When you love a book, try to work out what's great about it and how the author uses language to good effect. And never, NEVER give up!

It’s been a while since I last wrote. I blame lockdown, personally. Is it just me, or did the first months of 2021 feel like wading through treacle in ill-fitting, uncomfortable welly-boots?

“We all fight our own private wars.”
Benjamin Alire Sáenz, Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe

“There are so many worse things than death. Not to be loved or not to be able to love: that is worse.”
Cassandra Clare, Clockwork Princess

“Age is foolish and forgetful when it underestimates youth.”
J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

“I am real. This”–he put his other hand over the first-“is real. You see me interacting with other people all day long, don’t you? I talk to people; I affect things in the world. I cause things to happen. I am real.”

“But-but what if this whole place”-I had to suck in air again-“what if everything is inside my head? East Shoal and Scarlet and this bridge and you-what if you’re not real because nothing is real?”

“If nothing’s real, then what does it matter?” he said. “You live here. Doesn’t that make it real enough?”
Francesca Zappia, Made You Up

“Books are the perfect entertainment: no commercials, no batteries, hours of enjoyment for each dollar spent. What I wonder is why everybody doesn't carry a book around for those inevitable dead spots in life.”
Stephen King
