Valerie. 23. Ghent, Belgium. This is my personal. Book blog is over at IsserleyLovesBooks.tumblr.com :) Nerdfighter. Student. I read a lot :) I answer asks privately, anons publically. If you ask as yourself and would like me to publish it, or think it might be nice if I did, just let me know. :)
Specifically, reblogs on the OP will stop counting at midnight (CEST or Brussels time) on the night of Saturday to Sunday. Please only reblog once a day, though.

IT’S GIVEAWAY TIME!
I’m sharing the joy of some of my favorite books ever, which I hope will speak to pretty much everyone. They are all new paperback copies.

Pride and Prejudice (Jane Austen)
To Kill a Mockingbird (Harper Lee)THE RULES:

- reblog a maximum of five times [and please, not all at the same time]
- you have to follow my book blog, but not the personal if you don’t care to.
- anyone anywhere can enter
- you need to have your Ask open: not replying within 24 hours means I’ll pick a new winner
- winner will be selected at random on June 30th.
Good luck!
Reminder! The basics: follow this blog, reblog a maximum of 5 times and not all at once, ends on June 30th.
Exactly one week to go! Follow this blog, reblog five times max (only once at a time!), ends June 30th.

@1 year ago with 7 notesI was thinking two, maybe three paperbacks from my re-read classics list? P&P, To Kill a Mockingbird, 1984, A Handmaid’s Tale, Never Let Me Go, One Hundred Years of Solitude, Looking for Alaska maybe…
Either with or without notes from me at favorite parts - written in or on post-its if you prefer your books pristine…
Would people be interested in this?

No no no start with Looking for Alaska!!!!!!!!!
That will probably depend on which order they arrive in, though ;) Looking forward to all. Haven’t actually read anything by John yet as I don’t normally read YA :/ In fact, I think I went straight from children’s books to adult in my teens. But I like John very much from his videos and he has such an interesting way of wording things, that I’m beginning to think I may have missed something :)

O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!
… because I have received my copy of Looking for Alaska in the mail today, started reading it, and like it so far!
Context: I had this crazy neurotic anxiety that I wouldn’t like John Green’s books even though I’m a great admirer of the man himself (cited: his general awesomeness and the fact that the amount of suck in my world has certainly decreased since I found his and Hank’s videos and, consequently, the badassery that is Nerdfighteria and its lovely commity) but lo! As per usual my fears proved unfounded.
So. Yes. Just posting about how relieved I am that one of my heroes is actually a good writer and not JUST a popular one.
(As an aside, starting in Looking for Alaska also means that I finished The Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoet and can I just say, David Mitchell, you never disappoint. It is SO very different from Cloud Atlas, but just as enthralling. Recommend!)
