Tumbling into the bright abyss of a fresh story.
It is difficult to calculate the degree of joy I felt when I looked up recently, and realised my daughter and I were simultaneously reading different Neil Gaiman books.
There is a special bond that comes with sharing your literary likes and loves with someone else.
May her life always be filled with the delicious plunge that comes from getting immersed in fresh stories inked out on paper pages.
