of
The Wine-Dark Sea (Aubrey & Maturin, #16):
"
Stephen had often heard Jack say, when life at sea grew more trying than the human frame could bear, ‘that it was no use whining’ and again, ‘ Have I been plying the ocean with a parcel of Stoics all this time?’ he wondered. ‘Or in my ignorance am I" Read more of this review » |

"Sir Waldo Hawkridge and Miss Trent are the main characters in this romantic comedy. The completely spoilt Tiffany Wield is well written. She is indeed a buffleheaded clunch.
There is nothing like a GH to bring a smile to ones face and several chuckle" Read more of this review » |

Dilushani Jayalath's status update
Dilushani Jayalath
is on page 158 of 351 of The Garden of Evening Mists: The book is soothing to the soul and at the same time I can feel it reaching a point that would break the soothed heart.

"Graham Greene's Brighton Rock is a typically dark, reflective tale of small-time gangsters in 1930s England. Teenaged hoodlum Pinkie Brown rules over a small-time outfit with a straight razor and a smirk, orchestrating the murder of a journalist whos"

“Why do cats sleep so much? Perhaps they've been trusted with some major cosmic task, an essential law of physics - such as: if there are less than 5 million cats sleeping at any one time the world will stop spinning. So that when you look at them and think, "what a lazy, good-for-nothing animal," they are, in fact, working very, very hard.”

“They're just weeds, love, they don't belong anywhere.' Her granddaughter stuck out her bottom lip and furrowed her brow.
'That doesn't seem very nice. Everything belongs somewhere.”

“But what attracted me to weeds was not their beauty, but their resilience. I mean, despite being so widely despised, so unloved, killed with every chance we get, they are so pervasive, so seemingly invincible.”

“It developed gradually. Quietly. But I remember the moment I thought to myself, ‘Something is not right with my mind. Something is not right here.’ Admitting this was the first step in my recovery. I didn't need anyone to diagnose me with anxiety or depression to know that this was my struggle. I felt so attached to the feelings, the uncontrollable thoughts, the incessant fear, all of which dictated my everyday experience. I allowed my struggle to become my identity. I didn't know I had any other option.
On good days, I feel hopeful. About life. About my recovery. On bad days, I spend my time thinking that life is no better than death. Despite the mental battles I face each day, I remain resilient. Not just for my loved ones, but for myself. Because deep down, I know I deserve it. The relationship I have with myself is one I refuse to give up so easily.”
