I completely crashed last night. I've been so overwhelmed with everything, so last night when it was 8pm, I thought I'll just lie down for half an hour. I turned on my music low and closed my eyes. Next thing I know, it's 10am the next morning. And I have absolutely no energy and everything seems too loud and too bright. This is what I imagine a hangover must feel like. With a dull headache and feeling completely groggy, I was in bed for most of the day. I stopped reading the book I started yesterday because the character is too loud... yep, that doesn't make sense at all. What I mean is, I have a very vivid imagination which makes me an active and immersive reader, so I can visualise the entire world of the novel I'm reading, including the emotions and sounds. And the protagonist was just too much to handle for the weird state I'm currently in.
However, the day before, I finished reading the third book in 'The Rephaim' series by Paula Weston, which is a fantastic series. The first book is called 'Shadows' which is about a girl, Gaby, who is grieving the death of her brother, who she believes died in a car crash. She is now living in a small beach town and living a seemingly ordinary life until this guy, Rafa comes. He claims to know her and her brother, but she has no memory of this or of him. It turns out that she has been given false memories, and that she is actually a rephaim, like Rafa, which means that she is the offspring of a fallen angel and a human. And the story goes from there with her re-emersing into her past life, as well as trying to uncover the mystery of what really happened to her and what it has to do with the rephaims mission... it is incredible and the third book finishes on a really big cliff hanger and I really can't wait to find out what happens. But unfortunately, the fourth book hasn't been released yet. 'Burn,' which is also the final book in the series, is due to be coming out in June this year. But I definitely recommend reading this series if you are a fan of urban fantasy.
Rating: 9/10
What has this got to do with my exhaustion-induced crash? Last night, I dreamt that I was Gaby and in my dream, it turns out that she is actually not a rephaim, but a fallen angel. But then it turns out that all of the fellow rephaim friends are fallen angels too and this means that we discover that we have these awesome golden wings that shimmer (which coincidentally is the name of the third book) and can fly! It was a pretty amazing dream to be honest. Who doesn't love dreams that involve flying? Plus, the Rafa I dreamt up was really good looking. But moving on...
So today, I have decided to reread one of my favourite series, 'The Mortal Instruments' which I have written about before, because I absolutely love it. This features shadowhunters, which are also descended from angels. I'm really in a fallen angel, hungover mood, so it just makes sense to turn towards my comfort-reading series. I love immersing myself into that world which Cassandra Clare has created, and I really need a break from the homework and paperwork stuff that is currently in mine. Also today is the perfect day for lying in bed, reading and drinking tea, as it is pouring with rain and freezing. Plus it's a long weekend, so at least I know I can make up my lack of homework-doing on Monday. And the other positive, that despite my groggy state, my hair looks epic today for some reason. It looks as if a stylist has worked magic on it, when in reality it's my bed hair. I don't take selfies, but this is what my hair looks like (but brown/black). I'm not even exaggerating, this miracle has actually happened:
