Oooh another book for my TBR - thanks! Also, I would like to second your rec of the Wolf Hall trilogy. I didn’t think I would like it, based on the subject matter, but my mom insisted that it would pull me in and as usual, she was right.

There have been a few more recent ones, but the middle-of-the-night book that comes to mind is High Tide in Tucson. I read it while nursing a newborn who seemed to be nocturnal. It got me through, and I still return to and think about that book, now my baby is almost 12.

Love this. A book that really helped me in a time of need was The Happiness Project by Gretchen Rubin.

This same sentence stopped me in my tracks. Beautiful because it’s true, and also because those words could be stepping stones to empathy.

"To have overcome adversity means you are strong, but it doesn’t mean you aren’t afraid." Yes.

This book is a must-read for me. I will get it the minute I stop typing this comment. Thank you for sharing what you heard, thought, felt, and how it left you.
