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!

My favourite book is The Lies of Locke Lamora by Scott Lynch.
It's just such a great book! The characters have so much personality, and it's gritty enough that it's nowhere near a boring read. I can't stand it when books are too predictable or when they have dull flawless protagonists with no weakness, but this book has plenty of twists and the protagonist is delightfully flawed!

The Beyonders Trilogy is so much fun! I read it even thought I'm a little old for it, and it's simple so pre-teens can read it, it's really cute and fun! If you're into fantasy or adventure, then these are books for you. (:

My favorite book(s) are the Maximum Ride series. It's the only series I've ever fully kept up with. I started them in middle school and read up until the last one came out. What drew me in about them was the fact that they were about a bunch of kids with wings, and when I was younger, I always wanted to fly, so in a way it was like a dream come true for my younger self.

The Silmarillion by J.R.R. Tolkien <3
I loved the Hobbit when I was little. I actually didn't read the Lord of the Rings until the first movie came out, but then I became obsessed and read everything by Tolkien that I could get my hands on. The Silmarillion is my favorite... so full of history and legends and poems and songs... he really did thoroughly create an entire world.

I don't really have a favorite book, but personally I really love the inheritance cycle books and the heroes of olympus (a spin of of the percy jackson books) I'm a huge fan of the fantasy novels, and for some reason I always find myself going to those books when I'm bored and want something to read.

Dragon Sword and Wind Child is one of my fav books of all. I first found it when I was in high school and was probably the one to ever check it out through the years I was there. I must have checked out that book over 500 times during high school. It's one of those books that I can read over and over without getting tired of it.

As of right now, my favorite book would have to be Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov. Though the topic of the book is somewhat disturbing (pedophilia), it's very interesting and the writing is fantastic. I highly recommend it. <3

I'll just claim WIlliam Joyce's Guardians of Childhood series. But American Gods was sort of life-changing for me, too. And Terry Pratchett's Discworld books are an amazing read - just bought a copy of 'Small Gods' today, my collection missed that. XD Susanne Clarke's 'Raven King' was something I coveted for a while too, until friends gifted me with it... It's not an easy read! And let's not forget about all of Gerald Durrel's books. And about 70% of this local franchise called M.A.G.U.S. - our writers can be really good, Renegades, Flames of North, Two Moons, the Beriquel Cycle and of course the Dark Prophet books are all wonderfully written. As well as the 'Mersant the Dark' series. And then there's fandom stuff, like Karen Traviss' Clone wars novels... LOVE them all! OH, OH, and a recommended read for everybody: Middle Ground by Ursula Zilinsky. Perfection.

Okay. It may sound silly and childish, but my favourite book is Winnie the Pooh by A. A. Milne. There's several books, but it's a really funny read, and just takes you back to when you were a little child. It's really delightful, you should try it.
