Things that make me happy

A vase full of custard yellow roses from the garden.

Reading The Bog Baby to Spike.  A wonderful introduction to the nature of wild things.

Finishing my first (full-length) book since Spike arrived.

The Ask and the Answer is a sequel to The Knife of Never Letting Go which I thought I had blogged about before, but I cannot find a reference to it (must have been dream blogging).  The Knife of Never Letting Go is possibly my favourite book title of all time.  I don’t know why I like it so much, but it compelled me to read the book, which was excellent (the winner of two children’s book prizes).  I find the title of the sequel just as intriguing and the book turned out to be even better than its forerunner.  I heartedly recommend them both and will await, with shredded fingernails, the third in the series.

Do you have a favourite book title?  Did the book live up to its title?
