1q84 - Bookmark

A few months ago I made this bookmark for my dad on Father's day. It is inspired by his favourite book: "1q84". It is written by a Japanese author and I believe its partly inspired by the "1984" book by: George Orwell. I have read 1984 but I haven't read 1q84 yet. Let me know if you have read any of those and if 1q84is worth reading.

The Wrath and the Dawn

The Wrath and the Dawn - Duo-logy By: Renée Andien I just finished this duology and I can even think right now. The brilliance of this series hasn’t even sunk in yet.

If this book doesn't become a classic, then I don't know what will.  The Graveyard book follows Nobody Owens, Bod for short. He whole family becomes murdered one night when he was a baby. He then escapes to the graveyard and is taken in and raised by ghosts. However, as he grows older, he find himself wanting to explore the outside world. But are there more dangers outside the graveyard than Bod knows about? This story is about unusual relationships, bravery and that maybe not all ghosts are as evil as others. I have previously read Coraline which is another book by Neil Gaiman. What I have discovered that although his writing is not particularly complex, the scenes he creates are so amazingly realistic and intriguing. It empathizes on the main surroundings and some specific details but leaves the rest to imagination. All of Neil Gaiman's stories and characters are so unique but I especially loved the characters from this book. My favorites were Bod and his guardi...

Anya's Ghost by Vera Brosogol

The graphic novel “Anya’s Ghost” by Vera Brosgol is about Anya, who is in high school. In the story, she encounters a ghost whom witnesses her trying to navigate her life as a teen. Throughout the storyline, the author exposes us to many adolescent issue that are commonly found among teenagers everywhere in the world. I really like the graphics and the story in general. I would recommend it to anyone who has experienced being a teen in the late 1900s or the 2100s. It is very relatable, and I can definitely imagine myself in many of the situations encountered in the book.
