The Miniaturist by Jesse Burton

Reading this book had proven to be an unexpected delight, as this is not my usual genre.

First of all, a heads to the writer Jesse Burton for choosing a very intriguing cover which had caught my attention from a bookshelf at Sainsbury's.

And as a hungry reader hunting for my next prey, I am sometimes tempted to choose a book by its cover. And as a result, I received a different edition of the book cover from Amazon. But that didn't obviously stop me from reading the story.

And here is my rating - ✪ ✪ ✪ ✪ ✪ ✪ ✪ ✪ ✪ ✪

The Selection by Kiera Cass

I read a lot, and everyone who knows me is constantly aware of that.

But whenever someone asks me about my favourite book, I go blank. All you passionate readers can relate to that, I'm sure? We just have so many books that we've grown to love!

''The Selection'' by Kiera Cass has a definite place on my top list. It's a timeless novel that I keep coming back to, and every time I read it, it is as if I were reading it for the first time.

RATING: ✪ ✪ ✪ ✪ ✪ ✪ ✪ ✪ ✪ ✪

''The Selection'' is a series that consists of 3 books: ''The Selection'', ''The Elite'', and ''The One''. (Although Kiera Cass has written other novels related to the same plot too. I haven't read them yet so I can't say anything about those books.)

Extraordinarily well-written, full of romance and suspense and great sarcasm and humour.

Letter to my (possibly future) self

Dear me (and dear readers),

Today, 21 July 2015, is the day I finally made and started this blog, although I did already have several blogs in Tumblr already with a modest number of followers. Tumblr is great, awesome, absolutely mind-blowingly amazing,

but Tumblr is a whole different dimension and there are trillions of wonderful things, news, pictures, music, etc to discover, like and reblog, that it came to a point where my blogs were straying away from my intended theme and purposes of that blog (Tumblrians, anyone?). I'm sure I'm not the only one who encountered this problem, which is not even a problem, I mean, come on!
