"I'm listening to the audio book to decide whether it will be our class novel for the end of year. I think it will work for our students though I think the villain is a little two dimensional for middle grade." Apr 20, 2026 04:03AM

 
Book cover for Network Effect (The Murderbot Diaries, #5)

“In his opinion, faith was generally for people who were bad at math.”

Erik Larson, Dead Wake: The Last Crossing of the Lusitania

Harvey Karp
“Some critics disapprove of giving kids “rewards.” They say, “Children should obey simply out of respect.” Nice idea, but expecting toddlers to cooperate purely out of respect is like expecting patience from a baby. It’s not going to happen.”
Harvey Karp, The Happiest Toddler on the Block: How to Eliminate Tantrums and Raise a Patient, Respectful and Cooperative One- to Four-Year-Old

Holly Bourne
“It was all very well being a strong independent woman, but it was hard when boys’ confusing behaviour kept making you lose your focus.”
Holly Bourne, Am I Normal Yet?

Sophie Kinsella
“[...] Depressive Episodes.

[I]Episodes.[/i] Like depression is a sitcom with a fun punch line each time. Or a TV box set loaded with cliffhangers. The only cliffhanger in my life is "Will I ever get rid of this s***?" And believe me, it gets pretty monotonous.”
Sophie Kinsella
