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?
