What I'm reading + NOTD pt. 62

Tsukuru Tazaki had four best friends at school. By chance all of their names contained a colour. The two boys were called Akamatsu, meaning 'red pine', and Oumi, 'blue sea', while the girls' names were Shirane, 'white root', and Kurono, 'black field'. Tazaki was the only last name with no colour in it. One day Tsukuru Tazaki's friends announced that they didn't want to see him, or talk to him, ever again. Since that day Tsukuru has been floating through life, unable to form intimate connections with anyone. But then he meets Sara, who tells him that the time has come to find out what happened all those years ago.

I read a lot of novels of Murakami, but Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki and His Years of Pilgrimage (original title Shikisai o motanai Tazaki Tsukuru to, kare no junrei no toshi) is a bit diferent than everything that I have read so far. There is no fantasy involved, it is a bit more pfilosofical, I would say. And at the end there are some answers that are not answered, the one that bothers me the most is, what Happened to Haita? I will never know.

The nail polish is really really old. Is from Essence and if I tell you that is old, you will also know that is discontinued. The name is fatal and it's a simple black crème, As much as it is old is still fine enough to have a decent application so I can still use it.

Have a great day!

Here it is another one from my sister's library. This was my present to her, for her birthday. Here it is I'll Give You the Sun by Jandy Nelson.

Jude and her twin Noah were incredibly close - until a tragedy drove them apart, and now they are barely speaking. Then Jude meets a cocky, broken, beautiful boy as well as a captivating new mentor, both of whom may just need her as much as she needs them. What the twins don't realize is that each of them has only half the story and if they can just find their way back to one another, they have a chance to remake their world.

“Quick, make a wish.Take a (second or third or fourth) chance.Remake the world.” 

“If bad luck knows who you are, become someone else.” 

“This is what I want: I want to grab my brother’s hand and run back through time, losing years like coats falling from our shoulders.” 

I really enjoy reading book that look like art, that have something extra on how they look (but still, the story must be good, of course). So When I held this book in my hands I knew it would be a great gift for my sister, I couldn't put it down, even if it was months before my sister’s birthday.

Nail polish is from Catrice, from a limited edition NEONaturals with the name On The Bright Side Of Life. It's a jelly formula, so from a close up doesn't look very neat on my nails, because you could see uneven surface from split nails, bit from a normal distance it looks fine. 

Have a great day!

A couple of months back I said that I read everything there is translated in Slovene of Agatha Christie, well I guess I was wrong, because here is another book of hers and maybe I will find some others that I haven't read yet.

Here it is, The Big Four. A ruthless international cartel seeks world domination...Framed in the doorway of Poirot's bedroom stood an uninvited guest, coated from head to foot in dust. The man's gaunt face stared for a moment, then he swayed and fell. Who was he? Was he suffering from shock or just exhaustion? Above all, what was the significance of the figure 4, scribbled over and over again on a sheet of paper? Poirot finds himself plunged into a world of international intrigue, risking his life to uncover the truth about 'Number Four'.

Meh, I didn’t like this case very much. One of the worst in Poirot series, in my opinion. But I guess one must be the worst :)

The manicure is an upgrade from last time. I have a Shaka nail polish with the name Burlesque over the Bourjois I had the last time. This time I used the Catrice base coat because of the removal process. Shaka nail polish is just shimmer so I thought it would be easier this way. Here you can see just golden shimmer, but the shimmer is in pink liquid, so if I just put Shaka Nail polish on my nails I would have a beautiful rose gold colour, but I guess I would have to put at least three coats, so I will try this next time. 

Have a great day!
