2019 – A New Year of Reading and a Little Catch Up!

And I'm back...! Regrettably its been a little while since I last made a blog post, but I'm back again, for now.

The Tattooist of Auschwitz – Heather Morris

“If you wake up in the morning, it is a good day.”

The Final Empire – Brandon Sanderson

"The trick is to never stop looking. There's always another secret."

Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions – Edwin A. Abbott

"...learn this lesson, that to be self-contented is to be vile and ignorant, and that to aspire is better than to be blindly and impotently happy."

My Favourites <2018

Having published all my previous reviews to date I thought I'd give you a quick overview of my favourite books I have discovered on my journey so far. 

The Trees – Ali Shaw

"...it's survival of the fittest, not the strongest or the biggest."

Sleeping Giants – Sylvain Neuvel

“Family has a way of bringing out the worst in people. Every people.”

The Wolf in the Attic – Paul Kearney

“It must be terrible to be old, when you love someone who died young. They never change in your mind, and every day you see yourself grow away from that person you were when you loved and knew them."

Badge, Book and Candle – Max Gladstone

"Sal Brooks would have described herself in a police report as early thirties, female, brown hair, five nine, exhausted, borderline breakdown case, shaking hands, haunted eyes. Then she’d have deleted everything after “nine” and continued with the details of the incident."

See How They Run – Tom Bale

“In the end, we choose what we want to believe. We shape the truth to fit our requirements, because otherwise life would be just too hard to bear.”
