A story is a wedding in which we listeners are the groom watching the bride coming up the aisle. It is together, in an act of imaginary consummation, that the story is born. This act wholly involves us, as any marriage would, and just as no marriage is exactly the same as another, so each of us interprets a story differently, feels for it differently. A story calls upon us...as individuals-and we like that. Stories benefit the human mind.
Reading this again ❤️ I think this my 5th time. It‘s the only book I ever come back to again and again, and it‘s like visiting old friends each time. #friedgreentomatoes #favouritebook #bookstagram #booksandcats
Having a break from obligations today and just relaxing and trying to finish this.
pickWhere to even begin? I finished the trilogy yesterday and I‘m having a deep #bookhangover! I listened to the Audible version narrated by Pullman himself and a full cast.
These books are fantastic! I think the third was my favourite because by then I was so deeply invested in the characters (Lyra! ❤️) that I‘d reached the point where I felt as them as people I actually _knew_. That doesn‘t happen often. These books are BRILLIANT and a must-read.
3/3 - Last of the 3 books I‘m sharing that are books to own in print. House of Leaves. I think the photos of this intriguing book speak for themselves. I mean, look at the pages. Just look at them! ❤️ #bookstoowninprint
2/3 - The New Annotates H.P. lovecraft is another book to own in print. This book is CHUNKY! Full of history and background to go along side the stories that have helped define American horror and influence countless other writers. #bookstoowninprint #hplovecraft
1/3 - I love books in any format. Print, audio, or ebook. I generally am not bias. However some books are best in print and this is one of them. It‘s fantasy, mythology and fictional biography all in one. Very intriguing! #bookstoowninprint

Very interesting read. Maybe a bit morbid, but definitely interesting.
So enjoying this book. I adore Cecelia Ahern's writing ❤️
