“Reading fiction not only develops our imagination and creativity, it gives us the skills to be alone. It gives us the ability to feel empathy for people we've never met, living lives we couldn't possibly experience for ourselves, because the book puts us inside the character's skin.” ~Ann Patchett * * Which book is developing your imagination today? Mine is Virginia Woolf’s Writer’s Diary. * * * * * * #SaturdayShelfie #thehauntedbookshop #bookstore #bookshop #booknerdigan #annpatchett #bookshopsoftheworld #bookstorevibes #bøger #shelfjoy #bookpassion #thisismybookstore #shelfie #fiction #literarture #bookstagramlife #bibliomania #bookshelfie #shelfiesaturday #bookstagramlife #booksoftheday #belletriststacked (at Haunted Bookshop The)

I really enjoy @herpickings Instagram feed and decided to pick up Patchett's anthology because of her review. . And so far it has been a great read. Patchett is sharp and effective in telling her story. The Gateway Car, her chapter on her life as a writer, starts with a confident and truthful statement: "I was always going to be a writer. I've known this for as long as I've known anything. It was an accepted fact in my family by the time I entered the first grade, which makes no sense, since I was late to both read and write." . Being openly passionate and determined about her work without boasting seems to be Patchett's best feature. . An enjoyable book. Will continue my journey. . #bookblr #bookworm #booklover #bookshelf #bookstagram #annpatchett #whatiread #currentlyreading #bookreview #bookrecommendation

Stopped by my favorite local independent bookstore, One More Page Books, & couldn't resist picking up these 2 that I've seen a lot of Booktubers rave about. Adding them to my crazy long tbr list, but closer to the top. Have you read either of these? * #funaekbooks #funaekreads #bookstagram #instabooks #instaread #tbr #commonwealth #annpatchett #theclaygirl #heathertucker #onemorepagebooks #independentbookstore #pugsandbooks

There is no explaining this simple truth about life: you will forget much of it. The painful things you were certain you'd never be able to let go? Now you're not entirely sure when they happened, while the thrilling parts, the heart-stopping joys, splintered and scattered and became something else. Memories are then replaced by different joys and larger sorrows, and unbelievably, those things get knocked aside as well, until one morning you're picking cherries with your three grown daughters and your husband goes by on the Gator and you are positive that this is all you've ever wanted in the world.

But we overlay the present onto the past. We look back through the lens of what we know now, so we’re not seeing it as the people we were, we’re seeing it as the people we are, and that means the past has been radically altered.

Ann Patchett, The Dutch House
