Stars


"Some war," he said dismissively. "What am I at war with? My cancer. And what is my cancer? My cancer is me. The tumors are made of me. They're made of me as surely as my brain and my heart are made of me. It is a civil war, Hazel Grace, with a predetermined winner."

- Augustus Waters

"Some tourists think Amsterdam is a city of sin, but in truth it is a city of freedom. And in freedom, most people find sin."
-Doughy, bald, Dutch cab driver.

JOHN GREEN, The Fault In Our Stars.

By far, one of the best books I've read. The most honest and intelligent, heartbreaking and hilarious book I've read. And definitely, one of my favourites to date.

Two weeks...



"That makes two weeks, she would later write in the basement.
Two weeks to change the world, and fourteen days to ruin it."

Another

Alhamdulillah.
Another year.
So blessed to have seen 27 years, praying for more in shaa Allah.

I took the Goodreads challenge for 2013.
To read 15 books.
I failed my 2012 challenge.
Pledged to read 10 books, only managed 9.
The number pledged is low because I'm being realistic.
I have a newborn and a 3 year old.
I'd be lucky to get to read at all.

And it's Colin Morgan's birthday.
Every new year should always be greeted by this gorgeous face.
