『books - T5W』Top Worlds/ Author Blurbs on a Book



Top Worlds


Well, let me think...


The Wizard World - Harry Potter - J.K. Rowling
Who wouldn't want to live there and visit Diagon Alley or Hogsmead.  I really wish I could wander the streets of a peaceful Wizard World at least one time.

Middle Earth - The Lord of the Rings/ Hobbit - J.R.R. Tolkin
I totally want to see the world and travel by horse to see a lot of it. Visiting Elves or just sitting around, chilling and eating with Hobbits. Maybe getting through some small adventures. That would be some great holidays. ^^

Shadowhunter World - TMI/ TID - Cassandra Clare
I actually would love to see Alicante and even the Bone City. It must be so interesting to visit there. I think I wouldn't be a Shadowhunter and do all the action parts of live. I just want to visit there as a tourist and learn something about the history. Maybe having a nice little talk with Magnus or so. 

Inkheart World - Inkheart trilogy - Cornelia Funke
I would love to see the Inkheart World. Not while it get's destroyed or something, but to experience some nice litte adventures or just getting to know a world which was original created for a story.




Author Blurbs on a Book (When an author blurbs something great that ends up quoted on the cover or back cover of a new book)

I had too look through nearly all my books to find some blurbs, because I never really pay attention to them. It was quite a hard time finding some, but here they are...


"Divergent is a captivating, fascinating book that kept me in constant suspense and was never short on surprise. It will be a long time before I quite thinking about this haunting vision of the future."  — James Dashner about Veronica Roth's "Divergent"

"The world of Unravel Me is terrifying and unique; its characters steam with passion, and Tahereh Mafi's bold, inventive prose crackles with raw emotion."  — Rasnom Riggs about Tahereh Mafi's "Unravel Me"

"The Graveyard Book is endlessly inventive, masterfully told, and, like Bod himself, too clever to fit into only one place. This is a book for everyone. You will love it to death."  — Holly Black about Neil Gaiman's "The Graveyard Book"

"The Mortal Instruments series is a story world that I love to live in. Beautiful."  — Stephenie Meyer about Cassandra Clare's "City of Bones"

"This kind of fun will never fail to delight."  — Phillip Pullman about Eva Ibbotson's "Monster Mission"




Complete list of T5Wlers! ^^

『books - T5W』Top Love Triangles/ Series You Won't Finish

Top Love Triangles

I actually can't think of any, because I just hate that. i don#t really see the point in it and I always get way too annoyed with this. I just skip this one. XP



Series You Won't Finish

This is another hard question. I can't think of any on my shelf I won't finish. I like to finish a series, even when I'm not that fond of it anymore, e.g. "The House of Night" by P.C. & Kristin Cast. It got so  incredibly bad by now but I won't stop. I just want to know the stupid ending. I want to be able to fully judged it.

『books - T5W』Top Blue Covers (of books you own)/ Fictional Schools You'd Want to Attend

For this month of T5W I'll be doing the questions from August and September, because the questions for August weren't online before I left for Tokyo. But since I want to do them as well I decided to combine them. ^^ So this month will be a doubled T5W.

I always  like to answer the questions, because they make me think about books I almost forgot about or just let you remember something else from the story then just the main plot or something similar.

So lets have some fun with the double feature of T5W in littel Dark Wonderland. ^o^



Top Blue Covers (of books you own)

As always in no particular order:


 

Unravel Me - Tahereh Mafi
This is just one intense cover. I like the icy effects around the eye and how all the different shades of blue and white fit together, with just a little hint of a light purply pinkish touch.




Four - A Divergent Collection - Veronica Roth
I like this cover the best from the Divergent series. It might sound strange, but I like how this one plays all together and how the sparkling ferries wheel is so intense within all the darker shades of blue. 




Syren - Book five of the Septimus Heap Series - Angie Sage
This is more a turquoise than a blue in real life, but I like how simple this is. I also like how the golden symbols give you little hints of the story and how the colours fit together.




Paradise Kiss - Ai Yazawa
What can I say other than that I just love Ai Yazawa's drawings. I like how she can combine the drawing of a fashion sketch with the typical style of manga. Also the different shades of blue are a nice touch to it. 




Kagen no Tsuki - Last Quarter of the Moon - Ai Yazawa
And again it's the drawing style of Yazawa-san which makes this one so appealing. But this time a few more things play into it. I like the composition of it and how the cover gives you little hints of the story. Also the play of colour and layering is a very different one as the one from Paradise Kiss. 




Fictional Schools You'd Want to Attend

I actually can only think of one school and this is Hogwarts from J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter. But I would hope that there will nothing scary happen. XD"
