‘To reread the book was to revisit the thoughts I used to have. Rereading is a powerfully personal means of time travel, and reconnecting with a past self can provoke all sorts of feelings.’
@EmilyBooksBlog explores the pleasures of rereading and just what it is that compels us to return to favourite books again and again.

'It’s just… well, how can I explain that inside my head – and inside the head of so many other mothers and primary carers – is a terrible noise, made up of tiny things. When I’m fighting, this senseless, maddening noise turns into a single reverberating note.'

Really honoured to be invited to the bookbank at St Jude and St Paul’s church in Islington, and meet guests and volunteers. I’m looking forward to working with them to raise awareness (and money) to expand this excellent community service.
Anyone in the books field, please @ me
