Yoo hoo! *waves hanky* It's me again with another special delivery!
Did you know that today is Book Lover's Day? No? Well, neither did I until Shaylmesse (#13314) brought it to my attention-- and I'm blushing to have to admit my ignorance, because there are few greater pleasures than curling up with a good book! If you're like me and would just love to have your own little personal library, why don't you try Shaylmesse's gift on for size?
The Book Lover's Background is available in the Advent Calendar for the duration of today and tomorrow, up until August 10th, 11:59pm.
Ooh, but wait! There's more!
Tell me your favourite book (and why!) in the comments and you could be in with a chance of winning this set of custom crystals! I'm in need of some good new holiday reads and I'm sure I can't be the only one. :3 Chime in by August 10th, 11:59pm to ensure your spot in the draw (one entry per account, please).
Ooh, but wait! There's even more!!!
Do you remember I mentioned earlier in the week that I was having a tidy of my inbox? The invitation (and encouragement!) to nudge your outstanding Artist Pay is still open, but today I am asking you to bump up PMs pertaining to Lunarii switches. That means if you picked up the wrong Lunaris for the month and you're still waiting on me to swap 'em around for you, point yourself to my inbox sharpish!
Phew! Okay! That's everything - probably! Who knows! Yay! Exclamation marks!
Thank you for the background, Shaylmesse!
Just smell those new pages!

The Water Mirror from the Merle-Trilogie it's the first book written by Kai Meyer. And why I like it It is an amazing fantasy book with a lot of unexpected twists and turns along the story line.

Hard choice but currently my favourite book is Inferno by Dan Brown - the fourth Robert Langdon story and well more mysterious then ever.. plus it takes part in northern Italy, which is a great setting.. so I can really just recommend this book!

Sorry. I like it because of the raw emotion portrayed in it. It shows just how evil a person can be, and what lengths a person will go to so they can achieve happiness. I'm talking about Flowers in the Attic, just in case I have to put this again.

Watership Down. As to why... I'm not entirely sure. I just know that while I read a lot, there are only a handful of books that I've read time and time again and continued to enjoy over the past twenty years, and this is one (very close runner-up: A Wrinkle in Time.) I've always liked animals, and yes there are a lot of books involving animals as the main characters, but the animals in a number of them are quite anthropomorphic. To me, the rabbits in Watership Down ARE rabbits. Of course the author has taken creative license with them, but these are not rabbits that think and understand things just as humans do. They have a culture, and some are more intelligent than others, but on the whole they are still very much animals.

I currently have a thing for Gena Showalter's paranormal romance series "Lords of the Underworld". I'm a few books behind, but of all the ones i have read, they are all thoroughly enjoyable!

Gone by Michael Grant is a really great one I've read some time ago. Quite a bit of action and kids with magical powers. Once I started reading it, I couldn't stop. c:

I've always love A Fault in Our Stars by John Green. It's this amazing book that sympathized with me on a lot of levels. It talks about this girl fighting cancer and the fact that though she is not afraid of dying, she wishes it doesn't have to hurt everyone else. There was a quote in Julius Caesar that was ""The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars,But in ourselves, that we are underlings." It was meant to convey that it isn't the world's fault that we are having trouble. It's our own. However, the book shows differently. There /is/ a Fault in Our Stars. The World isn't perfect... and bad things happen to good people. What would a young girl do that deserved lung cancer? The Fault is not in ourselves alone... but in the Stars as well. I've always loved being reminded of that... because it helps remind me that though it's probably still impossible to fight the stars, I can still try. She did, I can too.

The Gunslinger (7 book series but the first one is called The Gunslinger) by Stephen King.
Probably the best set of books ever written and they're so great and not really Stephen King-esque at all. They're like...adventure/western kind of? They are so amazing and I want to read them a million billion times @@

I'm quite fond of the Xanth series by Piers Anthony myself. I first stumbled upon his book Dragon on a Pedestal and I've been quite interested in the series since. It's quite a fun read and so far what other books in the series I've read have been just as entertaining. ^-^
