It‘s a slow burn .. perfect for a curl in bed read though .

Books are the mile markers of my life .. she wrote .. and I felt the same .. Hiding into books when life seems too much to handle .. and searching books for advice given without judging .. my sanity amongst my chaos .. my companion in solitude .. my guide when I am lost .. I wander so much through books but I am never lost !

Luck is the spin that assholes put on probability !

There is something sacred and pure about crying in a church .. and I like it that she writes beautifully about it . Glad to have found Shauna through Litsy .

Enjoyed a summer read .. husband‘s random pic as a birthday gift .. thanks to him for introducing Nicky Pellegrino ..quick read .. loved trip to Italy

Enjoyed the read the same way I have enjoyed his first book .. I wonder how Nicholas finds love in different wavelengths in such beautiful manner .. and for a Xmas read it did make a beautiful read ! Loved Aunt Linda and Bryce !

I like it how Nicholas Sparks stories have a boat in most of them ! He definitely likes beaches and boats !

The lies we want to believe tell us something about ourselves . ! How true !

Vesper flights - a book that changed the way I look at nature , birds and animals ! A book that made me think and feel differently ! And of course lot of new words for me ! Loved it !

I sometimes wonder when I pick a read like this - why do I engage in such vanity - however I should say the language , the phrases , the etiquettes, the lady like behaviours which are so uncommon these days - they indulge me .. and may I admit I am enjoying the quick read !

“A man sees something that ought to be done , no one that will do it but himself and so is driven to the enterprise... “

“A mother is only as happy as her most unhappy child “. Very interesting thought for a parent ..

Have abandoned this in midst a number of times now - the length of the book definitely a barrier - but the reviews keep bringing me back to finish reading this . I hope my time isn‘t wasted !

If you are not regretting you are not living . - Nicola Yoon . Enjoyed the quick read!

Commencing this borrowed from a friend tonight ! Let‘s see how this goes !

Anne‘s cup of happiness was full .. cup of happiness , I liked that !!!

May be Anne can lift my spirits up !!

Well let‘s see where this will take us !!

His dad had told him many times that the definition of a real man is who cries without shame , reads poetry with his heart , feels opera in his soul and does what‘s necessary to defend a woman “ - never seen a better definition for a man !! Loving this book so far ..

For a forensic psychiatric nurse , the closest book to work .. professional boundaries raised some questions though .. the book I have read the quickest ever !! Liked it

First find out what you are capable of , then decide who you are ..

Hi lovely people out there , i have pushed myself to read 55% of this book ..the book has very good reviews .. still struggling to get the motivation to keep going .. what do you guys suggest ? Should I carry on or not ..

Read

Their faith in what good education could do for a son who was neither rich nor well connected .. ( Barack Obama about his parents )

With the sound of a mild drizzle outside ,it‘s perfect ambience for a Sunday morning read ! Love Sunday mornings!!

There are truths we face and truths we ignore ..

Litsy is my new Facebook .. I deactivated my fb account as a digital detox for new year ., but Litsy is what‘s my new inspiration to read at the same time giving me that social media kick !! Love Litsy !!

“His money went mostly to books ; books were like sacred objects to him, providing ballast for his mind ..” It is relieving to hear that and now I don‘t feel guilty at all spending my money on books ..

You don‘t really know how attached you are until you move away !! # - This book is getting better page by page .. (Thanks to my little boy who have been sleeping for a straight 4 hours on a New Year‘s Day.. !!

My first book reading on my phone .. turns out with my 8 month old sleeping with me ., that‘s how I m going to get my most reading !! Love the first few chapters !

Picked this one for a December read .. got to wait and see !!

L5:: I HAVE SO MUCH MORE THAN I THOUGHT I HAD.. Moving to New Zealand after being brought up in India, I always thought my life lacked many things .. But Khaled‘s portrait of Afghanistan especially women like Laila and Mariam have taught me how blessed am I .. I have so much more than I ever thought I had..

L4: I think like Laila,all kids like to hear their parents speak good of each other .. Just like Laila enjoyed hearing Mammy speak affectionately of Babi on her good days ... Kids like hearing their parents praised just like they like themselves praised ..

Because a society have no chance of success if it‘s women are uneducated , Laila., no chance ..

I wonder how can a male author depict female emotions so beautifully ! Hosseini surprises me in his emotional journey with Mariam ..

A book I wish my son would read when he is in his teens.. would be a different perspective for him growing up in New Zealand .. life seems so sheltered living in this corner of the world .. wouldn‘t want him take that for granted ..Reading about lives in Afghanistan have made me reflect how lucky am I ? A real eye opener

Only been through first 50 pages .. so far good 😀
