It dawned on me that I haven't posted about the books I read in January. I didn't read many physical books rather I listened to several audiobooks. The White Book by Han Kang is certainly a book in which I was truly absorbed. There is so much beauty and devastating pain in this book. A meditation on life and death. A reminder that life exists on tiny precious strand. The audiobooks I made my way through in January are: Little Women- Louisa May Alcott ( My mother once told me that she named me after Amy in Little Women. I have my doubts. But the myth suits me since I am a voracious reader and Little Women is one of the books I enjoy revisiting through the years) Killers of the Flower Moon- David Grann the true account about a years long killing spree in Osage Oklahoma and it's the first case in the history of the United states in which the newly formed FBI was involved. Did they get their man? Was justice served. We all have feelings about this. Spare- Prince Harry honestly I was let down by the lack of dirty laundry Prince Harry shared. I wanted an entire chapter dedicated to William's pegging. In all seriousness there are moments about which Harry speaks of his mother Princess Diana that were heartbreaking. The Writing Life- Annie Dillard every book of Ms Dillard's always takes me to another place mentally and spiritually Peace is Every Step- Thich Nhat Hanh a beautiful reminder to let go of the bullshit we carry and realize that we aren't the center of the universe that we are of the universe and we contain a universe within. Breathe in peace. Breathe out a smile. #booksbooksbooks #booksofig #booksofinstagram #ilovebooks #ilovetoread #readersofinstagram #classicliterature #thichnhathanh #anniedillard #davidgann #hankang #louisamayalcott #princeharry https://www.instagram.com/p/CoqPW3FLsms/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
