Myra here.

It is that time of the week again where we share a book quote that seemed particularly striking for us.

I am wary of books that are deliberately designed to be tearjerkers. Hence, I have been avoiding this particular title that is known to tear the reader’s heart open. But this quote from My Sister’s Keeper by Jodi Picoult (Amazon | Book Depository) is making me rethink my resolve.

About Myra Garces-Bacsal

Myra is a Teacher Educator and a registered clinical psychologist based in Al Ain, United Arab Emirates.

She has edited five books on rediscovering children’s literature in Asia (with a focus on the Philippines, Malaysia, India, China, Japan) as part of the proceedings for the Asian Festival of Children’s Content where she served as the Chair of the Programme Committee for the Asian Children’s Writers and Illustrators Conference from 2011 until 2019. While she is an academic by day, she is a closet poet and a book hunter at heart. When she is not reading or writing about books or planning her next reads, she is hoping desperately to smash that shuttlecock to smithereens because Badminton Is Life (still looking for badminton courts here at UAE - suggestions are most welcome).
