There are books that capture your heart in the very first chapter, when the characters take you away within their first few words uttered between the pages. Books that you savor, letting the plot sit in your bones for days, cherishing the quiet moments you spend with it on spring afternoons like this one...
I am not what you would call a book blogger. That is a whole different world in its entirety, a world that I enjoy perusing and gaining from the knowledgeable writers who diligently work at critique and staying up to date with the book world, but I am certainly not of this awesome people. I am, however, a consumer of ink on paper and I think I'll write my own thoughts on books periodically in my little corner here.
Reckless By Cornelia Funke. -There
are books that capture your heart in the very first chapter, when the
characters take you away within their first few words uttered between
the pages. Books that you savor, letting the plot sit in your bones for
days, cherishing the quiet moments you spend with it on spring
afternoons. These books were just of that kind.
I took my time with this book, and quite honestly with the other two as well, reading them in the soft spring light, usually accompanied by tea or coffee. Tales about a mirror that led to another world where every fairy tale you have heard in our world is true in that one. Characters with secrets, fairies with potent names that must never be spoken aloud, and a shapeshifter that may become your favorite character. This book was so entirely intriguing and I enjoyed every chapter behind the mirror.
I hope you all are having a good week! If you want, I would love to hear what you are currently reading!
