What I'm Reading Now



If you are looking for a new book, and you don't mind a "weeper" (I spent the last 2 nights reading with a box of tissues beside the couch) this book is brilliant.  Brilliant.  After finishing this story, I feel a burning energy to get out there in the world and really live, and to not take a single day for granted.  

Summary from goodreads - 

Lou Clark knows lots of things. She knows how many footsteps there are between the bus stop and home. She knows she likes working in The Buttered Bun tea shop and she knows she might not love her boyfriend Patrick.

What Lou doesn't know is she's about to lose her job or that knowing what's coming is what keeps her sane.

Will Traynor knows his motorcycle accident took away his desire to live. He knows everything feels very small and rather joyless now and he knows exactly how he's going to put a stop to that.

What Will doesn't know is that Lou is about to burst into his world in a riot of colour. And neither of them knows they're going to change the other for all time.


Any good book recommendations for me?

what a book!


I loved this novel so much I can barely even put my emotions in writing. Imagine the most beautiful story, about the power of love, and right and wrong, and the bonds that hold people together, and how life can be unfair and imperfect and yet perfect at the same time. Thank you, M.L. Stedman, for this beautiful tale of the human spirit.
