Is there anything better than iced coffee and a bookstore on a sunny day? I mean, aside from hot coffee and a bookstore on a rainy day.

How book lovers are called across Europe

In French, the word for “bookworm” is “rat de bibliothèque” (library rat). In German, it’s “Bücherwurm” (bookworm). In Italy, the most common way to describe a book lover is “topo di biblioteca,”  which is a library mouse. The same in Spain – “ratón de biblioteca” is nothing else but a library mouse.

“ I huff a laugh and roll my eyes. You’re the worst. “You’ll love me someday.” One of my steps falters. Today is that day. Maybe yesterday too. And the day before that. Maybe for a while, in fact. I can’t tell exactly when it started, but I don’t think it will ever stop. ― Brynne Weaver, Butcher & Blackbird so so good

Was in the city centre today and decided to just treat myself.

I’m almost finished with this and I’ve been having mixed feelings about it. Let’s see if the ending changes my mind. 👀

What inspired you to start your writing journey?

First of all, I'd like to thank you for this question. Honestly, it's quite a funny story, and it all started with the first book I ever willingly read. The book was called 'School for Good and Evil,' and at least the first part was greatly liked by my mother. Because it was a very thick book, my mother and I made a bet that I wouldn't finish reading it. In the end, my nine-year-old self not only read the first part but also the second and subsequent third parts. At this point, my mother decided not to continue reading because she didn't enjoy it anymore.

To encourage her to keep reading, I wrote my first story about Cinderella and her siblings. A story where she doesn't need a man but instead, family is all that matters. Indirectly, this was, of course, a fanfiction of the 'School for Good and Evil' books mixed with a fairytale retelling. After that, I couldn't stop writing. The words wanted to come out of me more and more, and I discovered it was a good way to communicate my feelings. At first, I wrote a lot of fan fiction until I decided at thirteen to publish a book.

Since then, I've worked on different projects and tried out various genres until I got completely engrossed in a story: my upcoming debut novel, which I'm currently working on. By the way, despite my first story, my mother never continued reading the books.

To all the other writers, why did you start writing and how? Tell me your story!

God.

Book lover's paradise... 📚

The library of Trinity College in Dublin. Est. 1592.

Imagine being able to actually live there. Wandering the shelves on a daily basis. Digging in the smell. Picking up books at random. Gently touching the pages. Some of them older than your grand grand parents...

I'd sleep in the fictional section, amongst all the great ones...each morning sip my coffee in the poetry section. Pick a new book every day and read poems while the coffee steams on the side until it gets cold cause I got lost in 42 additional poems...

Imagine that.

When someone asks what I’m reading and I say it’s YA: If any older readers feel the same, I sure don’t!

When we are children we seldom think of the future. This innocence leaves us free to enjoy ourselves as few adults can. The day we fret about the future is the day we leave our childhood behind.

I would rather lose this entire war than live without you, and if that means I have to prove myself over and over, then I'll do it. You gave me your heart, and I'm keeping it.”  Rebecca Yarros, Fourth Wing

Reading a book in the middle of night is so peaceful and therapeutic,everyone around you are sleeping & only you are blushing hard just by reading over those lines.
