Seen in a shop in #Norway although #kindness isn‘t in the quote, it just seemed perfect anyway. #thinkpositivebepositive @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @Eggs

"The books transported her into new worlds and introduced her to amazing people who lived exciting lives. She went on olden-day sailing ships with Joseph Conrad. She went to Africa with Ernest Hemingway and to India with Rudyard Kipling. She travelled all over the world while sitting in her little room in an English village."
— Roald Dahl (Matilda)

So hard to pick my #FavAuthor, but if I have to, I'd go with Roald Dahl because I find him most creative and I like his style of writing for both children's books and short stories!

Happy Roald Dahl Day, y‘all!
I was going just going through some blog posts from 2010 and found a reference to this celebration, checked the calendar, and realized it is September 13!
I love his short stories in particular and of course his middle grade novels. If forced to choose, The BFG is probably my favorite.
What is your favorite Roald Dahl work?
I love his writing style, just not what he wrote in these stories. The way he writes about women got me annoyed, frustrated, even angry. I realise these stories were written in another time, but it‘s still just too much for me. Had to really push myself to finish it. Guess it‘s back to Matilda and The BFG...
Almost done!! Short trip by train is all I need to finish it.
Started it a little while ago...will give it another try🤞🏼
I can‘t choose! These answers are based on my current mood and are subject to change and addition at any time.
1. Karl Ove Knausgaard
2. Roald Dahl
3. Gretchen Rubin
4. John Steinbeck (Nobel & Pulitzer & National Book Award)

Taking a cue from @Purrsistently, I decided to go with a handwritten #favouritequote post. This is one of my favourite quotes.💜

Love his adult writing. This was in the free box so I grabbed it. Enjoying reading in between my other reading. @MrsMalaprop
Love this. I do watch T.V as sometimes I just want to do something that dosen't require concentration especially after a 10 hour shift but I do watch less T.V than I used to and I haven't had a one in my bedroom for 9 years and it does make all the difference. I think if T.V was no more it wouldn't matter to me as long as I had my books. 📖📚
Happy Birthday, Roald Dahl!

@MrBook If you love Roald Dahl, you should definitely pick this up for your collection! It has a lot of his great short stories!
I just picked this one up for a dollar a couple weeks ago. I've never read anything by him except for Charlie and Matilda. Going to try a few tonight. At least the three suggested by gibblr . #roalddahlday #roalddahl100
#RoaldDahl100 #RoaldDahlDay (If you haven't tried his weird little short stories, do check them out).
I am addicted to stationery so here's a few of my book related purchases #booksandstationery #augustofpages #bookphotochallenge
As someone who only knows Dahl's children's stories, I didn't know what to expect. I very much enjoyed the dark humour coming through many of the stories. Human's sinister side portrayed in tales about everyday stuff.
This is a bit different to how I remember Roald Dahl stories from when I was little. If you want to experience another side of his writing, pick up this collection of short stories. I'm half way through and very much enjoying it.
