Hey everyone,

SO for some reason I lost my post here... so I shall start again!

 

My favourite style of books right now are colouring books! (Did you guess that one!?)

& I'm totally loving the work from Hana Karlzon & Maria Trolle 😄

 

Here are some colourings from last year, please excuse the scanning bits at the top 😛

my fave book series is outlander. very good indeed but needs to be age restricted due to the content and nature of some of the themes. 

 

@Beecolouring in books are awesome!

I have soooo many colouring books @scared01! last count was over 50! I think I'm a tad obsessed 😄
(I blame the psych and my counsellor of 2015! lol The psych suggested it, and then the counsellor I was seeing at the time only encouraged me even more! hahaha)

Colouring books can be so much fun @Bee @scared01! 😄 Although a lot of them are too detailed for me (I'm so nitpicky :P)

I'm going to be a tiny bit of a cheat and say (and the moment) my all time favourite series is Terry Pratchett's Discworld 😄 😄

@N1ghtW1ng @scared01 no not in a hurry at least haha!
I like a mix, which is probably why I have so many! I like these artists because there's a mix of little detail and large spaces... And sometimes the details are just shaded one colour with me LOL!

Hey guys 🙂 Just popping in, I'm pretty sleepy tonight 😛 But I cannot go without telling you how great the following books are:
45 and 47 Stella Street by Elizabeth Honey is the greatest book of all time. There's no competition. It's the most incredible, fabulous, magnificent work of literature in all of history.
It's Not All About You, Calma, by Barry Jonsberg is also super good, as is the Artemis Fowl series by Eoin Colfer 😄
Night guys 🙂

Heya @roseisnotaplant thanks for popping by! I know Artemis Fowl! Hahaha I've heard good things 😄
@Nightruner23 Discworld from Terry Pratchett, the Phantom Stallion series, all of Rick Roirdians myth series, and MORE! (I'm feeling lazy :P) There's always so many to choose from!

Time for the next question! 😄 

 

What is your favourite book-to-movie movie? (or your least favourite? because we all know they aren't the greatest)

Ohhh I've read/seen a few and the only two I can think of right now are Marey & Me and The Fault in Our Stars. Both of which the Book was so much better! (oh now I miss reading!) I laughed and cried MORE in the book or Marley & Me than I did in the movie, and I cried more in the book of The Fault in our Stars than the movie...

"I used to dream about escaping my ordinary life, but my life was never ordinary. I had simply failed to notice how extraordinary it was." - Ransom Riggs, Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children.

Terry Pratchett's books have some great quotes, definitely worth the google if you're interested 🙂

Actually my favourite would have to be the Hogfather (I'm in a real Terry Pratchett loving mood :D) It's in two parts and it's great. In fact, all of the Terry Pratchett movies are pretty great. There's Going Postal, Hogfather and the Colour of Magic.

@Nightruner23 my friends have recommended berserk to me. The art is amazingly intense and visceral. I commend anyone who can draw such graphic and scenes full of so much activity! I havent read it yet, just checked out some of the pics :3
