There‘s always another day, there‘s always a way to make up for the shit you‘ve done and the people you‘ve hurt, and there is always someone who loves you, even when you feel like you‘re completely alone out there floating along. There is always something better to come.

Everything is happening all the time, but if you don‘t put yourself in the path, you miss it.

The grief by the mother seemed very real in this book. Her determination to find out the truth is heartening. #review. #bookworm. #tragedy.

Nice happy summer read. The bond between the lead characters is special and the way they support each other through times of difficulty and happiness was lovely to read. #review #romance #friendship

A great overview of British History. I liked how each page spoke about a different event in British history and these short snappy chapters made the book easy to read. #review #history #historical #factual

You can‘t protest what you can‘t see coming.

Evil triumphs when good men do nothing.

Amazing read! Such an interesting life and some great adventures told in this book

I was up until 4am reading this book as it was so captivating. It keeps you guessing right until the very end.

Sometimes all you can do when you‘re scared is hope.

Tears are just a warm-up for courage.

A voice is a mighty thing. When everything is taken from you, you still have a voice, however weak.

I love that Brown‘s books teach you so much about the history and culture of the settings as well as having enjoyable storylines. His books always leave me wanting to visit the cities and they guarantee to be difficult books to put down.

Tyranny and oppression are no match for compassion ... the fanatical shouts of the bullies ofthe world are invariably silenced by the unified voices of decency that rise up to meet them.

Loved it as much as the first 👍

You‘re shaped so much by the people who surround you.

There is a great consolation in simply doing something you love 💜

I felt so many emotions reading this story-the sign if a great book!

Hating on this Vivian character. I get angry every time she opens her mouth.

Loving having 2 weeks off for Christmas. It means I actually have time to sit and read.

One of the classics for a reason. I just love to delve into the lives of a different era.

I found this book a little uneventful. Not as relatable as the first one.

Struggling to get through ‘The Inferno‘ so decided to leave it and start a new book. I hope it‘ss more engaging. 6 books left for my yearly target.

Pay day = new books!

The decisions of our past are the architects of our present.

The mountain between us is the one mountsin i cannot climb.

Maybe each of us was once a complete whole. A clear picture. A single piece. Then something happened to crack and shatter us. Leaving us disconnected, torn and splintered. Some of us lie in a hundred pieces. Some ten thousand. Some are edged with sharp contrast. Some dim shades of gray. Some find they are missing pieces. Some find they have too many. Then someone comes along who mends a tattered edge or returns a lost piece.

You cannot simply exterminate love like you can an unwanted infestation.

No one ever says good-bye unless they want to see you again. 👍

It‘s a weird phrase in English, in love, like it‘s a sea you drown in or a town you live in. You don‘t get to be in anything else- in friendship or in anger or in hope. All you can be is in love.
