Winter by Ali Smith
4.0

Winter is my favourite season. It’s quiet- the snow blocks all the city noise and you’re left with an eerie silence, so much so that your thoughts feel alone on their own. And it’s quiescent without guilt- snuggle in bed all day reading because you’re sick (cough cough)? No problem. Borrow your friend’s oat milk to pour over your fifth cup of hot chocolate? All bueno. Imagine that- all wrapped up in Ali Smith’s quirky (does that word have negative connotations now? Oh well I mean it in the positive sense) writing. I never know where she’s going with anything but she always traces everything back to something and I love it. I also love Iris and Sophia and Lux and Art (in nature).

“Imagine being haunted by the ghost of a flower.”

“Where would we be without our ability to see beyond what it is we’re supposed to be seeing.”

Winter is winter-baby approved
