[Book Quote Tuesday] Drawing A Line for Justice

Where do you draw the line?

Myra here.

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

For the month of MAY, our book quote theme is: JUSTICE.

The Philippine election is happening this month (yes, I am a registered voter), and so I thought of devoting the entire month to JUSTICE, especially since fabrications, deceptions, manufactured versions of alternate realities are being peddled as so-called ‘truths.’

I bought a copy of Harper Lee’s Go Set A Watchman (Amazon | Book Depository) when it first came out, but I have yet to read it. I am planning on reading it after I finally find the time to read To Kill A Mockingbird (Amazon | Book Depository) which I shamefully admit to not having read yet. After Philippine Presidential Candidate (and human rights lawyer) Leni Robredo mentioned this to be her favourite book, I bumped it up my to-be-read-stack.

Have you read Go Set A Watchman yet?

How is it different from Harper Lee’s first novel?

Myra is a Teacher Educator and a registered clinical psychologist based in Al Ain, United Arab Emirates. Prior to moving to the Middle East, she lived for eleven years in Singapore serving as a teacher educator. 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).
