{BookoftheMonth} THE MORTAL INSTRUMENTS

A book or series of books does not get to be called supernatural or fantasy just because it has a werewolf in it. It does not mean it's a good book just because it made the shelf or is/was a bestseller. I take this genre of books very seriously. it so happens to be the genre I read most of and tend to enjoy most, yet there are the few that slip up. Similarly, I take my reading in general with a pinch of salt and plots get deep respect. If the book grips me from the beginning it's a good start. if it grips me the whole way through (bonus) we have found a winner. I think it would be fair to say I became obbsessed with this series about two thirds through the first book. Obbsessed, like, I read the characters biographies and didn't even put the book down to go to the toilet and finished the series within three weeks. That kind of obbsessed. I think I am just short of 8 years late to jump on this bandwagon. The first book in the series was published in 2007 and the last was published in 2014 but I started reading the series in 2013. Does that make it only 6 years late?

I loved the balance between romance and adventure. It was equally tense as it was exciting and happy and sad. This book is advertised as adult fantasy. I'm editing there. Insert that this book is so filled with adult context - families broken, world domination, darkness. Dude, this stuff is something serious. 

This book series played the biggest role in my 2014-self's life; in the form of too many hours fangirling (I google-imaged all the characters), reading the books one after the other consecutively. How very ABSOLUTELY AMAZING these books happen to be. Let's take a brief moment to relive the saga.

My mind goes deep after 9pm. I get all the sensitive, inspirational, world-leader thoughts out of my system and it's usually now when I start to configure my barbie doll empire. Get ready. Like, now, I am all about sketching a life size self-portrait and eating dessert spaghetti (Buddy style). The way things are going, my late night epiphanies will either lead to something extraordinary or something really dangerous, probably involving a vegan waffle overdose and a life support machine. I'm focusing on the extraordinary. Optimism.

Shoulder Length Hair Inspiration

<a href="http://www.bloglovin.com/blog/11597069/?claim=ag94rc4tn5w">Follow my blog with Bloglovin</a>
So here's the deal: my hair is at a crazy weird length at the moment - not quite ponytail long, but way past the bob definition. I had to redesign my go-to 7 day a week hair styles after I had my hair cut. I used to select a hairstyle out of about 3 reliable and well-tested choices and hope that no one would remember I wore it the previous Monday. Then I realised that brushing hair isn't a hairstyle. And I can't do ponytails really anymore. Instead I've been getting into chignons and loose plaits and digging middle partings which probably/definitely don't suit me except no one wants to tell me. 

Ps. It's 4 days into the new year. The resolutions are going full steam ahead. I resemble less of an underage-pregnant-whale at Christmas. I look 67% more like a zorse hybrid (so much cooler).
