“If a bird’s hair cells are damaged by disease or loud noises—say, by the blasting decibels of a rock concert in a domed stadium—they can regenerate. Ours can’t.” ― Jennifer Ackerman, The Genius of Birds . Reading Genius of Birds. So far so good 🐤 . Lukuvuorossa @atenakustannus uutuus Jennifer Ackermanin Viisaat linnut. Tähän mennessä mielenkiintoista faktaa, joka muuttaa sen miten näet linnunaivot. “Nothing is worse than being alone on the evening of the day when one's cow has exploded.” - Dean Koontz, Odd Thomas (Odd Thomas, #1) . I haven't been posting in a while 🙈 My mother brought me some books yesterday and one of them was Odd Thomas 😁 which I haven't read in a long time ^^ Hope you have a great weekend! 🍸 “Because it is the nature of Dreams, and ONLY of Dreams, to define Reality. Destiny is bound to existence. Death is limited by what she will or will not accept.” ― Neil Gaiman, The Sandman: Overture . I've been reading a lot of comics this year but Overture has been one of the few 5/5 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 reads because Gaiman has a way with words and illustrations by J.H.Williams III & Dave Stewart are gorgeous ✨❤✨ and also this mini rainbow 🌈 in my room fit the covers perfectly 😂✌ “We need the books that affect us like a disaster, that grieve us deeply, like the death of someone we loved more than ourselves, like being banished into forests far from everyone, like a suicide. A book must be the axe for the frozen sea inside us.” ― Franz Kafka . Thank you for 2,3K 💘💘💘 and thank you for liking and following! ^^ I'm so stressed 😂 ...swapping jobs, finding an apartment...though today I watched TED talk about how stress is actually good for you. Helps your body fight and overcome difficult situations. How are you doing? Here's what I recently got from a local library 📚📖 “When everyone knows you’re a monster, you needn’t waste time doing every monstrous thing.” ― Leigh Bardugo, Six of Crows . Yeah... I guess my hand looks weird in this one XDI have a weekend off ^^ = I've been watching Handmaid's Tale...I like it so far 💻 it's a dystopian world that could easily become reality... also been reading this and trying to read ACOWAR but I can't because then it'll be over o.O “All the world will be your enemy, Prince with a Thousand Enemies, and whenever they catch you, they will kill you. But first they must catch you, digger, listener, runner, prince with the swift warning. Be cunning and full of tricks and your people shall never be destroyed.” ― Richard Adams, Watership Down “When rivers flooded, when fire fell from the sky, what a fine place the library was, the many rooms, the books. With luck, no one found you. How could they!--when you were off to Tanganyika in '98, Cairo in 1812, Florence in 1492!?” ― Ray Bradbury, Something Wicked This Way Comes . Happy Sunday! I discovered this library in Espoo that opens at 7am 🕖😂 so that's where I was... At seven...On Sunday. “I'm about to start reading it again, because what good is a story you only want to read once?” ― Bill Willingham . Hey you all! How are you doing? Do you like comics? 📖 I recently discovered first part of FABLES series where fairy tale legends live alongside regular New Yorkers and I've loved Legends in Exile 🍎🐺 Reminds me of Sandman... Have to get my hands on vol 2: Animal Farm “My brother and I were able to fantasize far more extravagantly about our parents' tastes and desires, their aspirations and their vices, by scanning their bookcases than by snooping in their closest. Their selves were on their shelves”. - Anne Fadiman, Ex Libris: Confessions of a Common Reader . Your bookshelf is who you are 📖 This is a book shelf at the hotel I'm currently working in 😁 It has so few books 😭 Do you think anyone would notice if I started sneaking in more books? 📚 Have a good weekend! ❤ “Take no heed of her.... She reads a lot of books.” ― Jasper Fforde, The Eyre Affair . Happy Easter! 🐰 I'm basically working all Easter 😂😭 but like at least all the customers have been pretty happy with me...realized I had a similar picture like this last year but not like anyone else than me cares 🙈 Anyways, eat chocolate, read books, be happy, don't worry ❤🎶❤ . Oikein hyvää kirjojen ja suklaan ja kaiken hyvän täyttämää pääsiäistä!! 😘🐣 “We cling to our fairy tales until the price for believing in them becomes too high.” ― Ransom Riggs, Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children . 🎧 ― Florence + The Machine - What The Water Gave Me . Hey you all ❤ Found this graphic novel at a library, pretty excited to see how the illustrations are. “If you can learn to endure pain, you can survive anything. Some people learn to embrace it- to love it. Some endure it through drowning it in sorrow, or by making themselves forget. Others turn it into anger.” ― Sarah J. Maas, The Assassin's Blade . Happy Monday ^^ I have a day off finally...been catching up with Grey's Anatomy & Broadchurch. Planning to catch up with my reading goals as well. Like this one here. “There's this magical place,' he says with mock solemnity, 'called a library--I don't know if you've heard of it, but they have books, and also newspaper, and back issues of newspapers...” ― Moïra Fowley-Doyle, The Accident Season . Hi folks ^^ how are you doing? ✨ I haven't actually gone to a library in a while and it sort of makes me sad because there are not that many books on my night shelf 💔 I finished reading Mr.Mercedes which was pretty good however I thought it would be horror... & Fashion Monster by Alan Moore 📖❤ Otherwise I don't get what I'm doing in my life 😂😫 involved in way too many things “Fear is the loneliest feeling. You can be in a throng of people, but if you're afraid, you're on your own.” ― Michelle Paver, Oath Breaker . Don't you just love books with maps? ❤ 📚 I'm re-reading Chronicles of Ancient Darkness by Michelle Paver and also Mr. Mercedes by Stephen King 👑 What are you reading? “From even the greatest of horrors irony is seldom absent.” ― H.P. Lovecraft, Tales of H.P. Lovecraft . Hanna Morren 13 kauhusuosikkia #kauhucon2017
