Share your #LittleVictories with Team Bookends

Hello lovely readers!

Today we’re celebrating the publication of Not That Kind of Love by Clare and Greg Wise by sharing all of our #LittleVictories – those everyday successed that we so often take for granted, like getting the kids to school on time or managing to wear matching socks in the morning!
Not That Kind of Love is a moving, thought-provoking and surprisingly humorous book which is both a description of a journey to death and a celebration of the act of living.
Based on Clare Wise’s blog, which she started when she was first diagnosed with cancer in 2013, this book charts the highs and lows of the last three years of Clare’s life.

The end result is not a book that fills you with despair and anguish. On the contrary, Not That Kind of Love should be read by everybody for its candour, and for its warmth and spirit. Clare is an astonishingly dynamic, witty and fun personality, and her positivity and energy exude from every page.
As she becomes too weak to type, her brother – the actor Greg Wise – takes over, and the book morphs into a beautiful meditation on life, and the necessity of talking about death.
This is a very special read that rejoices in the extraordinary and often underestimated sibling bond, and the importance of making the most of the ordinary pleasures life has to offer.
As Greg writes in the book:

So please do get involved and share with us one of your #LittleVictories
