A Little Life: A Novel | Hanya Yanagihara

Just finished this. It‘s famous for making people sob their hearts out. While it didn‘t make me cry, it‘s one of the best books I‘ve ever read. (But seriously, if this made you cry, don‘t read any Kristin Hannah books cuz you‘re gonna have a bad time. Lol)

This book was INCREDIBLE. I can‘t remember the last time I genuinely enjoyed a book so much. If you‘re in a reading slump, I highly suggest you read it.

When a book reminds you so much of your own past, it‘s heartbreaking in the best way.

It‘s amazing how books can make you feel so connected to a person of a different ethnicity, from a different time and place. We really do have more in common than we know.

Me: Why does my currently reading stack keep getting bigger instead of smaller even though I‘m constantly reading?
Also me: *Spontaneously checks out an 804 page book from the library because it looks pretty. *

Daisey I've had this same problem! 5y
julesG Same here! Plus spending time on Litsy instead of reading the books. 5y

Queen of Air and Darkness | Cassandra Clare

“So you think this feeling you have, of missing half of yourself, must be fixed. That it can‘t be what everyone else is feeling when they lose someone. But it is. Grief can be so bad you can‘t breathe, but that‘s what it means to be human. We lose, we suffer, but we have to keep breathing.”-Magnus Bane
