Those people you wish you met, you can bring them to life on the page and explore them thoroughly and shamelessly. And all the places that shine and sparkle in your mind, they become three-dimensional; your very own playground where the chaos of life crystallises into pretty narratives that can make some sense of it all.

But also how we get to analyse and examine ourselves and our lives through our words - as Anaïs Nin stated, "We write to taste life twice, in the moment and in retrospect." (less)

I usually write down clever, funny or otherwise moving passages from every book I read - but with this one I didn't do that, because I would have had to copy-type half the book! I really enjoyed it from start to finish (and secretly wished I could wr ...more

Writers & Lovers by Lily King
"Truly stunned by the sea of 5-star reviews this book has collected. The main character, Casey, is a melodramatic tragedy who can't get out of her own way, but also is asked out by every man she meets. Same I guess. There are some engaging parts, wher" Read more of this review »

The Lost Bookshop by Evie  Woods
"It pains me to write this review. When a book features a bookshop, I'm skipping in expecting to love it.

Over 90,000 people have rated this book on Goodreads, and it has an average rating of 4.11, and I just don't get it. Clearly, I'm missing somethi" Read more of this review »

The Lost Bookshop by Evie  Woods
"2.5 stars.

I am so disappointed. The premise is fantastic - magical realism, a lost bookshop in Ireland, a lost work from a Brontë sister. The plot, if done correctly, could have been great. Instead I kept waiting for the writing to improve or the pl" Read more of this review »

“We can give and give to someone, give everything we have and more, until there is nothing left of us. And then what good are we? To anyone?”
Kaisa Winter, The Colours We See

“It was just too easy. And why have it hard when you can have it easy? But easy doesn't always come cheap.”
Kaisa Winter, The Colours We See

“If heaven and hell exist, I think they're on Earth. Death probably looks very different.”
Kaisa Winter, The Colours We See

“To live is so startling it leaves little time for anything else.”
Emily Dickinson

“It was our show. The neighbours could watch if they wanted but it was ours. We were the actors, the directors and the audience. Part of our script came from films we’d seen, parties we’d been to before. The rest we made up as we went along and it was perfect.
Whistles and crackles sounded above us, shooting out swarms of fireflies that faded before they reached us.
We were magic and fearless.”
Lydia Ruffles, The Taste of Blue Light

“It’s optional but only in the way that having another tequila is optional.”
Lydia Ruffles, The Taste of Blue Light

“We talk and talk about things that only matter when you’re six beers deep and ready for a whisky.”
Lydia Ruffles, The Taste of Blue Light

“Everything is perfect on the street again, the world is permeated with roses of happiness all the time, but none of us know it. The happiness consists in realizing that it is all a great strange dream.”
Jack Kerouac, Lonesome Traveler
