“I spent my life folded between the pages of books.
In the absence of human relationships I formed bonds with paper characters. I lived love and loss through stories threaded in history; I experienced adolescence by association. My world is one interwoven web of words, stringing limb to limb, bone to sinew, thoughts and images all together. I am a being comprised of letters, a character created by sentences, a figment of imagination formed through fiction.”
― Tahereh Mafi, Shatter Me

Finally read it and liked this book.

Enjoying this more and more with every turn of the page.

Very clever book, speaking as a journo myself.

Book 4! Only 26 more to read till I get to buy another book!

Just getting started. Hoping I like it!

Hoping to finish today. Been slow, but fantastic read.

When am I going to finish this? So so close. Over the holidays for sure!

Dig it. Love the layered story lines, all anchored, in some way, to journalism.

I love every page of this book, it's simply phenomenal.

Picked up at the airport. Pretty cool.

This is a damn good book.

Last chapter. Sigh. I wanna go again.

Continuing on. Kinda don't want this book to end. :)

Continuing on with this great book.

Continuing on, taking my time with it because it's so good.

Sunday night ritual of a cup of tea and a really good book begins. :)

Gripping, entertaining read exposing the personalities and foibles of the newspaper biz. Can't put this one down. Highly recommend!

Imperfectionists lovin' it. Should be done tomorrow.

Just started but it's got my attention.

My first check in. It's a moment. And now it's gone.

This brings out the same emotions as "goon squad" does. The disjointed approach to the stories reflects the realities of life. 8/10

get book filled with humor and sadness... well done
