TBR TAKEDOWN: Week 15 (September 8)

TLDR: I have too many unread books, and I’m asking tumblr to help me downsize. Pick one or none - it doesn't have to be something you've read, just the one you think sounds the worst! Comments and reblogs welcome, book descriptions below the cut. See my pinned post for more info.

The Invisible Library by Genevieve Cogman

Irene must be at the top of her game or she'll be off the case – permanently . . .

Irene is a professional spy for the mysterious Library, which harvests fiction from different realities. And along with her enigmatic assistant Kai, she's posted to an alternative London. Their mission – to retrieve a dangerous book. But when they arrive, it's already been stolen. London's underground factions seem prepared to fight to the very death to find her book.

Adding to the jeopardy, this world is chaos-infested – the laws of nature bent to allow supernatural creatures and unpredictable magic. Irene's new assistant is also hiding secrets of his own.

Soon, she's up to her eyebrows in a heady mix of danger, clues and secret societies. Yet failure is not an option – the nature of reality itself is at stake.

The Silence of Bones by June Hur

1800, Joseon (Korea). Homesick and orphaned sixteen-year-old Seol is living out the ancient curse: “May you live in interesting times.” Indentured to the police bureau, she’s been tasked with assisting a well-respected young inspector with the investigation into the politically charged murder of a noblewoman.

As they delve deeper into the dead woman's secrets, Seol forms an unlikely bond of friendship with the inspector. But her loyalty is tested when he becomes the prime suspect, and Seol may be the only one capable of discovering what truly happened on the night of the murder.

But in a land where silence and obedience are valued above all else, curiosity can be deadly.

Devil and the Bluebird by Jennifer Mason-Black

Blue Riley has wrestled with her own demons ever since the loss of her mother to cancer. But when she encounters a beautiful devil at her town crossroads, it's her runaway sister's soul she fights to save. The devil steals Blue's voice--inherited from her musically gifted mother--in exchange for a single shot at finding Cass.

Armed with her mother's guitar, a knapsack of cherished mementos, and a pair of magical boots, Blue journeys west in search of her sister. When the devil changes the terms of their deal, Blue must reevaluate her understanding of good and evil and open herself up to finding family in unexpected places.

My friend (and classmate) I made in college kinda reminds me of both Ed and Eddy. She and I live in the same city and our university is in the neighboring city, so we take the same bus together, so it was very convenient to have made friends with her.

Anyway, sometimes we're having random conversations without much meaning about specific things or doing something silly together (the other day we were watching The Backyardigans before class), sometimes she's lying to achieve her goals and taking shortcuts so she doesn't have to work hard. It's common for us to disagree on certain topics (but we don't fight) and for her to be surprised by my honesty and my commitment to not missing class, rain or shine, while she constantly skips class just because she doesn't feel like it and makes up some excuse for her grandmother and the teachers (once she even asked me to lie to the teacher about why she was absent and I refused and I was amazed that she thought I'd do something like that). And sometimes she's excitedly filling me with information about stories she likes to read, telling me what's going on as if I know the characters and the story. I usually can't follow everything she says, but her infodumping is really cute.

Well, she has a fake cockroach to scare others stored in her bag, but she's the one who gets scared most of the time because she forgets about the cockroach and gets scared when she opens her bag. I can totally see Eddy doing this xD

The Tao Te Ching is a Chinese classic text and foundational work of Taoism traditionally credited to the sage Lao Tzu, though the text’s authorship, date of composition and date of compilation are debated. The oldest excavated portion dates to the late 4th century BC. 

The Tao Te Ching is central to both philosophical and religious Taoism, and has been highly influential to Chinese philosophy and religious practice in general.

[andreamorgan19]

There's nothing like the satisfaction you get from watching Coriolanus in BOSAS and then binging the rest of THG series and completely watching him die a little inside every time Katniss does something. Because we know that EVERYTHING she did reminded him of his past. Of Sejanus, of Lucy Gray, and even of himself. When he watched the District 12 Reaping, don't you think he remembered that conversation with Lucy Gray by the lake. When he saw 12's quaint traditions, such as the three-finger salute, don't you think it reminded him of Sejanus? And, most importantly, when Katniss could have killed Peeta, left him to die, SHE DIDN'T. She made the choice Snow didn't. And I believe, in that moment, that's when he REALLY began to hate her.

Can you guys guess which one is me? xD

Yep, it's a scarf I asked to customize to look like Edd's scarf. I left my orange jacket hanging on my chair, but one day I'll show you my full Edd's cosplays.

Anyway, this is me with some of my college classmates and our Descriptive Statistics professor. The girl next to me on the left ⬅️ (my right side) is my friend who I told you reminds me of both Ed and Eddy, and who's also the Mabel to my Dipper. Our first meeting was in college and now she's a very close friend of mine.

Mason: Did you know that there's a rumor going around that you're in love with Theo?

Liam: A rumor? Are you telling me people are doubting it?

Symbolism, a treatise on the soul of things; how the natural world is but a symbol of the real world. The pack of playing cards, or book of fifty-two, an ancient masonic Bible; each card a symbol of universal law. The United States a masonic nation, whose duty and history are read in these ancient sacred symbols. By Milton Alberto Pottenger.
