Hello audience~
So I haven't been blogging since first day of November (sidenote:.. even though I said that I would but then again I say many things... and not do them until a long period of time. My friend, Indiana, knows this very well. This is a common thing.) and I feel like I've forgotten how to blog. Plus I've just started a new book just the other day so I don't have much to talk about right now.
:I
But anyway, the book that I'm currently reading about is called The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafón. It was originally written in Spanish, translated by Lucia Graves. I chose this book because I needed an independent novel to read for class (I lended a friend a copy of And Then There Was None by Agatha Christie). After browsing the classroom library (and saying no many times) I came across Zafón's book.
It stood out to me because of its title. It sounded very familiar to me and it reminded me of another book that I had read years ago. After reading the flap for the summary, I realized that I knew this book.
I had read about it on Wikipedia when I was like ten-ish, eleven-ish. And I remember wanting to read this book; I think I even bookmarked the page. I never did get a chance to read it when I was younger but now it's in my hands. Literally!!! And now it's not. I've set it down.
But for this book to find me (and for me to find this book) years after I discovered it, it must be fate~ I have to read this book.
And so far, I love it. Maybe love is a strong word, too strong to describe what my current feelings about this book but I'm on page 56 right now. And I really want to continue it.
I already have some inferences about the story. I dog-eared the pages and kept the thoughts tucked in all nice and snug in my mind. I'm not going to share them right now. Because I really want to get this post done so I can read.
So this is where the post has to end. I'll talk to you next time~
P.S. What's another word I can use in place of "so"?
That's so cool! It's funny how things like that happen. Hopefully it turns out well and becomes one of your favorite books.
ReplyDeleteUh. If you want to sound fancy, use "thus" instead of so. Synonyms for "so" depend on the context of the "so" If you're desperate, I'd go to dictionary.com and look up synonyms. Anyways. I have a similar problem. I tell myself that I'm definitely going to read, then blow it off. Gosh. I want to be an avid reader but I just can't. Hopefully you can stay with this book! (And me with mine...)
