The Silver Study [book shower]

[Cilencio Cerbera]

Sounds like a slow burn book

[silverberry]

It's pretty well-paced IMHO - but it's more sedate, like a Ghibli movie where a lot of space is allotted just to showing mundane life, traveling, and showing off the scenery. It contributes a lot to characterization, but it also could be too slow and boring to those who prefer something plot-important happening every few paragraphs.

I see, so it more for character development than action pack

But how's the mystery part? Is it well designed?

I'm glad yall like the Wanderer!


The book sounds intriguing! Character development is good! Some stories have too much action and not enough development of characters

One of the coolest clothes combo I'd ever seen

Do you record your awesome combos in fashion show forum Pix? npixelz

[npixelz]

I should, but it's a hassle, so I only do it with Pokemon avatars in the Pokemon cosplay thread

It's straightforward - there aren't really any tight twists or any multi-layered plots going on, just the slow unraveling of the chara. The simplicity of it didn't stop me from still feeling bad for the chara tho.

True - tension can make for a riveting read, but having that breathing space to get to know the characters and to feel the toll the events had taken on them is also important!

Wow, you guys are inspiring & make me miss reading.

[npixelz]

I need to get back to multiple books lol

[silverberry]

Been reading e-books for a while, but having a physical copy is still such a different experience

Ooo what books do you have on-hold atm?

[npixelz]

The Star Wars Plagueis book, the Pokemon B2W2 manga, the Magic Thief books, and various other manga

Something about holding a book & being able to flip through pages is relaxing.

I heard the Star Wars original trilogy novelizations were good. I probably should check out the other novels - there's a bunch of them in a second hand bookstore.
OOO Magic Thief seems interesting, tho it might not be the style I enjoy anymore. Maybe my sister might enjoy it more.

Very true! Physical copies are also just easier to annotate/underline

[npixelz]

I never read the original trilogy books, but I have the Attack of the Clones novelization from the prequels
Yeah, it's a little different than what I'm used to, not sure exactly why, but I still like it
