In honor of AN ILLUSION OF C O N T R O L that coming out yet this month (!!), I share with you one of the griefy novels I’ve read and l o v e d over the years. . KISSING IN AMERICA was lovely. There were so many quotes to choose from. For today, I choose this one, one that reminds me of what Fr. Michael said in his homily last weekend, something about our faith growing, God helping us, when we lose things. I’m still pondering the sentiment and its connection to me and my last five years, my last eight years. The past eight months. . “I think sometimes the biggest influence isn't what's present in your life, but what's absent. ⁣ Those missing pieces that shape you and change you, the silences that are louder than the noise.” ― Margo Rabb, Kissing in America . #kissinginamerica #margoraab #griefy #grief #griefjourney #bookquotes #bookaholic #booknerd #readersofinstagram #realmiereaders #ireadya #sadbooks #sadbookquotes #sadbooksmakesmehappy #booksaboutdeath #teenreads #bookstagram #amediting #mybookcomesoutsoon #octoberreads https://www.instagram.com/p/CGNk4-2A-he/?igshid=dbvjoujdo1f

QOTD: Do you like sad books? AOTD: Yes! I often connect more to the characters in sad books because of how you can really feel their pain throughout the story—and because in sadder stories, the characters often end up being stronger and better people in the end ✨ My current read is Me Before You by Jojo Moyes! I’d say a friend recommended it to me but she did the opposite. She warned me not to read it because it was too sad lol 😆😢 I’m not very far in but am liking it so far. Can’t wait to see how the characters develop! #currentread #currentlyreading #amreading #book #books #bookish #bookaddict #bookaddicted #booknerd #booknerds #booklove #booklovers #bookstagrammer #bookstagram #bookrecommendations #bookshelf #sadbooks #sadbooksmakesmehappy https://www.instagram.com/p/CP--WBCrgeC/?utm_medium=tumblr
