Noli's Book Journey

Image by Noluthando Hey Bibliophiles! Thought I would talk to you about something a little different today. . . so not to long ago I found my mother engrossed in an adult coloring book. I kept thinking what the obsession was about, then a couple of days later I found myself colouring in a page or two. . . I think I'm going on five pages. . . five whole pages in a couple of days.  In the featured picture I have a new book that I started reading a week ago.

Fear not I will complete The Start of Me and You ; just as soon as I finish reading Small Great Things by Jodi Picoult and maybe, one more page of colouring.

I would like to blame the music on my heightened emotions or instant connection to this book; however it is the author. Paul Kal

Image by Noluthando Nicola Yoon has done it again! She has stolen my heart a second time with this amazing book. Its not often that you find a fictional book that makes you take a second look, a real good look at reality. This is a book about the Universe and how it pulls things together so that Daniel, (a poet, favoured son, American by birth but Korean at heart) and Natasha (Jamaican by birth, American at heart, firm believer in science) together. Somehow these two characters make decisions that ultimately lead them to one another for 12 hours, I know only 12 .  What do we Love about this book   Tragedy, Tragedy, Tragedy! After some serious introspection I have noticed a pattern in my choice of books! I cant take the heartache but I also cannot live without it! my heart seems to yearn for it. The amazing thing about this book is it makes you aware of a butterfly effect not only with Daniel and Natasha but also with the people that they come into contact with throughout t
