Reading Reflection

I've just re-read after eight years, Nora Roberts "Whiskey Beach". It was long enough ago that although it felt familiar I couldn't predict how it progressed. It was interesting to see my focus had changed and seemed more interested in how both Eli and Abra delt with their past relationship breakdowns that involved extreme violence and murder. How they, in very different ways, struggled to build a new relationship and learn to trust. I still loved Bluff House, it's history, myth and the reality of wealth power and family connections.

Written with great generosity.

I really enjoyed Julie Goodwin's book- "Your Time starts Now- food and fame, failure and freedom." She is Australia's first MasterChef, and has a loving supportive family and yet she experienced extreme anxiety and depression - it made me realise that even people who appear to be doing great in life can suffer silently. I also enjoyed her humour and recipes - I do love a good Cookbook!
