Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas

I love EVERYTHING about this book! I love how Celaena is a kickass heroine of a protagonist, and how she manages to be the best assasin of her kind, yet loves books AND fashion. I love how Dorian and Chaol are so equally charming it makes it hard to choose (but my heart leans towarda #chaolaena), and I also love how the plot excites you every moment of the book.

One of my favourite novels, would definitely recommend it to everyone! ❤️

Sometimes, everything fades, to black & white, and nothing, nothing, seems alright, but it is, and you will be okay, so cheer up, it’s a brand new day, paint a smile on that face, one that stays awhile, a smile, that is true, one you wear, with everything that you do, one you share, with everyone old & new.

The new and larger library is mostly completed! (Except for a few small touches, this is it!)

My books are a mess and completely out of order but I’ll get around to that. It’s much bigger and you know what that means…more books I can buy ;)

My mum has been amazing in doing this room and getting it all finished so fast. Truly grateful for her and the library!

I’m going to go and read now :)

[wordsnquotes]

Intelligence is one of the greatest human gifts. But all too often a search for knowledge drives out the search for love. This is something else I’ve discovered for myself very recently. I present it to you as a hypothesis: Intelligence without the ability to give and receive affection leads to mental and moral breakdown, to neurosis, and possibly even psychosis. And I say that the mind absorbed in and involved in itself as a self-centered end, to the exclusion of human relationships, can only lead to violence and pain.

I could not stop talking because now I had started my story, it wanted to be finished. We cannot choose where to start and stop. Our stories are the tellers of us.

So I went to an art conference at my school. We discussed things there, like how colors can be very powerful and our subconscious picks up the subtlest of hints. Pixar’s UP was a very unforgettable example. The colors of UP had a lot to do with why we cried. You all know what I’m talking about, right??

Ellie’s death.

We were told that her color was pink. That’s why her hospital room had pinkish hue.

And the next scene had strong pink hues. He misses her. I think it’s got strong colors because of her personality.

Also, It’s like her presence is still lingering.

When he got home, only a small part of the frame (window on the right) has a pink hue as the sun is setting. By now, we know her presence is drifting away.

Mr. Fredricksen walks up the porch and goes into his house.

And when he shuts the door, the final frame looks like this:

Ellie is gone.

The entire frame is desaturated and cold because the warmth in Mr. Fredrickson’s life is gone.

And that’s another reason why this masterpiece is heart-wrenching. And that’s how powerful colors are in films.

The best part of the day. Those few seconds when you’re awake but empty. You forget where you are. What you are now, what you were before. It’s all breath and heartbeat and blood moving.The peace of the void.
