“I have always been a reader; I have read at every stage of my life, and there has never been a time when reading was not my greatest joy. And yet I cannot pretend that the reading I have done in my adult years matches in its impact on my soul the reading I did as a child. I still believe in stories. I still forget myself when I am in the middle of a good book. Yet it is not the same. Books are, for me, it must be said, the most important thing; what I cannot forget is that there was a time when they were at once more banal and more essential than that. When I was a child, books were everything. And so there is in me, always, a nostalgic yearning for the lost pleasure of books. It is not a yearning that one ever expects to be fulfilled.”― Diane Setterfield, The Thirteenth Tale

A book that was long favored by many of my friends. I noticed that I often have a habit of staying away from books when they first come hot on the trend list. I am not sure why that is…this one was even given to me as a gift by a friend to encourage me to read it. I set it aside…over and over. No particular reason why, lol. This last week was a busy so I did not read as much as I had hoped so you get another quote from this one. All that being said I can say that I am kicking myself for taking so long to get around to this book and enduring many I told you so’s.


“All morning I struggled with the sensation of stray wisps of one world seeping through the cracks of another. Do you know the feeling when you start reading a new book before the membrane of the last one has had time to close behind you? You leave the previous book with ideas and themes — characters even — caught in the fibers of your clothes, and when you open the new book, they are still with you.”
― Diane Setterfield, The Thirteenth Tale

Happy Halloween and Happy Samhain to those who celebrate that way! One of my favorite days of the year indeed. I hope everyone has a great one.


“There is something about words. In expert hands, manipulated deftly, they take you prisoner. Wind themselves around your limbs like spider silk, and when you are so enthralled you cannot move, they pierce your skin, enter your blood, numb your thoughts. Inside you they work their magic.”

I confess I finished this one but I really wanted to use a teaser from it this week and since I haven’t read anythig else just yet I figured it counted. Right? This book is funny and intense and the mini series was too. One of those times I think the book and the TV version were both really good.

I couldn’t settle one just one teaser this week. I have a lot going on in my mind lately and these seemed to really resound as I settled in to try and pick a teaser. So I have decided to share both of them this week.

I should be finishing this one up today and it has been interesting to re-read this one. It’s a different book then others I have been reading as of late.
