WHY I DON'T LOVE YOU

Don't you sometimes feel like the word "I love you" has been so used that it has lost its meaning over the years? I'm sure you do but what can we do about it. It just seems like we're doomed to the era of empty words. We can't even use some terms to express ourselves without someone else having a misconception based on their personal belief. We need redemption of expression! I make a lot of typographical errors because I don't bother reading what I type until it has been posted and that way you can guarantee that I'm imperfect and really passionate about what I post. Don't mind my mindless link between error and passion when one possibly has nothing to do with the other. Yet again, I'm drifting. I love so many people for certain things but I've never been in love with the opposite sex before. Why? I don't know. I get upset when some of them blurt out the words "I'm in love with you" even before they've met me. Guys and fellow men out there, please you only know the 'social media me'and not the real me. So let me tell you something about the real me that I always tell people, I'm annoying. I would annoy you so bad you'd wonder why we're friends but trust me, you'll still stick by me cos I'm just a big load of baby seeking your attention. I'm really bossy, some would say I'm a low key spoilt brat but hey, it's your opinion. Honestly, I just want to be loved like every other warm blooded girl on earth but I want to be loved for the right reasons. We all do. Saying I love you every now and then might have made it loose its meaning but you can still show me you love me without the words. Then maybe, just maybe I'd believe you. I'm signing out right now with a mission to drift to the dream land of fairy tales and fantasyland with Westlife's 'More than words' playing in my head. Earphones plugged, eyes closed, adieus amigos. 😘

PARADISE PARK

Paradise park has been my first and only Iris Gower novel and I must say I've been wondering what else she has up her sleeves. Given my busy schedule I've not really had time to sit with a good novel handy but I'm making a resolution to get back to the good old days. I'm starting this addictive journey with a doze of Iris Gower, it has taken me a week to get to the end but it was worth it.
The novel was set in a time when the railway was a big deal, I wasn't even born then. The characters were so different from each other and that made them unique. Rhiannon, who was popular known as a whore in the past, was a determined character who readily wanted to pursue success that didn't require her opening her legs. She saved a young whore from a disastrous future as well, chatterbox Sal. The love of her life happened to be married to a good friend of hers, Kate. But Rhiannon and Bulk had a future that even I didn't know was possible. Paradise Park, the novel, is the name of a hotel that used to be Rhiannon's doom but ended up being her saviour. It was a whore house but she made it a respectable hotel with the help of people she came to know and love.


I'm looking forward to getting a hold of more of Iris Gower's novels. This was in Large Print by Chivers Large Print Direct, so don't be scared off by the 352 pages. It's worth your time, trust me.
