BOOK REVIEW: Northern Lights by Philip Pullman . So I pushed myself to read this before the tv series came out, and I’m not disappointed. I fully understand now why this is such a classic. I have fallen in LOVE with Lyra and Pan, and also Iorek! It’s one of those books where you’re instantly hooked, no having to ‘get into the story the first 100 pages’ I saw that this series made the BBC’s 100 most inspiring books list, and I haven’t even finished the series and already agree. Honestly the only let down is that I didn’t order the whole series in one go, so now I have to wait until the other 2 books arrive before I get to meet Will! . If you had a dæmon, what animal would it be? I like to think mine would be something like a hedgehog! 🦔 . P.S. please no spoilers for the tv show! My family and I are saving it to watch it all together during the holidays! 🎄 . . . #johannasreviews #bookreview #northernlights #hisdarkmaterials #philippullman #bookcover #bookcoverart #theamberspyglass #thesubtleknife #bookseries #booktrilogy #bookstagram #booksta #booksofinsta #booksofig #bookclassics #classicbooks #childrensclassics #childrensbooks https://www.instagram.com/p/B4sWeDAACx1/?igshid=ei6b0n511k8j

Anyway, Iorek, the Armored Bear.

If a coin comes down heads, that means that the possibility of its coming down tails has collapsed. Until that moment the two possibilities were equal. But on another world, it does come down tails. And when that happens, the two worlds split apart. Philip Pullman, The Golden Compass (His Dark Materials, #1). 💫. I read and heard this book on audio at least four times growing up. I love this world and the movie 🎥. I recommend this book 📖 for everyone ! #bookphotography #bookstagram #books #hisdarkmaterials #thegoldencompass #thesubtleknife #theamberspyglass #daemon #fantasy #magic (at North Bay, Ontario)

Good evening bookstagram! What a beautiful warm night! I’m having a tidy-up of my bookshelves and came across these four... I have a confession to make! I’ve never read His Dark Materials! There has been so much hype about #bookofdust and so I’m curious about where to start! Should I read them in publication order or should I start with Book of Dust? Why do you think of this series?? . @penguinbooksaus @scholastic_au @wickstockcandleco #hisdarkmaterials #labellesauvage #northernlights #thesubtleknife #theamberspyglass #philippullman #bookishcandle #bookandcandle #bookish #instabook #bookstagram #homelibrary #igreads #books #bibliophile #bookgram #bookworm #reader #booksofinstagram #booklife #bookphoto #wickstockcandleco

It has taken me 14 years to complete His Dark Materials. Yes, 14 years. I was 12 when I first read ‘Northern Lights’ and then the horrible movie came out and a friend of mine told me she didn’t like the ending and that was reason enough for me to not continue with the last two books. • • I’m really glad I decided to read it now as an adult. I know so many things would’ve been lost to my younger self. • • I would say ‘Northern Lights’ is my favourite of the three but I enjoyed the other two as well, even though ‘The Subtle Knife’ threw me off a lot because I was not expecting the story to go in the way it went. I can also see why ‘The Amber Spyglass’ has so many mixed reviews but I enjoyed the ending (my younger self wouldn’t have enjoyed it though) and it’s true I have more questions that answers but I was strangely satisfied with it. • • My only problem was Lyra’s development. By the end she didn’t resemble the feisty girl we met in ‘Northern Lights’. I guess Pullman had his reasons, but I felt a bit uneasy about that. • • • • • • • • #bookreview #hisdarkmaterials #beautifulbooks #booksbooksbooks #northernlights #thesubtleknife #theamberspyglass #coverlust
