I ended up changing the sticker a bit… but I don’t know, I don’t really like how it looks like… Maybe the version without text is better…

Oh well, good enough for now, I’ve already spent much too much time on this

Screenshot showing a grid of book covers written in different languages. There’s a menu at the top indicating that we’re on a personal blog. The grid shows 10 book covers and three of them have a small heart sticker on their bottom left corner.

Heart sticker filled with pink and the text “Favourite Book” handwritten in it. A salamander is holding the left side of the heart.

Same sticker of the pink heart with the salamander holding it on the left. There is no text on this one, the heart is filled with solid pink colour.

I’m drawing a sticker that I could add to covers of my favourite books on my reading tracker.

I wanted to make it unique so I used the black lizard of my blog logo. I don’t know if it’s going to look good, maybe I’ll change the colour of the heart later.

Screenshot of a drawing app with black background and drawing icons. The drawing is in the center: a green heart with “favourite book” written inside and a black lizard holding the heart on the bottom left. A reference picture of a the same lizard is displayed next to it.

I was constantly flipping back to this page to consult the floor plan of the house (it’s a very complex one!), so I made a bookmark with washi tape (hoping it will peal off nicely when I finish the book).

I think it looks cool, so now I’m tempted to mark other pages like the start of chapters. It wouldn’t be useful at all, but I just love playing around with stationery!

Top corner of a book opened on a page showing the plan of a mansion with several floors and rooms. At the top of the page, a piece of washi tape has been folded and cut to stick out of the page and serve as bookmark.

Same book as picture one, this time displaying its front page with the washi tape sticking out nicely on the side. The page displays a title in Japanese.

I finished 白鳥とコウモリ by Keigo Higashino (東野圭吾). I found the story and the plot truly excellent… but I also found this novel extremely repetitive, the same facts are repeated over and over again, and each chapter feels like a recap of the previous ones. Maybe it’s because the book was first serialised… but even then it does feel too repetitive imho.

There are two or three other things that bugged me, and overall I find that the characters are lacking personality, but I still enjoyed reading it as I’ve enjoyed all the Higashino books I’ve read so far!
