'Melted' Bookcase

'Melted' bookcase inspired by the art of Salvador Dali.

Except for FaceBOOK

Back cover of Ellen's book

Now I have to buy it. XD

They might be giants

Now that's just mean. 

I like the irony of the 'Horror' section being somewhat close to the 'Bibles' and 'Christian Fiction', though. :p

One sentence can change the whole Harry Potter story

Indeed. That would be disappointing. And incredibly sad.

Axe Bookshelf

Wouldn't my horror books look just FABULOUS on that??? *-*

Maybe I should have posted that on Halloween... ok, everybody, let's pretend today is Halloween and this a holiday-appropriate post, not in the least weird or homicidal, like me. :P

Who Decided Brown Eyes/Hair Are Ugly?

After I saw this post by Renae: "Respiring Thoughts: Who Decided Brown Eyes Are Ugly?" I started getting very pissed off, right along with her.

She says:

"In portraying brown-eyed/brown-haired girls who are never okay with how they look, authors appear to tell readers that brown-eyed/brown-haired girls are not as beautiful as blond girls.

That’s not okay with me."

Well, it's not okay with me either!!!

Aren't most people on Earth now dark-haired and/or even dark-eyed? What's with the majority of characters in books being blond or red-haired? 

I mean, in real life the statistics don't lie: Blondes: As blond hair tends to turn brunette with age, natural blonde hair is rare and makes up approximately 2% of the world's population and Redheads: are only 1–2% of the human population.

Every time I open a book, the chances of reading about a light haired heroine are, well, too damn high.

I mean, all I see is:

And that bothers me. It does make me me feel ugly/self-conscious for having brown hair. Not just ugly, but unwanted. I mean, all those tall, dark heroes want is a pretty blonde/redhead? What about the rest of us? Funny about that is: most heroes are dark-haired. And even dark-eyed. Now if that's not a double standard, then I don't know what is.

And there is something that is even more confusing. Everytime I read about one of those pretty light-haired heroines, I immediately turn to the author's page. And do you know what I almost always see? A picture of a dark-haired writer there. Sure, I get it that authors should write about women different from themselves, but if they all write about the same kind of heroine... then where's the fun in that?

I admit it. I have trouble enjoying certain titles because I just can't symphatize with the poor pretty blond/reddish beauty queen sometimes. Sure, I try to focus on other things (like plot or the hero, for instance), but it still ruins quite a few stories for me. Every once in a while I just want to read about a simple brunette, ok? Is that too much to ask? 

I do have issues concerning blondness, that's for sure. LOL. I was not born one and never forgave my father for not giving me his hair and blue eyes, so I'm specially rebelious on this subject. :P I am more accepting now that I'm older, and started to learn to love the contrast of my dark hair and eyes on my paler skin, but it wasn't easy. In my country everybody seems to be coloring their hair blonde... even the African descendents (same goes for famous singers nowadays. Nicki Minaj and Beyonce get whiter and blonder everyday...). But I digress. (I do that a lot.).

What do you think? Does it bother you, too? 

Great book. Don't judge it by its cover.

'How to screw in the dark'

So... don't judge a book by its cover. LOL.

The entrance of a bookstore (in Lyon)

What if I took one of those books on the side...? :P

Great idea for sale

Don't you just love it? *evil laugh*

Portal Bookends

Oooh, that looks like a fun thing to add to a bookshelf. :)

Mine already has so much useless stuff... one more wouldn't hurt.

"Spoiler Alert" troll billboard

There's always someone to ruin the surprise... even if it is just a bit late. LOL.

Who needs a bookshelf when you can do this?

I would rather still get a bookshelf, but... nice try, I guess. LOL. I don't think you'll be re-reading any of those from the middle and lower parts anytime soon, though. :3

Yup, we've all read the books. :)

The Boy/Girl Who...

That definitely says it all. 

Random Wednesday / Shut Up and Take My Money!! #2

Donkey Kong Bookshelf!!! *-*

Very stylish. LOL. I'd love one. Too bad I don't have the space. Or the money. >.>

Perfect place to read a book / Randomness

That looks so comfy... I'll add that to my 'Perfect House' fold. :P

P.S.: Now that my blogger friends have spoken, I realize it would need cushions. LOL. But I believe the position would be good for long reading periods. ;)

Sorry, Twilight fans. But it's true. / Random Wednesday

Thanks for reminding me! I did the -almost- exact same thing! Only I used a hardcover copy and made it into a 'hollow book', and now hide things inside it. :P No one EVER touches it. It's a good place to hide money during trips. Who would look inside a book, especially a TWILIGHT book? LOL. :3

Shut up and take my money!!!

 

Ooooh, I want one of those!!! *-*

How I Feel Everytime Someone Starts Talking About This Great New Movie/Series

And then they're all like: 'There's a book?' >.>
