Day 4: A book and a wand. I'm afraid I don't actually have a wand, I haven't even been to the Warner Bros. studio tour, but, I want to go soon, and when I do go I want to get Sirius Black's wand 😊 I picked this book because it's all about changing things, and people, from what they are normally to something completely different, and I thought that this would be a good book for McGonnagall's birthday, just because it's similar to her subject: transfiguration 😊❤️ Anyway, happy birthday Professor McGonagall! 😊 (I meant to post this yesterday, but I ended up not having the time because of college work, ugh 🙄) As always, you can read this post on my Instagram (books__and__brews) 😊

Day 3: A book that helped me through hard times. For me, the book that comes to mind is V for Vendetta, by Alan Moore. My dad gave me this book a while ago when I was under a lot of stress with my work, schoolwork, and the impending divorce of my parents. I remember feeling like I had no escape, and just that everywhere I turned I saw those things, but then my dad gave me this book. One time that sticks out in my mind is when Dad and I were sat in the shade on a hot day, just discussing the complexities and oddities of this book for hours and hours, and whenever I talked with him about it, everything else faded into the background. This book is so dense and complex and fascinating and amazing that it gave me that escapism that I, at that moment in time, couldn't find anywhere else. This is the book that got me through a hard time, so... thank you Dad 😊❤️

Day 2: A book I say I hate, but deep down I love. This is a pretty tough one for me because really, I don't read any books if I wouldn't like them, but one book that I always tell people I don't like is City of Bones, by Cassandra Clare 😊 I do and don't like this book, I don't like it because the ending is really confusing and just weird, so I put it down and vowed never to read another Shadowhunters book, and that's what I tell everyone. Secretly I do have a soft spot for it though, because the characters all feel well developed, and the relationships between species in the (very unique) hidden world of monsters in this book feels very historic and well developed. So, there we go: City of Bones, by Cassandra Clare, I hate it, but not really 😊

@feminism_and_books (on Instagram) challenged me to do this, so I will! Today is day 1, so: my favourite book. My favourite book is The Fault in our Stars, it has so many different messages about life and death, as well as giving me so many new ideas about life, and the nature of it. Plus, it holds a special significance to me because my girlfriend bought two copies a while ago: one for me, and one for her, so we call it our book 😊 There we go, my favourite book in all the world: The Fault in our Stars 😊
