Every heart is a package tangled up in knots someone else tied (color coordinating + book haul)


Reorganised my book shelf, once again. i do this way too often, simply because i can't decide what i like best. Last time the books were organised by genre, now by color. this is visually pleasing, sure, but soon enough i'll go crazy by the fact that books that should be togehter, aren't. (like all the Gatsby's or John Green books or poem collections etc.) but right now, i like it like this. also, here's a little books haul. might be the last one for a while. i've been buying books faster than i can read them and i want to catch up a little. also i need to save some money. i have pretty neat summer plans (like a trip to Dublin for a small vacation and Josh Ritter concert!) so i can't spend so much money on books. anyway, here are the books i've bought recently:


Z: A Novel of Zelda Fitzgerald by Therese Anne Fowler
This is what i'm currently reading, and it's been pretty great so far. it's no secret i love F. Scott Fitzgerald, but i also love his wife Zelda and their amazing, yet tragic Love story. i find it really interesting. This is not a biography, but a fictionalised story of Zelda Fitzgerald as Zelda herself might have told it.


Bright's Passage by Josh Ritter
Josh Ritter is my favorite musician of all time, i'm sort of in love with him, so i am really excited to read his first novel. i've been meaning to buy it for a while and now i finally did. Josh Ritter's songs are often like epic stories and he is a storyteller first, a musician second, so i expecting a lot from this.


Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe by Benjamin Alire Sáenz
i already read this book and absolutely loved it. it's one of the best book i've ever read. you can read my full review of it here.


The Miseducation of Cameron Post by Emily M. Danforth
i've heard a lot of good things about this one and i am really in a mood for great YA literature, so i hope this is as good as people say it is. i'll probably read it next

what books are you currently reading?

i guess it all adds up to joy to the end. (book haul #2)

i often hear that i buy too many books, but one can never have too many books! if you run out of room you don't stop buing books, you move! these are the books i've bought in February/March, and even tho i am running out of room i refuse to stop growing my personal library. there aren't a lot of things i'd rather do than read. from this pile i've already read six books if you count The Great Gatsby's which i collect and have read more than once. some people love shoes (i'm not one of those people, i have like three pairs) and well, i love books!

i absolutely love what Penguin has done with the classics, especially everything Coraline Bickford-Smith has designed. you can check them out here. damn i need all those F. Scott Fitzgeralds.








ave you bought or read any good books lately? also i will review all the books i've read this year at some point. promise. happy weekend everybody!
