I couldn’t do much. This explains my lack of recent posts as well. Thankfully I’m alright now and am back to blogging.

Book cover of SHATTER ME (Shatter Me #1) by Tahereh MafiYou 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

April 10, 2015

Mise-en-scene BookshelvesMany 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.

Epic Recs: March 2015

March 29, 2015

Epic Recs March 2015: The Archived & Rebel BelleThis month I picked The Archived by Victoria Schwab for Hazel and she picked Rebel Belle by Rachel Hawkins for me. Schwab is an excellent storyteller, so I can’t wait to see what Hazel thinks of The Archived.
