I don’t really understand how Anne Tyler does it I don’t really understand how Anne Tyler does it. Her family dynamics, the way she captures the nuances of ordinary life, which somehow in her hands become extraordinary.

My ‘barista’ delivered me this to celebrate ou My ‘barista’ delivered me this to celebrate our 12 year wedding anniversary today. He can’t do coffee art so it’s a miracle. A bit like more than a decade of love and marriage really. A little wobbly around the edges sometimes but the centre always holds ❤️

Posted @withregram • @bibliobliss.au 📚Favourite books Jan - June ‘22📚

These books captured my heart & mind during the first half of the year! Whether it was the brilliant storytelling or the superb writing, these are the books that stayed with me long after I finished them.

They all have something in common: they moved me. They gripped my heart & made me feel joy, wonder, pain and love. 

That feeling you get when you find a book that speaks to you, a book that hits you hard & makes you want to hang onto its pages for as long as you can (while fighting the urge to devour it whole) is something really special. It makes me want to hug books & it inspires me to want to churn out words and create something a little magical too. I adore that feeling & I thank the authors of these books for gifting that to me.
