Book cover for The Viscount Who Loved Me (Bridgertons, #2)
He knew well the singularly strange sensation of loving one’s family to distraction, and yet not feeling quite able to share one’s deepest and most intractable fears. It brought on an uncanny sense of isolation, of being remarkably alone in ...more

Caroline Peckham
“And that I fantasised about him more than I had about any man in all my life. Even Tom Hardy. Even. Tom. Hardy.”
Caroline Peckham, Cursed Fates

“The bad are the few, but often they shout louder than the many. Don’t mistake silence for weakness.”
Chris Whitaker, All the Colors of the Dark

Margaret Atwood
“That was when they suspended the Constitution. They said it would be temporary. There wasn't even any rioting in the streets. People stayed home at night, watching television, looking for some direction. There wasn't even an enemy you could put your finger on.”
Margaret Atwood, The Handmaid’s Tale

“And if I had to give up this work or if my career never really panned out, it would still have been worth every second of it. What a privilege all this has been, I thought as we bounced along. How trivial and petty many of my concerns around my job were. This moment and the thousands of others on the road over the last ten years were the reward. I was filled by a sense of clarity that comes with knowing beyond any doubt that you are exactly where you are meant to be. I felt infused by purpose, that great elusive source of a good life.”
Jane Ferguson, No Ordinary Assignment: A Memoir

“Sitting on my balcony one night, sipping a cold beer and watching the bats circling over the rhododendrons, I let myself feel the weight I had carried with me all my life, that I had run from, humming under the surface. It was a feeling of worthlessness, a deep-seated shame. In that moment I was at the same time a recognized, celebrated thirty-year-old international TV correspondent and a little girl hiding under the stairs from her parents and incapable of loving herself. I knew well how to escape this feeling—head out on a plane, to a place with no cell service, a place where I didn’t really belong—but this time I would not. I would sit there and feel it. And it didn’t kill me. Those months felt like a cease-fire. A fragile peace emerged. Even my plants began to survive.”
Jane Ferguson, No Ordinary Assignment: A Memoir
