It is very hard to find a black cat in a dark room,especially when there is no cat.






There I was,looking for something smart to write about,and then I hear this quote.And it strikes me.Boom.I just thought this is so smart and deep and yeah,I went all "Why not?" on it.So,let me explain what I believe this wants to say,in my very own way,a lot sillier,less metaphorical and just plain.Still.

 Have you ever thought about how we just expect a certain thing to happen,and always look for that thing in everything,just because we have already made a specific idea about the thing,and go all 'Well,that's how's supposed to happen,ain't it?' so that is what we set ourselves for.
We all look for that "black cat",if I may use this metaphor once again,in the room because we think that the cat is supposed to be there.We are expecting it to be,but it is hard to say whether it is or not,because the human eye is one easy thing to fool in the darkness,if one does not try to really see.
So this is what it really is.We look for the bad things(and I say this because black cats are supposed to be a symbol of bad-luck) in teh darkest of times.And we wait for them.And look for them.And search them wherever in reach.And we wait some more.
And it just ain't there.
We are foolish enough to trust in order to know what to expect from life,but truth is that we know nothing at all.We all have this crazy ideas of things and life,but they may be just as out of reach as the cat in the proverb.
And we may not even ever realise it.
Now tell me,ain't this sad?
Love always,
Me.

Gods, monsters and ugly sea fish - Frances Hardinge's DEEPLIGHT

Rating:  ★★★.75 / 5 Plot: For centuries the gods of the Undersea ruled the islands of the Myriad through awe and terror: they were very real, and very dangerous. Sacrifices were hurled into the waters to appease them, and every boat was painted with pleading eyes to entreat their mercy. They were served, feared and adored. Then, thirty years ago, the gods rose up in madness and tore each other apart. Now, none remain. The islands have recovered and the people have patched their battered ships and moved on. On one of these islands live Hark and his best friend Jelt. To them, the gods are nothing but a collection of valuable scraps to be scavenged from the ocean and sold. But now something is pulsing beneath the waves, calling to someone brave enough to retrieve it. Review: The more I think about this book, the more in awe I am even though it's been a while since I've finished it. I had heard people singing Hardinge's praise for age...

YOU SHOULD SEE ME IN A CROWN // book review

YOU SHOULD SEE ME IN A CROWN BY LEAH JOHNSON ★★★★★ CW: anxiety, panic attacks, mentions of death of a loved one, illness of loved one, homophobia (challenged) & outing    Synopsis:      Liz Lighty has always believed she's too black, too poor, too awkward to shine in her small, rich, prom-obsessed midwestern town. But it's okay -- Liz has a plan that will get her out of Campbell, Indiana, forever: attend the uber-elite Pennington College, play in their world-famous orchestra, and become a doctor.       But when the financial aid she was counting on unexpectedly falls through, Liz's plans come crashing down . . . until she's reminded of her school's scholarship for prom king and queen.

The sequel of my dreams? // MONSTROUS DESIGN blog tour

  I was lucky enough to be part of the blog tour for the first book in the series , Dangerous Remedy , last year and it's fair to say these characters have been, as is their way, living rentfree in my mind ever since. Not only was the first book such a fantastic read, it ended on a cliffhanger promising many more adventures to come, so I couldn't wait to get my hands on the second installment in this series. Thus, I shall share with you all things Monstrous Design  so that you can join in my excitement! Synopsis:  Following the thrills and spills of Dangerous Remedy, the Battalion of the Dead return in a dazzling new adventure, set amid the opulence and squalour of 18th-century London and Paris. 1794, London: Camille and Al are desperately hunting Olympe's kidnapper. From the glamorous excesses of the Vauxhall Pleasure Gardens to the city's seedy underbelly, they are caught in a dangerous game of lies and deceit. And a terrible new enemy lies in wait with designs more m...
