Why Has Nobody Told Me This Before? - Julie Smith.





I put it down on paper and then the ghost does not ache so much.

Don't try to calm the storm, calm yourself, the storm will pass.

You didn't come this far just to come this far.

I've really struggled with reading for a few years now but recently got back into it...been setting like, little goals for myself.

Last one I read was Loveless by Alice Oseman. I loved it so much.



If I only could

Do not be dismayed by the brokenness of the world. All things can be mended. Not with time, as they say, but with intention. So go. Love intentionally, extravagantly, unconditionally. The broken world awaits in darkness for the light that is you.

This is literally one of my favourite books by King, if not my actual favourite. Please let me know how you get on! It gives such an incredible insight into a lot of his other novels too.

I've got about 200 odd pages to go, can't wait to finish it! I'm not used to spending so much time on one book.

M. J Arlidge is one of my favourite authors but one thing that is really annoying is that in all his books he constantly refers to people 'drinking in' each other/scenes etc. He needs to find other phrases because it gets very annoying reading it over and over again!

Dropping in to update that I got a Good Reads account!

Currently reading "Unholy Trinity" by Denis Ryan and Peter Hoystead (TW for SA) but may have to put that on hold as I've a bunch of body image books to read as I'm running a workshop on queer body image in the new year!



No other sadness in the world would do
