With total 240 prose, i gave up at ‘79’. Still tried to regain my strength to keep going. I wouldn’t call it a book on blue but a book on being in love with the colour blue. I tried very hard😓 to catch what Maggie(author) has expressed because of it‘s exceptional mode(for me). I fancied to read it very interestingly but the book was too much for me >.<
The episodes are in a scattered way, but able to be well perceived. The episodes are of the Prince of blue; taking care of a friend suffering from quadriplegic. And the colour blue that made her avert from the pain and loss.
The book was too much for me because i am a noob and it‘s certainly of a very high level. So honestly i am still pretty far away from the ending but i will be posting the rest of it, later.
Here’s some of my favourites from bluets, you should grab a copy of it, and don’t be upset for you’re slow progress, mine is slower then a sloth(lol). It’s good for everyone. 🤙🏽

So these were some 10 quotes or whatever you would like to consider them. My favourites are more than these but I don’t think it’s ideal to post all. You must grab a copy of it.
Until next time…….
Thank you
