"Don't be afraid to fall apart, because it's an opportunity to rebuild yourself the way you wish you had been all along" - Pema Chodron. To me, this book isn't just for when things fall apart. It's wisdom for every, single, ordinary day ❤ #pemachodron #booksthatchangedmylife

DivineDiana I bought this book right after the 2016 Presidential Election. 6y
non_material_girl @DivineDiana very pertinent ☺ 6y

#BooksThatChangedMyLife
I read this for the first time around the age when You start to understand that people who die don‘t come back😔 This book was a huge comfort and it had an enormous influence on how I feel about death and dying.

Last day of books that changed my life. I took a chance on this book in a charity shop & I'm so glad I did! Although it's the second book in the series (the first is Talking to the Dead), Harry Bingham has now become an auto-buy author & introduced me to the psychological crime thriller genre - a new firm favourite!

Today I tag @Bambolina_81

Day 6 of books that changed my life. Yes I know it's another 18th century book but this one led me to my MA dissertation topic and my love of the Gothic genre.

Tagging @TrishB if you'd like to join in.

Northanger Abbey | Jane Austen

Day 5 of books that changed my life.

I believe everyone has an order of favourite Jane Austen novels and for me this book is Northanger Abbey (with Sense and Sensibility being a close second - Alan Rickman 😍😢💔) as this book told me I might enjoy the Gothic genre! (I do like it!)

Velvetfur Thank you for the tag! Erm, what do I do?! Do I have to start from 1 and continue or can I just name one book...? 😊 6y

Day 3 of Books that changed my life - Songs of Innocence and of Experience. This selection of poetry is special to me for 2 reasons! 1) It reminds me of my favourite teacher at upper school & 2) because of reason above I ended up writing my BA dissertation on Blake's poetry and this collection of his poems featured quite heavily!

Day 2 of Books that changed my life - I had a choice of three Shakespeare plays, but decided on the one I studied three times at school, & by a coincidence three is a significant number in the play!

CoffeeNBooks This is my favorite Shakespeare play! 6y
