  I think my favorite one is the last one (and it’s interesting how it ends with that line): Everything was beautiful and nothing hurt. Very ironic.

Books are mirrors: you only see in them what you already have inside you. /Carlos Ruiz Zafón Okie. So this was a bar... Imagine all the looks I got taking pictures.

"Idiots are highly flammable, love. Let them all burn in hell." /#TaherehMafi, #RestoreMe So what better way to spend a Sunday right? Also kind of shameless #costacoffee promotion 🙈 I really missed Juliette. I mean Warner. I mean both... Uhh but these covers are killing me 😍📚 #booklover #reading #slowsunday

"It was a dark, blustery afternoon in spring, and the city of London was chasing a small mining town across the dried-out bed of the old North Sea. " /Philip Reeve, Mortal Engines (The Hungry City Chronicles, #1) I really liked this series as a kid 😊 So I was happy to learn Peter Jackson will turn this into a movie. I loved Hes in the trailer though I'm not sure about CGI effects yet. Have you read this? 📚 #philipreeve #mortalengines

"Lock up your libraries if you like; but there is no gate, no lock, no bolt that you can set upon the freedom of my mind." /Virginia Woolf, A Room of One's Own Been wanting to visit this library for a while. And! I have had such bad luck with it. First time I tried to go it was closed 😅 (closes earlier Thu-Sat) ...then wanted to go to reading room on Monday (closed on Mondays). Uhh but I will not give up 😁📖📚 #bookstagram #nationallibraryofireland #nationallibrary #booklover #oneplus6

"Nolite te bastardes carborundorum." . I miss the show o.o Handmaid's Tale is one of a kind... AAtwood's novels are great. They always make me think how close we are to dystopians like this coming to life. And she always has fascinating ideas and concepts about possible futures. What do you think? How do you feel about the show? #bookstagram #margaretatwood #handmaidstale

“But why’s she got to go to the library?” “Because that’s what Hermione does,” said Ron, shrugging. “When in doubt, go to the library.” ― J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets My face when I step out of the library... Happy #socksunday 🧦 Is that even a thing anymore? Asking for a friend. #harrypotter #pottergirl #potterhead #pottersocks #primark #chamberofsecrets #reading #reader #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #booksofig #bookphotography #booknerd

“Reading is escape, and the opposite of escape; it's a way to make contact with reality after a day of making things up, and it's a way of making contact with someone else's imagination after a day that's all too real. Reading is grist. Reading is bliss.” ― Nora Ephron, I Feel Bad about My Neck: And Other Thoughts on Being a Woman Jeez I missed you all. And reading. .. Life was kind of hectic for a while. I don't even know how to get back on the bookstagram horse 😅 So...my new favorite Irish book store...best part of it is the basement level. Recommend me more if you are based in #Dublin ❤️

“...she doesn't have to choose between being gentle or being fierce. Both exist in nature and both exist in her. That's ok. She'll know to nourish them both and when applicable, use each unapologetically.” ― Steve Maraboli . I really like this water bottle ❤ I think it just might of have borrowed me some ferociousnes as well. I had a craziest week and resigned from my job. To move to Dublin 🌍 In this month. Because do what makes you happy 😊 And yeah. There's a book there too in case someone was wondering 😉

Necronomicon 🦑🙈🦑 To all my Helsinki based friends: Guys, you have to go see #necromomicón @necronomicon_pelicula by #marceloschapces @nightvisionsfestival Perfect horror movie for book lovers and especially fans of Lovecraft ❤

“Let us read, and let us dance; these two amusements will never do any harm to the world.” ― Voltaire Haven't been reading anything lately. Maybe next week will be better for books ❤

“Comics deal with two fundamental communicating devices: words and images. Admittedly this is an arbitrary separation. But, since in the modern world of communication they are treated as independent disciplines, it seems valid.” ― Will Eisner, Comics and Sequential Art . Sain ihania arvostelukappaleita taannoin ❤ #mutzi ei kiertele vaan laukoo kovia ja hauskoja totuuksia äitiydestä, suosittelisin kaikille äideille luettavaksi 😁 #kiroilevasiili8...kuka ei tästä tykkäisi 😛 . #finnishnightmares2 dives much deeper into Finnishness...I very much enjoyed the second part too but I wonder if the comics are still funny if you don't know that much about Finns. I felt like first book was for foreigners but with #2 it was almost like it was for foreign people living in Finland...or those who had read first part. Reviews coming up 😉

“The caged bird sings with a fearful trill of things unknown but longed for still and his tune is heard on the distant hill for the caged bird sings of freedom.” ― Maya Angelou, The Complete Collected Poems

“Believe nothing you hear, and only one half that you see.” ― Edgar Allan Poe KauhuCon tuliaisia itselleni ❤ ...Vielä ehtii. #kauhucon

Book to match my name ❤🕷🕸
