Blowing Time

Yancy Min Full disclosure: I am an online cat people. Whenever you try and ask for advice online relating to a cat, you encounter tens of comments telling you how bad of a cat person you are. You should have done that, you should do this other thing, you should definitely not do this, are you crazy?  Here's the thing. This person comes and asks a question, from this we can deduce that this person might not know, if they would know maybe they would not have been in the situation they are describing. Or, they don't have the resources or the ideas to do something one certain way or at a particular time so they are looking for alternatives. Let's stop assuming the worst. Just by asking that's a huge important step, it's clear they want to learn and do better.  So, cat people online, chill, help if you want to help because you are not achieving anything by making someone feel bad for asking.

Woah, I have this in my drafts since September, how did that happen? I have some ideas, but either way, I think it gathered enough dust and it is about time I post this. But first let me just mention from that start that I am not yelling at the authors here. There are a lot of different topics and genres and unless the writing is absolutely awful, anything goes as far as I am concerned. Who I am yelling at is the readers, but more accurately the ones of us (yes, me included) who write opinions or reviews on various sites after reading a book. And I am so mad at some of the reviewers. I have pretty good reasons, too, I'd say. At least me concerned. 

I'm not going to write a review for this book because I wrote one here . Instead I want to focus on a passage that I liked a lot and made me want to write about. But before that, Jack of Hearts (and Other Parts) by L. C. Rosen is a fantastic read, it might be one of the best books I read this year, it has everything and a little bit more. It is very well written, it offers some very good lessons and it is interesting, mysterious and touching. About the passage I mentioned and that I'm going to copy/paste here, I would like to specify the page it is on too, but on ebooks apparently there are no pages, only percentages, so I'm only going to specify the chapter.
