December 2013


Born in the North of England at the tail end of the baby boom, Jeanette was brought up by her mum, stepdad, grandparents and the local library. She stayed in North West England for her degrees (in environment and pollution related subjects) before spending a brief stint in London. She came back to Lancashire as the Berlin Wall fell, bringing with her a Yorkshireman who she later married.
She's spent the last thirty years in a variety of jobs and volunteer roles, and is the author of the Ransomed Hearts series about a family of shapeshifters in Lancashire.

A re-read, and a very enjoyable one.

King takes a break from telling the ongoing tale of Roland's search for The Dark Tower, and goes back to the beginning. Roland himself tells the story to his Ka-tet ... Susannah, Jake and Eddie. It's a fascinating

Margaret Atwood
“We were revisionists; what we revised was ourselves.”
Margaret Atwood, The Handmaid’s Tale

Margaret Atwood
“I avoid looking down at my body, not so much because it’s shameful or immodest but because I don’t want to see it. I don’t want to look at something that determines me so completely.”
Margaret Atwood, The Handmaid’s Tale

Stephen  King
“When you're twenty-one, life is a roadmap. It's only when you get to be twenty-five or so that you begin to suspect that you've been looking at the map upside down, and not until you're forty are you entirely sure. By the time you're sixty, take it from me, you're fucking lost.”
Stephen King, Joyland

Ursula K. Le Guin
“The trouble is that we have a bad habit, encouraged by pedants and sophisticates, of considering happiness as something rather stupid. Only pain is intellectual, only evil interesting. This is the treason of the artist; a refusal to admit the banality of evil and the terrible boredom of pain.”
Ursula K. LeGuin, The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas

Andrew  Boyd
“We’re all seeking that special person who is right for us. But if you’ve been through enough relationships, you begin to suspect there’s no right person, just different flavors of wrong. Why is this? Because you yourself are wrong in some way, and you seek out partners who are wrong in some complementary way. But it takes a lot of living to grow fully into your own wrongness. And it isn’t until you finally run up against your deepest demons, your unsolvable problems—the ones that make you truly who you are—that we’re ready to find a lifelong mate. Only then do you finally know what you’re looking for. You’re looking for the wrong person. But not just any wrong person: it's got to be the right wrong person—someone you lovingly gaze upon and think, “This is the problem I want to have.”

I will find that special person who is wrong for me in just the right way.”
Andrew Boyd, Daily Afflictions: The Agony of Being Connected to Everything in the Universe
