I sincerely apologise for this delayed post - I know it's supposed to be every day. But unfortunately I have been studying like a crazy person and doing exams and been extremely busy being sick! So, with that said and my apology out of the way, here are two quotes to make up for my absence.
“I didn't know you had a girlfriend, Griggs." Anson Choi feigns surprise. "What's her name?"
"I didn't actually catch her name," Griggs continues.
"Lily," Raffaela says over her shoulder and this time I give her a sideways look.
"Great to know that I'm in love with a girl with a cool name."
"It's Taylor's middle name," Raffaela calls back again.”
- On The Jellicoe Road, Melina Marchetta
“I want to tell him that deep down each time Hannah looked at him she was grateful it was him because Jude did something that the others didn't. He came back for her.”
- On The Jellicoe Road, Melina Marchetta
These two quotes are funny and moving respectively. These are the moments I look forward to reading because Taylor is so intense and sometimes you need Raffaela to try and get through to her. But Taylor's determination to locate the absent Hannah always keeps me reading and, no matter how many times I've read it, I always struggle to pull myself away from the world of Taylor Markham and back into my own.
