London is such a show off 🌆 . . “It feels like spoken words, this bridge. I want it but fear it. God, I want so desperately to reach the other side -- just like I want the words. I want my words to build bridges strong enough to walk on. I want them to tower over the world so I can stand up on them and walk to the other side.” MARKUS ZUSAK, Getting the Girl . . Nothing much to say exactly - just London being beautiful at sunset. . . #londonlife #london #sunset #sunsetinthecity #citylife #cityscape #goodvibes #positivity #neverstopexploring #newsightsnewsounds #staypeculiar #myeverydaymagic #alittlebeautyeveryday #sheisnotlost #holdthemoments #bookquotes #igquotes #bookish #bibliophile #gettingthegirl #markuszusak #booknerdigan

Sometimes quiet is violent 🔥✨ . . “This wall-hung work comprises the words ‘VIOLINS’, ‘VIOLENCE’, and ‘SILENCE’ spelled out in coloured neon tubing. Each word appears twice; one of each pair is written left to right while the other is presented backwards from right to left. The six words are composed to form a loosely triangular shape, the horizontal bottom of which consists of two instances of the word ‘SILENCE’, one overlaid on top of the other so that the individual letters are barely distinguishable. The two angled sides of the triangle each consist of the words ‘VIOLINS’ and ‘VIOLENCE’: on the left-hand side ‘VIOLINS’ can be read from left to right and ‘VIOLENCE’ is presented backwards, while on the right ‘VIOLENCE’ can be read from left to right and ‘VIOLINS’ is presented backwards. Supporting each word is a clear glass tubing suspension frame. Each word is rendered in a single colour using various shades of pink, yellow, and red neon and argon gas, and there is an audible buzzing from the neon. The words illuminate on a cycle which begins with them all lit up, then each in turn starting with ‘SILENCE’, then the left ‘VIOLENCE’, then the left ‘VIOLINS’, again ‘SILENCE’, then the right ‘VIOLENCE’ and finally the right ‘VIOLINS’, before all lighting up together once more.“ . . I know there’s probably something deep and modern and insightful here but for me it just set off an earworm - Car Radio by @twentyonepilots.

Yo, Harry! You’re a wizard! . . When we were young, my cousin Katie and I were obsessed with the Harry Potter books (and still are to be fair). We grew up reading and rereading the series. The audiobooks lulled us to sleep. We used to make up our own stories in the Potterverse, pretending to rescue Sirius Black, befriending the Golden Trio, generally being the biggest pair of eleven year old nerds we could possibly be. Today we’re seeing Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets at the Royal Albert Hall and it’s freaking beautiful. . . “Of course it’s happening inside your head Harry. But why on earth should that mean it isn’t real?” . . #harrypotter #harrypotterinconcert #chamberofsecrets #bookish #potterhead #bookstagram #igbooks #igreads #bibliophile #booknerdigan #bookquotes #keepthesecrets #nerdlife #harrypotterforever #positivity #goodvibes #royalberthall #music

Beware of a Girl with a Book. She is dangerous. “There are those who say that life is like a book, with chapters for each event in your life and a limited number of pages on which you can spend your time. But I prefer to think that a book is like a life, particularly a good one, which is well to worth staying up all night to finish.” ― Lemony Snicket, Horseradish: Bitter Truths You Can't Avoid
