We are led to believe that we are always the main character in our story.

Life is never that simple though… some days we are the kind supportive character everyone needs more of, other days we are the over-complicated villain from someone else’s plot. And then there are days that feel like the blank page between chapters - quiet pauses holding hope for what’s next.

Whoever you might be today, give it your best!

My 7 years old boy seems to finally fall in love with the story 😉

Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (Harry Potter, #1)

Ari
Ari is 40% done with On the Jellicoe Road
There are some magical books that seem to be filled with even more emotion each time you read them, because you know where they’re headed and it chills you to the bone. And you pick up new hints hidden between words & lines and you care so much more for the characters - as their struggles ache deeply & their happiness becomes your very own.

And that’s simply what I feel each time I re-read this book. I ADORE IT!

Ari is 99% done with Froi of the Exiles (Lumatere Chronicles, #2)
I don’t cry much while reading, but when it comes to this book... damn, the ending makes me cry each and every time.

Let me rephrase:
Best fantasy series EVER!!! *sigh*

Ari
Ari is on page 2 of 372 of The Lady Rogue
Who in the world (and by “world” I mean “country”) says “Vlad Dracula”?!

This cliché is getting out of hand.
But one day someone is gonna write an original story, just wait and see... only this is not that day. *sigh*

Ari
Ari is finished with Rebel (Legend, #4)
Loved the cover, hated Eden and thought the ending was ok.

This sums up everything nicely, I guess. Thought there's nothing nice about how I'm feeling right now. *sigh*

Indeed, I might cry... for an entirely different reason though...

Ari
Ari is starting Rebel (Legend, #4)
Don't be stupid, I'm not crying!

It's just really cold... outside...
And then there's that onion from the scrambled eggs that I ate... this morning, still lingering in my... mind...

Damn it, yes!
I am all teary-eyed because I love this series to pieces!

Happy now?!

Such an emotional ride so far.
It seems to have the author’s heart imprinted on each page <3

Ari

Love it so far!
I haven’t been this invested in a book (/fantasy) in quite a while! Hopefully I’ll keep feeling this way up until the end :)

I’ve been living vicariously through books these past weeks, so when I don’t like a story I tend to take it rather personally :))

But boy, don’t I hate reading slumps?!

Ari is 20% done with The Gorgon in the Gully
Oh, this is such a cutie pie!

PS: Back when I read Jellicoe Road for the first time I saw bits of myself in the main character. Now all I see is my little one in Danny :)

Ari is on page 430 of 593 of Froi of the Exiles (Lumatere Chronicles, #2)
It's strange how the turnarounds and the revelations still give me the chills even after re-reading it all these many times.

I bow to you, Melina Marchetta! I've read hundreds of books, but none quite as impressive as yours.

Sorry folks, but now I know why when I started typing "dis.." on google I got an autocomplete for "disappointed" and Game of Thrones. o_O

Ari is 30% done with We Hunt the Flame (Sands of Arawiya, #1)
I am not feeling it *sigh*

The main characters are so selfish I want to punch them both in the face, the world building is lacking so far, and what about those curse words?
Are those in arabic, are they invented, because they sound damn much like the english ones, those bastards! Pun intended!

I always wonder, you know... how can she infuse her words with so much emotion?

Ari is finished with Into the Drowning Deep (Rolling in the Deep, #1)
Thumbs up! Such an incredible ride!

You made me love a zombie book.
A mermaid book.
Now give me some aliens too, as I seem to trust you with my heart.

I’m not really sure what I’m reading anymore o_O

Ari
Ari is 50% done with Ruin and Rising (Shadow and Bone, #3)
I know why I like this book better...
It’s because of the entire group and their dynamics. It’s not only about Alina and her harem, it’s about all of them - their past, their hopes, their friendship, the betrayal, the pain of losing someone. That’s what Bardugo excels at :)

Ari

Picture me surprised, but this series is actually growing on me...

And it's funny looking at all those disappointed faces from around here. Maybe it's because I had NO expectations unlike some of you, or because these characters are finally starting to grow up? Or because Nikolai is still fun to be around?

Well, this IS Leigh Bardugo, it seems like her can do no wrong on the long term - and that's no surprise.

I like this Nikolai guy. He could probably recite items from a shopping list and I’d still laugh like a fool. :))

King of Scars (King of Scars, #1)

Ari
Ari is 15% done with King of Scars (King of Scars, #1)
Damn it, I don't want to read the original trilogy, as Alina got on my nerves so badly the first time I tried, but I feel like I am missing out on the dynamics between some side characters and - more importantly - Nikolai's past *double sigh*

Also... Nina... oh how her thoughts break my heart and stomp on the pieces... I shipped her and Matthias more than Kaz and Inej, and her tragedy is also mine to bear :(

People say the ending is good...
It better be, as I am slowly losing my interest *sigh*

I might assume this will be the 2nd time around when war will start because of Gem, LOL. Or I'll be again surprised...

Ari
Ari is 50% done with A Conspiracy of Kings (The Queen's Thief, #4)
My favourite so far, I think.
Makes me think about two other kings and how would they act in each other’s company.

The world building is interesting, but the main character can be so very dense at times *sigh*
