We all carry something inside us that can be rejected; that can look silver in the light. You can deny it, or try and throw it in the garbage, by all means. You can despise it so much you drink yourself halfway to death. At the end of the day, though, the only thing to do is to take hold of yourself, to gather up the broken parts.

The Course of Love: A Novel | Alain de Botton
post image

So I think I'm bailing on this month's book club pick, 'The Course of Love'. 90-odd pages in and it's fine enough (de Botton's writing is quite lovely at times), but I just don't care enough about what happens to these characters. #alaindebotton #thecourseoflove #bookclub #abandoned

State of Wonder | Ann Patchett
post image

I'd not read any Ann Patchett until 'Commonwealth' was released earlier this year - it was so wonderful that once I'd finished, Patchett's entire back catalogue made its way onto my Christmas list! So you can imagine I was thrilled to find this under the tree this year 😄 Can't wait to start! #annpatchett #stateofwonder #Christmas

Just finished this, and got through most of it just this afternoon - couldn't put it down! One of the best books I've read this year.

Getting started on November's #bookclub pick. I'm not overly thrilled with the choice, but it might surprise me. Only one way to find out...
