Four Brave Books

6 Comments

Sometimes we wish we’d been the ones to write the magnificent books, as if there are somehow now less stories to tell, as if someone else’s talent subtracts from our own.

I cannot feel that way.
These four books could only have been crafted by the authors who wrote them, and their creation is a gift to us all. They have shown me what it means to write brave.

    I’ve read GRAVE MERCY and A MONSTER CALLS, and I absolutely LOVED the HECK out of them. I’ve been dying to read CHIME and WHERE THINGS COME BACK for a while now, so I better get on it!

    And yes, I agree with you–these authors are brave, and it paid off. Big time.

    Hi, Caroline! Nice to meet you!
    I haven’t heard of A Monster Calls, but I’m going to go look it up right now!
