First of all pals, thank you so so much for the 200 followers 😍!! I am beyond grateful to you all. I would’ve made a post earlier, but I only post on Wednesdays and Sundays. But you all are so wonderful, I love you pals!! Thanks to each one of you for making me reach this milestone 💖.
Now, for the two tags, here we go:
Just Some Bibliophilic Things
Hey Pals!! Today, I am participating in another Just Some Bibliophilic Things. This is a weekly tag hosted by Riddhi @ Whispering Stories.
This Week’s Question: Who is your favourite author? Why? Which book is an absolute favourite of yours written by that particular author?
My favorite author for now is definitely Neil Gaiman. I haven’t read many books by him, just three, but I surely will read many more. There is just something unique about Gaiman’s writing style that I haven’t seen in any other author. He writes as one would use magic. His words have a lot of power and he always creates a dark, quiet, beautiful atmosphere in his books.
And that’s not the only thing. He’s a remarkable storyteller. I listened to Norse Mythology by him and though it took me a little while to get used to it, I was hooked to Gaiman’s voice. It is just spellbinding!! Absolutely incredible.
My favorite Neil Gaiman book is probably Norse Mythology or The Graveyard Book.
I loved this book so much that I have actually listened to it 3 times and since I don’t usually reread audiobooks, that says a lot.
I read it this one quite a good while ago and I emerged out of it being absolutely stunned. I can’t choose between the two, both are awesome.
Lost in Translation #1
This is tag created by Eryn @ Love Your Shelf. I was tagged by the creator herself. Thanks for tagging me Eryn. Basically, we take our last reads and use Google Translate to translate them into 3 different languages and then back to the original language to see how messy the results can be.
The Rules:
- Pick the last book you read.
- Put that book in Google Translate and translate it into 3 different languages, then back to English. (Please put which languages you used to translate them!)
- See how close (or how far) it is to the original book title.
- Lastly, put the original book title at the bottom and talk about your last read!
Translated Title (English-Kazakh-Portuguese-Serbian-English): Glass Odd
Any guesses? Which book could it be? Haha, time to roast Google Translate!!
Actual Title: Throne of Glass
Wow, what a roast, isn’t it!? I don’t think this book was “odd” in any way, so the translated title comes out as weird 😂.
