“I spent my life folded between the pages of books.In the absence of human relationships I formed bonds with paper characters. I lived love and loss through stories threaded in history; I experienced adolescence by association. My world is one interwoven web of words, stringing limb to limb, bone to sinew, thoughts and images all together. I am a being comprised of letters, a character created by sentences, a figment of imagination formed through fiction.”

― Tahereh Mafi, Shatter Me

Special 6 Start Shelf

I thought about making this a direct link to the Goodreads shelf...but I thought it wasn't self explanatory enough....so here we are, explaining it. Look I even made a cool button and everything!!

Basically the "Special 6 Star Shelf" is a shelf...of the books that have earned 6 stars. Simple.

Rewarded books are given this (in reviews):

Well, what makes 6 stars any different or "special" as we are calling it, from different books. Here is what the literal definition of 6 stars is:

6 Star *SPECIAL* - This is now one of my ALL TIME FAVORITE books, you MUST get this book SOMEHOW. This is the difference between life and death. **NOTICE** this book may cause EXTREME fangirling. READ AGAIN AND AGAIN!
 
To put it simply (in less crazy, I-can't-control-my-excitement terms) would be to say this:
 
This book is one of a kind and unique. It had something in it that just touched the soft part of your soul and made you melt with happiness (or any other emotion —enjoyable of course— that really meant something to you) Either it's the writing or the characters or even just the desire to be there every single second of the day, this book grabbed you and it's not letting go. Maybe there are flaws....every book has flaws but this one somehow balanced it out. That's, in meaningful words, what a 6 star book is.
 

Here is one that most describes this shelf.

“In the case of good books, the point is not to see how many of them you can get through, but rather how many can get through to you.”
― Mortimer Jerome Adler


So that is the point of this Shelf/Page and I have now given my long introduction. Would you like to see the shelf?
