The Tunnels Below Blog Tour - Nadine Wild-Palmer: The Books I Grew Up With
It's my stop on the blog tour for The Tunnels Below by Nadine Wild-Palmer, and I'm really excited to have debut UKMG author Nadine stopping by to share with us a guest post about the books she read when she was growing up.
The Books I Grew Up With
"It doesn’t matter who you are or what you look like as long as somebody loves you." The Witches, Roald Dahl.
I still can’t read the closing chapters of Roald Dahl’s The Witches without bursting into tears. After all the thrilling, gorey adventures of in the story it’s the winding down of the closing chapters that still make my heart ache. A good book, a really good book, ends well. You can feel that it is finishing and that you have to say goodbye to characters you have spent several hours or days or, for me, in some cases years with and you are filled instantly with a feeling of nostalgia. The best writing will throw you right back to that place and the feelings you felt the first time you read it, if you were to open the book right here right now.
