Buying More Books, Thoughts on Lady Midnight, & Randomness
Hey y'all! What a day, what a day. Really the title of this post should be, "Another Day, Another Book I Bought". Cause yep, I bought more books lol. I found Lord of Shadows and Queen of Air and Darkness for a great deal at Walmart and just HAD to get 'em. I didn't take a photo of Lord of Shadows because I don't really like the cover, but I do like the spine, so maybe I'll show that on my instagram soon. But isn't Queen of Air and Darkness soooo pretty??!!! I LOVE IT! I just know that book is gonna break my heart. The last book in the Infernal Devices trilogy (also by Cassandra Clare) ripped my heart out and threw it on the ground. I think this series will STOMP on my heart for good measure.
Which leads me to discuss Lady Midnight, the first in the Dark Artifices trilogy by Cassandra Clare. I'm about halfway through it and it's been a bit slow going for me to get into, BUT I'm totally into it now. I just love Julian so much; how sweet he is and caring and protective of his little siblings. It doesn't hurt that he's an artist too <3 Reading about his hidden feelings for Emma just kill me and I'm so happy she's finally becoming a bit aware cause man, was she clueless for a long while there. I just don't see how their relationship isn't going to end in disaster. I've avoided all spoilers so far, so yay me! But I guess I'll just have to continue through the series and see.
So, what have I done today? Well, I woke up at around 5-ish in the morning after a bad dream. It was a stupid bad dream honestly. This is what the dream was about: Me, my mom, and my brother were in our house (which was a mash up of our current house and our old house in North Carolina). My dog Nigel was there (he's been dead for a few years now) and also my cats. All of a sudden, we hear someone break into our house and what does my mom do? Run towards the break-in noise and yell at me and my brother to protect the pets and fight back. Well, 2 seconds later, we hear my mom get shot and die. What does my brother do? Sprint away into the wind, never to be seen again. I run past my dog, climb out a window onto a balcony where my cat is in a bathtub, run past her onto the roof and I disappear as well and boom, dream ends. But I woke up feeling SO guilty and sad that I didn't listen to my mom and that I didn't save her. I guess my dream was telling me I'm a coward inside lol.
After I got over that, I hung out with my dad for a bit (he's an early riser) and watched the fog roll in during sunrise. It was so pretty and eerie, to see the fog move, twist, and turn like a ghost in the wind. It spread out over the plains and hills beyond our neighborhood and then the sun burned it away. I love watching nature like that, either early in the morning or late at night, when everything is still and quiet. That's when magic happens.
The rest of the day I spent with my brother. We went to Walmart (where I bought my books and a 100 pack of Crayola Supertips markers, great for coloring!) and then to the grocery store by our house to get stuff for the family. Tonight is going to be quiet, dad will be at a dinner meeting, so yay! I don't have to cook! (I disintegrated meatloaf the other night...let's not talk about that cooking failure).
I'm going to read Lady Midnight and Crazy Rich Asians ( I need something funny to go with tragic romance) and color with my new markers while watching YouTube. I'm also going to treat myself to some soda, pizza, and cookies. Because guess what? Tomorrow is diet day and boy am I sad. But it must be done.
What are y'alls plans for tonight? Doing anything fun or just going to chill at home like me? Whatever you choose, I hope you have a wonderful time. See ya tomorrow!
Alette
