The Hanson Members Kit this year is amazing... so worth my money <3
-
Very happy this morning... we turned the heat on, I moved my desk from the window as you can feel the wind there (!) aaaand I have a coffee meet-up in an hour to look forward to
Nice start of the day. -
Oh yes... perfect combination of books I got from the College library: Freud, a book about feminism and... Harry Potter vol. 1!
-
I like both, but I do prefer books written in third person.

I'm not a very good student. Instead of going to the library as planned at 8am this morning, it's now 12.40 pm and I still haven't left the house!

Went into a book shop and didn't buy anything, can you do that?!

It happens, yes. Usually when I have no money on me (which happens fairly often!) so I just spend a long time browsing and end up buying nothing. Sad -
The Subtle Knife by Philip Pullman Book Description (amazon.co.uk) “What is he? A friend, or an enemy?” “He is a murderer.” Will has just killed a man. He’s on the run. His escape will take him fa beyond his own world, to the eerie disquiet of a deserted city and to a girl, Lyra. Her fate is strangely linked to his own, and together they must find the most powerful weapon in all the word. Personal Note While I did enjoy the first volume of the “His Dark Materials” trilogy more, the second volume was very good! I didn’t think it could be even more fast paced than the first one, but it is. While the story follows quite a few characters in separate chapters, it’s easy to follow and the the story lines mix by the end very well. I will for sure read the third book too.

Nice to see the cupboard and the fridge filled with food again... except once again I forgot to buy eggs and wine.

Northern Lights by Philip Pullman Book Description (amazon.co.uk) Lyra’s life is already sufficiently interesting for a novel before she eavesdrops on a presentation by her uncle Lord Asriel to his colleagues in the Jordan College faculty, Oxford. The college, famed for its leadership in experimental theology, is funding Lord Asriel’s research into the heretical possibility of the existence of worlds unlike Lyra’s own, where everyone is born with a familiar animal companion, magic of a kind works, the Tartars are threatening to overrun Muscovy, and the Pope is a puritanical Protestant. Set in an England familiar and strange, Philip Pullman’s lively, taut story is a must-read and re-read for fantasy lovers of all ages. The world-building is outstanding, from the subtle hints of the 1898 Tokay to odd quirks of language to the panserbjorne, while determined, clever Lyra is strongly reminiscent of Joan Aiken’s Dido Twite. Personal Note I’ve been meaning to read this for many years. First in a trilogy, I enjoyed the book a lot and definitely regretted it took me so long to start it. It’s fast paced, packed with action and has an ending that makes you want to start the next book immediately. The characters are pretty well developed, although in some cases I would have liked more. Overall, I liked the book a lot.
