With the lightning strike
of realisation, I see
how the veil is dropped
from the world
and bit by dreadful bit,
the truth
is unearthed.

Day 13: The Misadventures Of Awkward Black Girl, by Issa Rae
#BookSky #BookChallenge #ReadingWomen #30DaysBooksByWomen
the cataclysm
the denouement
it remains a mystery

my friend was gone
i still care about you

Fun fact: South Africa is one of the world's most biodiverse regions...but most of us never really get to enjoy it. Which is why #NationalGardensWeek is so awesome - this week, there's FREE entry to all national botanical gardens. Swing by and take a break, folks!

“There’s a sunrise and a sunset every single day, and they’re absolutely free. Don’t miss so many of them.”

#BookSky #BookChallenge #ReadingWomen #30DaysBooksByWomen #science

Plain Jane was #dreary but kind - the saint of the sorority.
Beautiful #jewelry she gave them, inscribed with odd runes.
Friendship rings, she said, #alluding to imaginary principles binding them.
As she blossomed, her sisters faded.
The rings never did.

Day 12: Lightning's Daughter, by Mary H. Herbert
#BookSky #BookChallenge #ReadingWomen #30DaysBooksByWomen #fantasy
Fragments of eternity
that’s what we say we are
A new morning comes
without asking
The dark breaks
A few stars remain
tiny coals in the sky
The sun rises
Briefly
the world seems #magnanimous
Then the day returns
to its simple necessities
And we remember
less than we think

Day 11: Eats, Shoots & Leaves - The Zero Tolerance Approach To Punctuation, by Lynne Truss
#BookSky #BookChallenge #ReadingWomen #30DaysBooksByWomen
So simple and yet so beautiful (and true). Consider me inspired...and off to do some spending 🙂
This day can be yours,
But you cannot return it,
Best to spend it all.

"If you turn it clockwise..."
The clouds vanished.
"Place it in the soil..."
A #bountiful harvest appeared.
"And if you break it?" the boy laughed, smashing the #talisman.
Earthquake. Fire in the skies. #Calamity.
The old wizard sighed.
"Damn kids."

Day 10: Lost & Found, by Kathryn Schulz

Book wyrms twist the end scenes
Adding bright and new things
Indra’s net made manifest
Flying across unseen pages
New beginnings sprout
Authors grow the all-canon
He was in mourning, of course. Dead wife and all.
No wonder he seemed so tired, so #dreary. So #lethargic.
They smiled sadly, sympathetic, understanding.
But they didn't hear the midnight steps. The moans.
They didn't know her like he did.
"Till death," he whispered.
If only.

Day 8: The Bridgertons: Happily Ever After, by Julia Quinn
#BookSky #BookChallenge #ReadingWomen #30DaysBooksByWomen
You’re not just a story,
The beginning and end,
You’re the things in the middle,
That you can’t comprehend,
Not just as you’re written,
Your life in its stages,
You’re things in-between,
Flowers pressed in the pages.

There was a city here once. Or so they say.
A place of #splendour, where mighty rivers #wound their way around great #towers, and all things seemed possible.
No one knows what #calamity befell them.
But time, like the desert, swallows all.
Only the stories remain.
