Thank you, my blog friends, for all your good wishes while I've been cocooning. I have been reading your blogs on and off. Nandini said she would check in on Mondays, so I wanted to peek out once a week, in case any of you have lines and passages you want to share.
From Garbiel's Gift by Hanif Kureishi, I wanted to share this line:
Now Dad had gone and was living somewhere else. If the world hadn't quite been turned upside down, it was at an unusual and perilous angle, and certainly not still.Drop a line.

Hi Yat-Yee. Good to see you!
I love this opening line from Pearl North's Libyrinth:
The wind howled and the flames roared, but the books, as they died, merely fell silent.
Good to see you! Hope all is going well.
OMG You're back!!!! I haven't even been on MY blog lately. Mainly due to the fact that my daughter’s birthday was yesterday and I've been in major party mom mode. But I do have lines that I have been bookmarking (as promised).
Here's one from Little Women that I never get tired of ... Six weeks is a long time to wait, and a still longer time for a girl to keep a secret, but Jo did both, and was just beginning to give up all hope of ever seeing her manuscript again, when a letter arrived which almost took her breath away, for on opening it, a check for a hundred dollars fell into her lap.
One day that’ll happen to us, Yat-Yee, one day.
I will check in regularly on Mondays from now on. Great to see you back!!!
