Book Favorite

"One novel that I think will always be a personal favorite of mine is Room. The book is a force of nature: harrowing one moment, poignant the next. I can think of few books that so powerfully convey the lengths we will go to as parents to keep our children safe. And that voice? Brilliant. This is a book that gave me one whopper of an inferiority complex as a writer."

"No bullshit sentimentality here. One of the most courageous films ever made. Mr John: We should celebrate that a child died a child. That one escaped. We lock them in our schools, we teach them our stupid taboos, we catch them in our wars, we massacre the innocents. The world is for children. The real world. They climb trees and roll on the grass, close to the ants . . ."

"One of the books I found in the bookshelves flanking the fireplace in our living room. I was 12 and interested in the world of adults and the secrets they kept from children. I still remember a steamy scene involving an eagle, one I must have read hundreds of times. Fortunately, my parents placed no restrictions on what books I could read. In our house reading was a good thing."

4.5 stars.

This is not my usual read at all. I tend to like nice, gentle love stories and this is rather dark, but I was captivated and intrigued beyond belief by Richard.

It kept me guessing where it was going: Why did he want Cassidy? Did he kill his wife? Where were his children?

I certainly wasn't disappointed when I found out the answers. A brilliant story.

Hmm

I loved most of the romance between these two but the side story of the investigative journalism didn't go over so well with me.

I did like reading about Hunter and Em but they didn't grab me like some kids do in M/M romances. I've read some very cute babies/children that have managed to keep a piece of my heart but these two didn't quite hot the mark.

"Oh I just love Fantasia. I played that for my nephew when he was two, and I don’t believe in popping children in front of the television as a babysitter, but I feel like, you know what? “I’m introducing you to classical music; I’m introducing you to classic cartoons, so watch it!” It’s a beautiful way to take music and to take your mind to a place of no words."
