Places I Like to Go... Cath Crowley's Blog

I love the way Cath Crowley strings words together. Graffiti Moon was one of my favourite books for 2011. I was guilty of sharing it around with lots of friends and gloating 'I called it' when it won so many awards. My personal reading criteria for a great book is an enthralling story and beautiful words. I like other mixes too, but that one's my favourite. And it describes Graffiti Moon perfectly.

I dropped into the Cath's blog today and found this ...

In that nothing night

The stars caught the bus

To the other side of town

To go to the pub

The moon followed

Like moons do

....

Head over to Cath's blog to read the rest of the poem.

Blog Treasures

I'm supposed to be writing a review of Cath Crowley's Graffiti Moon. I loved it - you'll find my review at The Reading Stack shortly. But I've been derailed. When I dropped into Cath's website to check a few facts, I was distracted by her blog and I've been there ever since - until I took another sidetrip here to tell everyone about all the treasures I found.

Beautiful, beautiful pictures painted with words. Lines I long to have written. This poignant piece, when we marry, made me cry - inside first, then outside. This wonderful poem on perspective (sometimes) life sucks, (sometimes) life (doesn’t) suck contains words I could live my life by. I printed it out and stuck it on my wall.

Now for the ultimate detour. I'm off to the library to hunt down the Cath Crowley backlist
