It’s been a while! And that means it’s been three days since I last posted here.
There is nothing much really except I got caught reading some books that I just could not put down. Would you believe, in all the years that I am into reading and discovering new authors, this is the first time I encountered a story like this. Tin Man by Sarah Winman is vastly different from the young adult books that I used to read before. It tells about alternative lives, two boys and a girl caught in a love triangle. The first part of the narrative tells the story of Ellis who wanted to be an artist but his father was opposed to it. It tells the story of two teenage boys who fell in love briefly then Ellis got married and Michael became the best friend of his wife Annie. The poignant remembrance, the memories kept in between the years. The second part tells the story of Michael and being caught by that dreaded disease. It tells how he treasured those early days of his friendship with his best friend Ellis, the impact of grief, love lost and loneliness. It is actually a short book but made an impact to a reader like me. I also read some excerpts on Timeless Moments by Michelle Kidd, another new author in my list. I started earlier with Stephen Orr’s Time’s Long Ruin but I got confused by the character so I switched to another book called Welcome to Harmony by Jodi Thomas. It is actually the first book in a series. I wish I could find the other books.
When books reign in your world for a while, you forget to update your blog….haha 🙂
