Today I wanted to pay tribute to the hardcover books, which even though I have not had the pleasure of buying from some years now, I still remember how delightful and wonderful it was to have a new book, the fresh smell of it and the whiteness of it pages. Ah! The good old days.
Entering a bookstore and seeing all the books in display is pretty much like going to heaven, going to a library with thousands of books in it, can have the same effect though I have not done that, ever, I imagine I would feel like Belle (Beauty and the Beast), that amount of books at your reach can be intoxicating.
I have the strong believe that someday, I hope not too far, I will be able to buy a paperback book, hardcover preferably and my life will be brighter. The first on my list are: Hush Hush, Idhún’s Memories, The Infernal Devices Trilogy, Divergent, Vampire Diaries, Lux; only I won’t find Lux in my area, I already inquired, carrying on, those are on the top of my list.
I remember when Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows was in my hands for the first time, the unwrapping, the joy of a new book, a new story waiting to be read. I am not positive that was the last book I purchased but if it was, then I am realizing now it has been a long, so very long time since I bought a book, which is sad. At least I have my Ebooks, I probably would go blind if I continue reading on my phone and computer but I cannot just not read, it would be a crime against nature.
Needless to say I love every form a book comes to me, I read it all the same.
Update
Here’s a list of the recent books that came to me, through boxes of bookish goods or simply because I bought, since now I have a job that actually allows me to give myself a treat now and then. Check this out and let me know if you have read any of them.

If I would have told myself that I would some day have so many new (not so new in release date) books I would not have believed. This is just a short list, only the ones that I acquired recently, I have many more and the shelves are starting to look a little crowded.
If you know these titles and if you have read them, leave me a comment or share with others that might need inspiration for their reading list. You can find lots of things, titles, and reviews about the magical worlds in here.
Keep in touch
