My grandmother sends her regards and apologizes book recommendation

-

 





I have been reading books since I could......well, read. So you can be assured that I have read quite a few books. And I have to say, this possibly the best book I have ever read.

Elsa a very clever almost-8-year-old, who is very particular about grammar and knows just about everything. After all, she is a great believer in Wikipedia. She has a very orderly mother, a very crazy grandmother, and a rather tentative father who cannot have too much fun without lying down for a bit.

Despite being through the eyes of a 7yr old, I actually found this book quite dark. I do not cry much or ever almost, but this book had me crying through quite a few chapters, not because it's sad but because it's so beautiful.

Now, as i am refusing to share even a bit of the book with you, as i feel reading this book should be a sacred experience, i will share what i have learnt (i have picked these lines directly out of the book to show how much i love this book)

1) "the knights did the only thing you can with fears: they laughed at them."

2) "every 7yr old deserves a superhero. Anyone who doesn't agree needs their head examined."

Writing

 I know that I should write more often....but I have nothing to write about. Everytime I sit down to write a blog I realize that I have absolutely nothing.  So today I decided to put a pen on paper and just let it flow (or however it is that words come on to the paper), not differently from when I need to write a 4 page essay but my research has concluded in 4 lines. But that's the thing isnt it, sometimes the things we usually love doing turn boring or tiring, especially when we have to do them. Some of you may relate to this on exercising everyday, playing a instrument, or maybe cooking. You love doing them but when you need to them everyday, you would rather not sometimes. After sharing this piece of information I shall now abruptly end this blog which I managed to write without increasing the font size or by leaving miles between each word.
