3 ⭐This book uses the idea of amusement park to discuss the various animals one would find in the ocean. It‘s interesting and educational. I really do like the illustrations however, as fantastic as they are I think they do little to service the information that‘s being portrayed. This book would have been better with real pictures of the real animals.

This one‘s up next. It‘s a reread. Being lost in the hush of an endless dusk these days makes book like this comforting.

I‘ve never really given a thought about how all the books we read follow similar archetypes; precisely 7 as per this book.

dabbe One of the best books I've ever read. I'll even go further and say that all 7 can be whittle down to 1: the hero's quest. I think Joseph Campbell would agree with me. 😍 #theherowithathousandfaces 2d
SanjanaGhosh You‘re right, I guess every story involves some sort of quest, even if it‘s just an emotional one! 2d
MariaW Gosh, I have had this one on my shelf for forever. I thought the topic is quite interesting, started it already at least a dozen times, but never found the right time to calm down properly and carefully read it. I definitely have to try again. 💪💪💪 1d

Nicholas Nickleby | Charles Dickens

Does anyone else struggle with finishing a good classic book because you know it is good for you to read it? Why is this taking me forever????? I really liked it in the beginning but went on vacation and now I can't get back into it. Any suggestions from those of you who have read it? Help me, please!!! 😂

Nothing Grows by Moonlight | Torborg Nedreaas
post image

#TuesdayTunes @TieDyeDude

The episode in Nedreaas's "Nothing Grows by Moonlight" where the unnamed narrator recalls the day she left home to escape a stultifying life for the self-deluding fantasy of a happy life with a lover who insists on the secrecy of their assignations, while not entirely matching the lyrics of "She's Leaving Home", is close enough that the one reminded me of the other. And any excuse to listen to this song is a good one ?

lil1inblue Oooh! I'm intrigued. And yes, any excuse for The Beatles is a welcome one. 3d
