#booklr

as a way to celebrate 5 years of blogging, I reread a few of my favorite books from 2017! check out how my thoughts on these books have changed since then.

It’s either,

“Oh I read that in 1889 mind reminding me a bit.”

OR

“ Yeah it’s in my reading list, I’ll probably read it in 2059”

Everytime I wish to fangirl on a book with someone.

2/10 Days of Productivity

Well, turns out i was about to give up on the second day.

• Solved a few maths problems

That’s it. I need to study more, i’m falling behind on my one(1) and only summer class.

1/10 Days of Productivity

I love setting challenges for myself and i thought about the “100 dop”. But the “100 dop” thing was too much for me because i know i’d never be able to follow it and end up frustrated then i thought “what about 10 days”. So even though 10 days seems like nothing, it’s better than nothing.

• I studied maths for an hour
• I read for 30 mins
• I went for an hour of walk

Through the eyes of a train.

“I’m nineteen and I’m on fire”

Some of the books i’ve read this year so far: “Zaman Makinesi (The Time Machine)” by H. G. Wells, “On Küçük Zenci (And Then There Were None)” by Agatha Christie, “1984” by George Orwell, “Bir Mars Destanı (A Martian Odyssey and Selected Stories)” by Stanley G. Weinbaum, “Bir Noel Şarkısı (A Christmas Carol)” by Charles Dickens.

I can’t math.

My old friend, the walnut tree.

The SilmarillionandUnfinished Tales by J.R.R. Tolkien

These Harper Collins editions are bound using Tolkien’s original watercolour illustrations

I’ve been in a calligraphy mood lately …

The above is an excerpt from The Art of the Lord of the Rings, depicting Tolkien’s own title design for the dust jacket of The Two Towers. I just love his handwriting, especially the way he does his Ts; it‘s very elvish-looking.

The Art of The Lord of the Ringsby Wayne G. Hammond and Christina Scull

This book collects numerous maps and sketches that served as visual aids to Tolkien as he wrote his famous masterpiece. The book also comes in a beautiful slipcase, and is decorated with some of Tolkien’s original artwork.

The SilmarillionandUnfinished Tales, both by J.R.R. Tolkien

These are the Harper Collins hardback editions, featuring some of Tolkien’s original artwork on the covers.
